Blood Work

Blood Done Sign My Name, penned by Timothy Tyson in 2004, “is both memoir and history” that unflinchingly centers on the complex chronicle of race relations in North Carolina (Tyson, 323). Through the author’s attempt to rediscover “the other South” – the South that has been systematically obliterated from history, the novel suggests that white Americans must candidly confront its society’s segregated past if they are to genuinely reconcile. There can only be restorative justice if the perpetrators – White supremacists – acknowledge their wrongdoings and society takes steps to amend them.

Identity that which we all struggle to find. Miklo is the very same case in Taylor Hackford’s Blood In Blood Out who struggles to prove himself as a Chicano due to his white skin however culturally Miklo is as Chicano as anyone in Onda. The most important part of this dynamic, is that when Miklo gets arrested for killing spider, a rival gang leader, the prison gang system is divided by race and skin color all which he is stuck in the middle of. In prison, is where he would meet Magic a member of spider’s gang which openly fought with Miklo’s gang Vatos Locos. They quickly become friends despite their previous conflicts and confrontations between the two gangs because as Popeye mentioned everything is determined by race. This is relevant as in

There Will Be Blood is a historical drama written and directed by P.T Anderson. The film explores themes of ambition, loneliness, lust for power, false personas, hatred, lack of faith, mistrust and loss of humanity. Anderson explores these themes through the characters of Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday. In addition to character exploration, Anderson uses a variety of cinematic techniques in order to subtextually portray these themes. These techniques include, contrasting lighting, long shots, wide angles and mis en scene. The first themes to be explored in There Will Be Blood are ambition and loneliness. The film begins with a wide shot of a vast and open terrain. This signifies the emptiness of our setting. We meet the character of

There are four blood types found in humans. These are A blood type which has the genotype either AA or AO, B blood type which has the genotype either BB or BO, AB blood type which has the genotype AB, and O blood type which has the genotype OO. These genotypes show a combination of complete dominance and codominance. A and B traits are dominant to the recessive O trait, however, the A trait is codominant to the B trait. Each blood type codes for certain antigens. A blood codes for the A surface antigen, B blood codes for the B surface antigen, AB blood codes for both the A and B surface antigen, and O blood does not code for a surface antigen. Therefore to determine one’s blood type a test can be performed

If a simple blood test could accurately diagnose a blood concussion, researchers hope that it will one day be used on the field with trainers, coaches and parents for developing a plan of action. According to the Centers for Disease control and prevention, analysts estimate that around 1,000,000 children have to be treated in hospitals for traumatic brain injury because of playing sports.

By 1865, Union soldiers perceived the bloodhound as a weapon by which the planter class oppressed not only slaves, but white unionists and northern prisoners of war. The savagery of the bloodhounds illustrated what Northerners considered to be the true brutality of the culture of the “Southern chivalry.”

“So while this is the story of a small boy in a small town one hot Southern summer,” Timothy B. Tyson writes as he closes the first chapter of Blood Done Sign My Name, “it is also the story of a nation torn apart by racial, political, social and cultural clashes so deep that they echo in our lives to this day.” Thus begins Tyson’s story of the murder of Henry Marrow, a 23-year-old black man who was shot in the town of Oxford. The murder was a turning point in Tyson’s understanding of race relations in the small town where he lived and it sparked an investigation of the role racism played not only in his community but around the U.S., from the abolishment of slavery to the present. Although Tyson primarily uses examples from his own experience and the experiences of his family and neighbors, he draws details from the political and racial climate at the time to add context to his story. However, Tyson’s accounts of racism in Oxford, North Carolina also add a sense of reality and familiarity to the much broader examples. Tyson uses examples of the color line, paternalism, and the normalization of racism to reveal the different ways that racism has manifested in American society.

The Blood In My Veins is a creative response to Tjukurpa Kunpa, 2017, by Mumu Mike Williams and Willy Muntjantji Martin, senior men from the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands.

Timothy B. Tyson, born 1959, had a unique childhood as the son of a Methodist minister who supported the civil rights movement. He accepted his parents’ liberal attitude, and struggled to reconcile it with the society around him – that of white supremacy and black oppression. Later, he attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Emory University for his BA, and returned to Duke University to earn his PhD in history. He began his teaching career with US History while attending Duke, then switched to Afro-American Studies in 1994. Based on Tyson’s parenting and field of study, it can be expected to be a solid narrative that, while containing signs of white privilege, gives insight into how people can rise from oppression.

When examining the several approaches of the Civil Rights Movement that are discussed in Blood Done Sign My Name, I found that no approach on its own would of accomplish something. Whether it was the nonviolent marches which were not able to seize the attention of the white authority, or the racially motivated violence which petrified whites, through the combination of these: radical, liberal, and conservatives; the Civil Rights Movement was able to push for what they strived.

In Tyson’s book, “Blood Done Sign my Name,” he attempts to bring to the forefront, an episode in his past that had followed him into adulthood. Growing up in the aftermath of the racial headwinds of the 1960’s when blacks were still trying to fit into a society that had long been dominated by whites, Tyson is still trying to come to terms with the turmoil he witnessed as a child in 1970’s Oxford, North Carolina. The episode surrounds the brutal killing of a black Vietnam veteran, Dickie Marrow, in the streets of Oxford in 1970. After being gunned down, Dickie Marrow lay helpless on the ground pleading for his life while three white men beat him with fists, feet, and the butt of a rifle until at last, the fatal shot rang out that ended his life.

Without the help of over fifty riverboat captains, Jane Curry's book would have never been able to be put together. The River’s in my Blood is an excellent read for those from the midwest region, since there are so many river’s surrounding them. Jane Curry’s main goal is to inform readers about life for captains on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. This she succeeded at by interviewing retired workers and captains.

Over the summer, I began a series on netflix named Blue Blood. It is about a family, The Reagans, who are or were in the New York Police Department. The show revolves around five members of the family who are in the criminal justice field; the Reagans grandfather is retired from police force, the father is the police commissioner, one son is a rookie in the police force, the other son is a detective in the force, the daughter is a district attorney, and their other brother, who was also a police officer, was killed. With the members of the Reagan family being in different aspects of the job, this show shows different aspects of police culture.

belonging and family, whereas in the outside world they were seen as enemies. As a result, it becomes apparent that minorities from different backgrounds face similar difficulties when trying to assimilate into the American culture. It is through these difficulties that they begin to develop feelings of loneliness, and what can potentially motivate them to go down a path of delinquency, as it is a lot easier than having to face the challenges of trying to adapt to a different culture.

Analyzing different forensic pathologist daily journal, I found it really fascinated what exactly they are doing. Pathologist are the ones who tend to further expand a criminal investigation through all the multiple testing. They will run DNA test and bone test throughout the whole day. Most forensic pathologist have a system when it comes to figuring out the cause of death. Typically, the pathologist will look for evidence to indicate the cause of death like a cut womb. After they will start running DNA test. In some cases pathologists will test blood and tissue to identify the person. Furthermore, pathologists spend most of their time running test in lab. Also, pathologist are able to identify the amount of time a person has been dead. In
