In the narrative: Boyz ‘r’ us by Scott Monk, we comprehend the author’s depiction of Mitch. That he is an incorrigible young adolescent with many obligations, upon his shoulders. We perceive that Mitch is confined within a gang, a gang that is pessimistically changing his life, it is also having disdainful influence on his deportments and it is carrying out that influence with him in his life. We are exposed to the theme of change in Mitch’s life when encountering some drastically different: characters, setting, situations and outcomes. The author certifies Mitch’s life one-step at a time, by exploring the depth of Mitch’s predicaments, in other accounts; inquiring into the theme of adolescent etiquettes and by positioning us in the centre of the contingencies.

In the book All American Boys what the authors suggest about the nature of bias is that it is a factor in the lives of many people in some way, and is one of the main reasons why society is not equal. This is shown when the general white population in the book sides with Paul after the altercation with Rashad, even though the plot made it so clear Paul was in the wrong. The first piece of evidence is when the presumably white school committee was only looking for spray paint cans in the lockers of students of color, which is portrayed in the following quote said by Jill: “‘That’s what I saw. Three black students, boys, in a row. Then Martinez. They skipped me!’” (183). Jill was so outraged by what happened at this point in the book because

Justin Rollins, raised in the streets of South-London, was deprived of a childhood where he fought for purpose in a world filled with racism and violence. In his book “The Lost Boyz” he tells us the crucial events which occurred throughout his upbringing which shaped his journey through his teenage years. This essay will critically evaluate the theories and explanations for Rollins’ offending behaviour using a wide range of criminological perspectives.

“Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will.” (Norman Cousins) “The Lost Boyz” by Justin Rollins, is a remarkable, personal recount of the author’s dejected youth as well as a deep, raw and vivid insight into the ways and consequences of a broken youths’ mind (Rollins, 2011). Throughout his book, Rollins depicts the divergent factors responsible for his descend into the criminal lifestyle, ultimately attributing them to two key criminological theories; classicism and positivism (Newburn, 2017). Classicist criminology, or the classical approach to criminal behaviour is centred around the idea of free will and rational thinking, defining the criminal

The film “The Brandon Teena Story” followed the story of Teena Brandon’s, who went by the name Brandon, death in Nebraska. Brandon lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, as a male, despite him being born as a female, at the start of the film.

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood leaves the audience questioning, asking, and wanting more. The entirety of the film is a recollection of memories and experiences throughout the course of Mason’s childhood. Overall Boyhood is like an unsolved puzzle with missing pieces that aren’t enough to solve the puzzle. The entire movie is questionable and has so many gaps in-between each memory that there really is no plot. Since there isn’t a plot it makes you question if it is really about boyhood, about family, maybe Mason’s childhood, or girlhood. Certain questions begin to formulate like, why doesn’t Linklater use the typical format of storytelling during Mason’s childhood? How come we never know what happened between Oliva and Mason Sr? Why doesn’t

In Rebecca Traister’s,” Big Girls Don’t Cry,” she took readers on a journey of the primary elections and the Presidential Election of 2008. She opens up with blatantly stating her support for Hillary Clinton. The author then recognized the contributions of the spouses of political figures by adding a twist. If they were known for being in politics, they were illustrated as a very homely and friendly person. If they are used to supportive roles, they are highlighted for their actions or contributions to the campaign. . President Clinton is quoted on his views on becoming a first gentleman as if h knew Hillary would win. Michelle Obama is referenced as a dim wit. Interesting enough, Palin’s family is not necessarily mentioned on their take in

The longest yard was released on May 27, 2005. The director was Peter Segal and the producer was Jack Giarraputo. This movie was about inmates playing football against prison guards. (IMDb.com, Inc., 2017) Now I’m sure some things that happened in the movie happens in a real jail. I never heard of inmates playing football against the guards. Now a day that would probably turn out so bad. This movie to me didn’t show how it really is in prison. The image is
