Reading this essay has opened my eyes to the way life was how blacks were treated and all of the stereotypes that were supposed to be a depictions of how black people acted. It’s really hard for me to relate and have a deep critique because the essay was (to me) just giving information about the first black character types, and not so much arguing a main point. I do think that it was very informational and provides great facts about the movie industry in that era, more than a hundred years ago. Wow. Coming into this essay not knowing anything about these various types of characters, gives me a greater appreciation for Donald Bogle’s essay “Black Beginnings”.

Ponyboy remembers Bob saying this not even a week before. Both boys are victims of the violence between the Socs and the Greasers, and die before the story is over. They both have violent tendencies, look for fights, and end up losing their lives because of it; more important, both draw ideological lines in the sand. The Outsiders ends with its own opening sentence, as Ponyboy begins to write his assignment for English class, and it becomes clear that the story the reader has just finished is the assignment itself. It is inspired by Johnny's letter to Ponyboy, in which he explains what he meant by his last words: "Stay gold."
The Raven Theatre Company presented Radio Golf, by August Wilson, which was performed at the Raven Theatre and was directed by Aaron Todd Douglas. Radio Golf was the last play that August Wilson wrote before he died in 2005 caused by liver cancer. This play won the 2007 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. The playwright, August Wilson was trying to demonstrate how life was still tough in the 1990’s for African American people. He intended to show how being black affected the role in being a politician, but at the same time he showed the devotion that African American people had in doing what they dreamt to do.
One example of flashback as employed in the short story is a seven year old Thomas telling Victor a story of his father, who at the time resides at home. Thomas tells him, “Your father's heart is weak, he's afraid of his own family, he's afraid of you, (Alexie 61).” Yet in the film, we see the development of Arnold's character when by accident, he comes upon Thomas while he is off on a secret quest looking for a vision from the forefathers. Arnold laughs at the telling and takes him to Denny's for breakfast and then home to the reservation though he extracts a promise from Thomas to look out for Victor and to help him when needed. A second example of flashback inAlexie’s short story is at the age of ten, Victor asks Thomas to tell him a story after the fireworks show. Thomas responds with a tale of two boys wanting to be Indian braves.
For a class assignment at Morehouse College, Dr. King was introduced to Thoreau’s work “Civil Disobedience.” From this influential work, Dr. King, for the first time, learned of the theory of passive resistance. Thoreau argued that the smallest minority, even just “one honest man,” could start a moral revolution. However, Dr. King was still unsure how to implement this theory until he was a student at Boston University. There, he heard Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson’s lecture on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Afterward Dr. King said, “The message was so profound and electrifying that I left the meeting and bought a half-dozen books on Gandhi’s life and works.” He spent hours studying and reading Gandhi’s works and found that Gandhi was also inspired by Thoreau’s “Civil
Also after watching it I did not had some deep feelings about any of the characters of the movie and I did not got anything learning from that movie. For some of people who loves movie just to relax they might love it. I was excepting from that movie that it will show maybe something about Indian person who will get education and make something different in his life, but it did not. Another thing that I still wonder is the name of the movie: Smoke Signals. My opinion is that in the begging of the film smoke showed the death and trouble for somebody.
In Reginald McKnight’s story, “the kind of like that shines on Texas,” he suggest that it takes a boy to make problems, but it takes a man to solve them. In the beginning Clint starts problems at school, by judging a African American, and which he is too.

The movie I chose to view and analysis for this assignment was Steel Magnolias. The reason I chose this movie is because I hadn’t seen it before and some of my favorite actors where in the movie.

Steel Magnolias is an American comedy-drama television film directed by Kenny Leon. It is an adaptation of Steel Magnolias.
