Always Outnumbered

In my opinion, a book is always a better choice for entertainment then a movie. Usually, when a book is adapted into a movie; the movie always seems to omit scenes and details mentioned in the book. This is the same with Walter Mosley’s Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned; a novel that tells a story surrounding a man named Socrates Fortlow.

In “Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned,” by Walter Mosley, ex-convict from South Central Los Angeles, Socrates Fortlow, makes a difference in his community by helping/guiding an 11-year old boy soon to be gang member, Darryl; helps long time friends, Howard and Corina Shakur, get their family back in order; and helps get rid of a murderer in the neighborhood, Petis. In “Crimson Shadow,” Socrates takes Darryl under

Two Kinds is a wonderful little short story about a immigrant Chinese woman in the mid 1950’s to early 1960’s that moved to Chinatown in California to give herself a better opportunity to make it in America.

PHIL 0012 Tuesday 6 PM Fuwen Tu One Reason to Question Justice: the Missing Element of Self-discipline Whether justice is a good part of living a happy life or not is an important issue to address in Philosophy. According to Glaucon, there are three kinds of good. The first kind of good is that the thing is ‘welcomed for its own sake’ (Lee, 41). This kind of good is good in itself such as pleasure. The second kind of good is something people desire; it is good in ‘both itself and its consequences’

Beautiful. That is how I would describe her. Rayah Lou’ren Gibson was the absolute light of my life. She was born on Thursday, August 14th, 2008. She was not my biological daughter, but she was and always will be my baby girl—my little princess. I often called her my angel. She loved dancing and singing, she loved the movie Frozen, the song, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?”, and her favorite color was purple. She loved her friends, especially Alina.   She really loved grocery shopping with me for

My day started like any other. I looked out the window and saw the beautiful clear and sunny sky in Miami, Florida. I lived there. It is always sunny and there is never a dull day. After I looked out the window I got dressed and went downstairs. I ate pancakes and bacon for breakfast. I packed my bag and started walking to school.

Whitney Houston was acknowledged for her exceptional voice: “a mezzo-soprano, she had tremendous range and popularized a difficult vocal technique, melisma, where a singer uses a range

Squirrel Crimes Be Like… Chapter 1 (Timothy) I was having such a wonderful day, it was just starting to chill. Winter would come soon, so I was looking for acorns under my favorite oak tree, it was over by where my life long friends live and it has the best acorns. Most squirrels think they taste the same, but in reality, these brown treats taste best when they are from old trees. New trees have hard acorns and it is difficult to taste anything but wood. And believe me, I know what that tastes like

In a 1988 BBC ‘network’ examination the former Chief Executive of Channel 4 Jeremy Isaccs said of sitcom “It is a form in which it is impossible to bring new work. It is the most conventional form in British television,”(Neale & Krutnik, 1990) while this comment is nearly 30 years old I feel Isaccs point still stands. Since television 's rise to dominance in the 50’s and 60’s television sitcom hadn’t progressed much from their radio sitcom forerunners, by the 1980’s the cliche and the tropes were
