Both poems use their titles to convey attitudes towards marginalised characters. In the title “Clown Punk”, the writer juxtaposes two contrasting ideas. The punk image was of aggression and intimidation; most punks of the 1970s would not have taken kindly to being called something as ridiculous as a “clown”. Straight away the writer has suggested that the narrator of the poem finds the punk image to be laughable and not intimidating at all. Similarly, the title “Give” suggests an attitude.

While his movies do rely on Black popular political consciousness, his unconventional approach to storytelling, the emotional intensity of his work. Both of these talented men have carved out relatively successful careers in film and media and both could learn from one another. Even though Lee has a artistic and political vision, it was simply a matter of time before he would publicly clash with Perry’s brand of Christo-entertainment. Perry could benefit from a close study of Lee’s politically rich and artistically fertile work. This may help him understand how his stories about Black women’s salvation being dependent on finding the “right” man is shallow, narrow, and offensive.
The writer of a TV show, especially today, has a highway to communicate with the entire world. At a time where there were so few options for programming writers like Rod Serling basically had exclusive means to communicate to the world. Mr. Serling seemed to take that opportunity seriously and chose to provide more than just entertainment. He chose to entertain by leading the masses to a certain frame of mind, a place where we were able to notice the unimportance of some things and always the ever-present bigger picture. With over 200 produced teleplays over just 25 years, Rod Serling is definitely one of the most successful screenwriters in television history (Vahimagi).

Another quote he ripped was Colbert joking about gays on his television show “There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell” this gallant quote is nothing more than a joke, and again even if Colbert was in any way seriously that opposed to being gay, Republican governor Rick Santorum has him beat when the governor compared being gay to such things as pedophilia, bigamy, incest and even bestiality. Compared to the governor and presidential front runner Rick Santorum, Colbert’s quotes are merely a joke; which is what it was intended to be in the first place. Obeidallah then ends this claim by comparing Stephen Colbert to Adolph Hitler by saying “These above quotes are clearly the words of a man with no regard for the values of
He was widely recognized for his many talents as an actor and rapper, but he is widely known for his poetic talents and great lyricism. Tupac wrote a lot of rhymes and songs during his brief lifetime, but, unlike other rappers, his words were more heard then just a good beat. He rapped about actual issues that a lot of people confronted daily and had meaning of things that were relevant feelings and social problems. “Changes” was some of Tupac’s best work, where he really shows his poetic and rhetorical
