The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

At the beginning of the novel there are a couple key of events. One being when “Big Tony” helped Michael Oher leave from the ghetto and move to Memphis, Tennessee to enroll into Briarcrest Christian School. Without “Big Tony” Michael would have never had been able to make it out and would have eventually dropped out of school or worse. That leading to the most important event so far, Sean Tuohy beginning to notice and help Michael. That moment changed everyone's lives as shortly after Michael became a part of the family. For the most part, this story takes place in the early 2000s between various places in Memphis, Tennessee. Honestly, the first two chapters had my attention on and off. Although, by the third chapter my interest spiked when

In a ground breaking documentary, that gained rotten tomatoes of 93%, The Hunting Ground, displays a monumental depiction of the rape culture on college campuses. This film spread like while fire and was highly talked about among college campuses. The documentary captures real life survivors known as “degraduates” because they are seeking not only their degree but justice (Dick et. al., 2016, p. 4). Some of the victims feel that justice still has not been served, which brings upon devastation on not only the victim but the victim’s families.

In the movie Higher Learning many characters face different situations, and the character that appeals to me, or that identify myself as, would be Fudge. The reason why Fudge is because; he encourages his friends to not look at a book for just an assignment, but to look into the book, and learn from it. I read books from time to time, and I read it to analyze its not just for an assignment, and I try to encourage friends to read it. Another Reason why I consider myself to be like Fudge is because, he looks out for his friends or like, he considers it his “homies” I would look out for my friends, and only they earned it I just won’t look out for a friend who fools around all the time. However I’m not fully like Fudge because, he would deal

I found the play to be far superior in comparison to the original film version as the movie's writing glorified modern American consumerism. A post war financial boom brought a great amount of advertising and promotion, and the movie was overflowing with blatant celebration of products. The presence of sexism as well of the obvious lack of racially diverse main characters, was a big problem for me in my terms of likability of the movie. The play was able to strip itself of the gaudiness/lack of diversity and that left room for a brilliantly crafted sub-plot with a well rounded cast and smartly written script.

It is time to bring all of these separate elements together in the analysis of one specific film, according to class text, “analyzing levels of meaning below the surface story can greatly enhance enjoyment as well as understanding of a film” (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014. p. 10.03). There are several different approaches to film analysis including formalist, auteurist, and generic or any combination thereof.
