As a result of the white heteropatriarchy prevailing over the United States, each minority American undergoes a unique struggle to establish an individual racial identity. Minorities define themselves in relation to their races based on differentiating qualities such as ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. Two documentary films that star minority figures and describe how race shaped these figures’ stories are American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs, directed by Grace Lee and O.J.: Made In America, directed by Ezra Edelman. These films differ in their content and structure because the former shares a positive story about a Chinese-American woman’s rise to success as an activist, whereas the latter explains the harrowing background and circumstances that corrupted a successful African-American male athlete. Grace Lee Boggs presents a confounding example of racial identity in that she aligns herself closely with black issues rather than Chinese-American or female causes. The articles “The Chinese Exclusion Example: Race, Immigration, and American Gatekeeping, 1882-1924” by Erika Lee and “When Whiteness Feminizes...: Some Consequences of a Supplementary Logic” by Rey Chow offer historical context surrounding Boggs’s identity by clarifying that Boggs emerged after the height of anti-Asian immigration policies and of white feminist theory. Unlike Grace Lee Boggs’ subconscious distancing from identifying as a Chinese-American woman, O.J. Simpson intentionally

In Confession, the priest affirms Jackie’s thoughts about his grandmother by calling her “a bad case” (181), making Jackie feel better for thinking about killing her. However, he still makes sure that Jackie knows that he is “a terrible child” (181), so he can have the sorrow for those thoughts that is necessary to make a good Confession. Telling Jackie that “there’s a lot of people” (181) he’d like to attack with a knife, the priest assures Jackie that his thoughts are normal, but then lets him know that those thoughts are dangerous by telling him that “hanging is an awful death” (181) and that everyone who killed their grandmother said “ ‘twas never worth it” (181). The priest makes Jackie so comfortable with him and Confession, despite Mrs. Ryan’s fire and brimstone teachings, that they were in the confessional “for a full ten minutes talking” (182). From the time he enters the confession box, the priest affirms, protects, and guides Jackie, teaching him what Confession is really about and showing him the way into a comic

How ironic that even when someone like Caitlin's father who's history of being selfish and cheap I his previous marriages could attract so many young talented ambitious women into matrimony. As the Chinese mom's daughters reflect on their stained memories of how their father treated their own mother, they relive how much anger and hostility they harbor for his role, or lack of, in being the head of their family. They not only tried to forget the details of their upbringing but they feared for the future if the possible wife he sought after. When the mail arrived from China in response to his quest for a new wife, it's almost like these women were desperate to leave their mainland and come to America

It is a pain that would scar the mind Shirley Jackson for her entire life. To make matters worse, her mother commonly would comment on Shirley’s “bad hair, weight, and lack of femininity” (Heller). Understandably so, Shirley held a sort of resent for her mother and her life at home would impact her mind in ways that almost no one can relate to.

Vandalism, murder, and rape are only a taste of the violence presented within the film American HIstory X (Tony Kaye). In his work, Kaye explores the origins of racism through the minds of Derek (Edward Norton) and his brother, Danny (Edward Furlong); however, the film tells the story of far more than these two brothers. It tells the story of all those who have ever overcame their prejudice feelings through the process of introspection and their proximity to those they are prejudice towards. While the situations and character transformations presented within Tony Kaye’s film are too radical and fast paced, it generates a true insight to the way of thinking that leads towards racism as well as how some may overcome this weakness of

In the story, First Confession, Jackie is the antagonist in the story and he is dealing with a lot of negativity around him.

To begin with, “First Confession” holds a strong message, but it holds it with a touch of humor. With this story being told from a reflective point of view, it really shows the comical sides of the story. Most of us have those stories that as we reflect on them now, can be very funny; the same was for Jackie. Jackie wrote about his first confession, which was probably from a few years back and now he highlights the funny parts of them. For example, the rivalry between Nora, his sister, and him. A rivalry which then seemed very serious for Jackie, was not that serious in reality. As well, his grandmother’s arrival was so bad for him then that he even plotted her murder. The humorous side of this story is reflected mainly in his conversation with the priest. The priest tells him, “Between ourselves, there's a lot of people I'd like to do the same to, but I'd never have the nerve.” By breaking this line of
