Have you ever wanted to learn information about the Civil Rights but format of the information is dull. It seems to be that way with many subjects. However, March is unlike most other historical documents. It is about Congressman John Lewis of Georgia and how he became involved in the Civil Rights.

In “The Glass Castle”, pages 62-121, some of the characters have an experience that makes them undergo a change in character. While it is not too noticeable, if you dig deep into the text you can see how the characters are affected, and possibly make some predictions of how this is later relevant to the story. Some of the predictions and assumptions may not be totally accurate, but are made based on evidence from the story. Jeanette, Brian, and Lori all go through a transformation after they each

Since the evolution of pop culture in America, the introduction of violent media to young, impressionable minds has been inevitable. As a child ages, they gradually adjust in response to their environment. Accessibility to media, or lack thereof, significantly shapes a child’s character no matter the generation they come from. If adolescents are only familiar with rainbows and sunshine, they will never be able to face the harsh truths of reality. Society teaches kids to fear and bottle up feelings

My name is Brittany Yvette Anderson, and I would be lying if I did not admit that the pre-symptoms of the CSI effect or not the reason that I I'm studying the major I am now. Watching the digitalized cut scenes of characters Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows serendipitously notice a needle head size speckle of blood on the wall fascinated me. Or the way they could take landline phone recording, and in twenty minutes trace it to a phone booth on 87th Street, as well as narrow down the voice,

Ever thought how dumb comic books or graphic novels were growing up? Why such avid readers were called (myself included) nerds? Yet were smarter than you? Think back to how geeky their way of speaking was and they touched on such complexities even for a book! Shortly, reasoning will tell you why comic books are the best. Over the years, from the 20th to 21st century, research and documentation has been stacking up to prove that comic books make their readers smarter. Comics make you want to read

There have been countless individuals who were willing to use their own voice to empower and support causes that they felt were just. Artists that were able to apply their talents to spark change and cause an impact, include, but are not limited to, Gil Scott-Heron, Bob Marley, and Killer Mike. Through their music, these artists were able to stand for those whose legs were too frail to hold their stance. 2015 has been the year with some of the most impactful massacres and scandals.

After about two years at Lincoln, Scott-Heron took a year off from an unconventional college career to write the novels The Vulture and The Nigger Factory, “inspired by some of the anger and resentment Gil felt about Lincoln and the tumult reverberating on other campuses (Baram).” He received esteemed recognition for the publication of The Vulture but he still enjoyed poetry and performing. By the start of the decade, he realized that he could combine

Analyzing 50’s and 60s American society through music The two songs that I am going to analyze Is Nina Simone “To Be Young, Gifted and Black,” and Gil Scott Heron “Whitey on the Moon”. I will view both of these songs in terms of there contributions to the counter hegemonic force fighting against the dominant white supremacist ideology that was prevalent during the 50’s and 60’s. To give some quick context about Nina Simone, she was a genuine musical artist who routinely recorded music that ranged
