There Will Be Blood Analysis

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

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.

“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.

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

Blood plays a significant role in this play and there is a lot of blood being shed, giving us a sense of horror and guilt.

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.

I attended the student breakfast last Thursday, September 14th, 2017 from 10-11 am given by Heather Ann Thompson. Thompson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian for her book Blood In The Water which is even being made into a motion picture. The main point that she reiterates throughout is that when viewing the prison system in America, you have to view as part of your family. For example, if someone you loved killed someone you love dearly, would you sentence them to life in prison? Or, if it’s just a random person who messed up and made a mistake, should they serve 30 years in prison? Although, as she mentions that the prison system is complicated and uncomplicated at the same time, there is no clear and distinct solution, the current

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.

Blood is a recurring theme in this play; the theme of blood shows the setting of the play at that time and the different moods and emotions acquired by the characters. This idea of blood in the characters mind reverse from the beginning of the play to the end. Blood traverses the play

Blood is a reoccurring image that travels with the characters, not only on their hands, but also in their minds. Wherever violence appears in the play, blood is portrayed in some way immediately

The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Maketh Responsible The word “gift” according to the Oxford American Dictionary means “a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.” According to Flannery O'Connor, author of Mystery and Manners, “A gift of any kind is a considerable responsibility” (Shreve). In today's world, a gift can very easily become categorized as something wrapped up and presented to someone on a special day.

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.

The Viewers have known blood to all of us to represent life, death and often injury. Blood is an essential part of life and without blood, we could not live. This is known to everyone, and because of this, when Shakespeare uses the imagery of blood to represent treason, guilt, murder and death. The audience have easily understands it and fits it in perfectly with the ideas we have of blood. Blood is the most prominent and seems to be the most important imagery of Shakespeare’s play ‘Macbeth’.

Given that blood spatter analysis is an emergent field, with rapidly occurring developments have significant probative implications for the court system, this project will seek to examine the multi-faceted elements of blood spatter analysis to provide an overview of the field’s different dimensions. Focusing on technical developments, analytical interpretation and court relevance, the project will propose that blood spatter’s analysis as a mainstream element of the CSI toolkit results from the combination of physical sciences and analytical rigor which lies at its core. Beginning with questions of technical and physical science, the project will
