As it turns out, this is nothing new for Sebastian, who has a reputation as a master of deflowering virgins. He agrees and of course succeeds but he has more challenging

Late one night the full moon spills its silver light upon to frozen streets illuminating the purple fog swirling up through the grates on the side of the street. Huge masses of the fog push its way up through the manholes in the streets. Slowly at first and then faster and faster the fog covers every inch of the ground.

As I approached the house, the door slowly opens and a Shadow steps towards me. The weather just dropped like 40 degrees, I don't like this at all. I turned on my flashlight, it was the first thing

The fog hangs low. It’s 7:00A.M., time for work. Exhausted, I climb into my car, careful not to venture into the thick, white, fog, as it is still clinging to the ground. I turn on my headlights, and slowly, make my way to Mcleston Elementary. I reach my school and enter it brace myself for a long day at work.

For my term paper I’ve chosen to reflect on two films “Dear White People” and “Selma” as well as ponder the state of race relations in the US currently in light of the protests and evident police brutality rampant across the nation. Selma is a historical drama film based on the 1965 voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery led by Dr. King, James Bevel, Hosea Williams and John Lewis.

Equality and Justice - false promises a nation was created to protect. The historical drama, Selma (2014), directed by Ava DuVernay, depicts some of the struggles African-Americans faced in the pursuit of equality and justice during the mid 1950’s to 1960’s, and the role Martin Luther King Jr. played in his attempt to overcome such inequalities.
