Don 't Be Willing For Pay The Price

The main character, Malik, is a cocky African American track star that thinks everyone has it easier than him. He feels that the world owes him something, but almost everyone in it will work to hold him down. Epps has made a living portraying one type of athlete or another, but this is probably his best work because he creates a character that can be very accurate and likeable one minute, but totally juvenile and wildly frustrating the next. He struggles throughout the movie, but like the Fredrick Douglas quote used here says, "without struggle there is no progress." Malik really grows up a lot because the three main people around him are good influences. Malik Williams (Omar Epps) fits the traditional athlete type: cocky and arrogant. An urban black male on a partial track scholarship, Malik is at school to run, not learn. His attitude is that the world owes him, not the other way around. The reality that he can lose comes as an ego-bruising lesson.

The prevailing ideologies that define masculinity within country music, and with even greater prominence in the “bro-country” subgenre, remains engrained within the concept of being an outdoorsman. Luke Bryan’s “Huntin’, Fishin’, Lovin’, Everyday,” acts as a laid back anthem to said country-man, whose song’s lyrical substance indicates that a true country boy yearns for a life within the rural setting. Luke describes “the prayer that a country boy makes” as one

“Other kids could play cowboys and Indians and imagine that they’d grow up to be cowboys,” he wrote in his Living Proof autobiography. “I couldn’t do that. I knew that I would never grow up to be a cowboy or a fireman or the president of the United States. I knew I’d grow up to be a singer. That’s all there ever was, the only option, from the beginning.” http://www.hankjr.com/career-biography/

As Superintendent Lopson, I first need to analyze the current policy. The policy is that suspensions are not concrete and it is the discretion of the principals. In order to come up with a solution, the superintendent needs to have another meeting with his board, once this issue has calm down. Right now, principal’s supporters are influencing the decisions of district. What needs to happen, is the district needs to vote on whether or not they will change the suspension policy. They should not do it at this meeting, since they have a lot distraction and outside influence. I would start by saying that changing the policy will be decided based on feedback. What I would do is send surveys to parents, principals, and teachers from the schools and have them express their concerns in terms the current policy. The surveys would be collected, data would be interpreted, and the board would make a decision. In the end, Mr. Lopson needs to
