Tyler Perry Motivation

As a child Perry grew up with a limited education. When he is young and after his parent’s divorce Perry is living with his dad and is going to school. He finishes grade three but after that he never returns. Perry’s father moves from state to state throughout his childhood and prevents Perry from returning to school. Perry’s father wants Perry to stay with him instead of going to school so he can do work and take care of him. As Perry grows older however he understands that his father kept him out of school and Perry becomes extremely angry with him. Smith stated, “That bastard never gave me a chance. He wouldn’t let me go to school…. he didn’t want me to learn anything, only how to tote and carry for him. Dumb. Ignorant. That’s the way he wanted me to be. So that I could never escape him” (Capote 185). However, Perry is an intelligent and talented man with great potential. He has natural music ability, he likes to read and improve his vocabulary, and he also knows how to draw. In spite of this he never received encouragement from his father or anyone else: “Oh, the man I could have been! ... But the time came I begged to go to school. I happen to have a brilliant

Whitney Houston is considered as one of the greatest singers of our generation. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, she holds the record of being the most rewarded female artist of all time. I chose her as my topic, because she represents resiliency and tenacity, despite her troubled experiences with drugs and her personal life. Whitney Houston comes from a family with an amazing, musical pedigree; her mother, Cissy Houston, was a successful back-up singer for Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. Dionne Warwick is her first cousin and Aretha Franklin is her godmother. In 1983, Houston was signed to Arista Records and music executive, Clive Davis, became her mentor and helped launch her successful career. Whitney Houston was

Perry’s childhood was an unfortunately tragic, formative time for him. When he was little, Perry’s mother was “entertaining” sailors, and when Perry’s father got home, he attacked his wife and the sailors scarring Perry for years to come and he later said that he was “scared because I thought my father was going to hurt me, also because he was beating my mother”(Capote274). Later, he was sent to an orphanage where he was abused by nuns who “Had a flashlight and hit [him] with it. Hit [him] and hit [him].” and “Whipped him for wetting his bed”(Capote93). Then, he was sent to another orphanage, this one even worse. One nurse made Perry’s life a living hell until she nearly killed him. She would “Fill a tub full of ice-cold water, put [him] in it, and hold [him] under ‘till [he] was blue” (Capote132). All of these things led to a biased look at what he thought and hoped his future could hold.

Have you ever endured an adversity in life? How did you progress through it? Was it the music that motivated you, a quote that inspired you, or a film that opened up your eyes to another world you never thought was possible? Through my diverse voice I would hook my audience by dedicating the film to people facing the same hardship the main character is enduring. For instance, in one of my screenplays entitled, “The Secret of the 1%” I would dedicate the film to the handworker that stays up all hours of the night to finish their work. Conversely if they cannot relate to the film through the line of dedication, I would try to inspire them throughout the movie. In the film entitled, “Against My Parent’s Will” if it were allowed I would play

Melissa Harris-Perry analyzes the myths surrounding black women and the implication that correlate with these myths. Perry focuses on three main stereotypes of black women that began with slavery and are still prevalent in society today. Perry not only examines the depth and causes of these stereotypes, but she also scrutinizes their role in African Americans lives as citizens today. Black women today are not only separated from society outside of the African American community, but there are also existing stereotypes within the culture. Examining the history of black women, the three prominent stereotypes attached to them and comparing these to society today, it is clear that the standard for African American women is not only

I chose the topic are college athletes given preferential treatment over non-athletes while in college because it is something very controversial in college athletics. Besides being controversial, I also find the topic very interesting. It is interesting to me to find out why college athletes get special treatment to play a sport when in reality the special treatment is probably a disservice to the athletes. Another reason I enjoy this topic is that I love sports in general and college athletics are some of my favorites to watch.

The show I choose to write about is a series on HBO titled Insecure, it takes place present time. It follows two black women, Issa and Molly and their uncomfortable experiences as professional black women in Los Angeles.

I choose this show because the scenarios that these women have to go through are topic and events I can relate too.

One topic I found interesting was the one about Bonnie and Clyde. I've heard about them but I never heard their story. Reading it in Kyjuan Martin’s infographic created a deeper meaning of the story to me. I learned that Bonnie was very smart. She had great grades and was “amongst the brightest of her peers.” Her family raised her as a Christian and so she has always been one. Clyde, on the other hand, had a life of the opposite. He would have died as a child due to not having much to eat but his parents gave up on their farming business and searched for something that gave them more money. His life was hard but he found his safe place in playing the guitar and saxophone. Later, his brother created a criminal out of him. He was sent to a prison
