Matthew Henry-Marshall Parting The Waters: America in the King Years: 1954-63 By Taylor Branch, Simon & Schuster, 1988 Parting the Waters is most likely the definitive work on the Civil Rights movement. At over 1000 pages, Branch seems to ensure that no detail is left behind when documenting the rise of Black Civil Rights to the national agenda. The book reads like part storybook, part historical document. Branch does not endeavor to interpret events through an ideological or sociological framework. Instead, the main task of the book is to inundate the reader with peoples, places, and events which occur behind the scenes from the early days of the civil rights movement thru its zenith in 1963.
This essay appeared about a month after Benny Paret died on May 5, 1962. Due to its considerably recent release to the incident the event is still fresh. Instead of being able to put the blame of the killing of Benny Paret on someone else, Norman Cousins forces the public to realize it is really the fault of those who watch boxing. It forces them to realize the consequences of their violent entertainment. I believe that the impact of this essay is still very huge.
Doc Savage: Rebooted Posted by PLee at 11:00 AM Wednesday, July 13, 2011 | Labels: by PLee, pulp, Reboot Challenge, TV Any nerd worth the name has at least a passing familiarity with Doc Savage --- proto-superhero (right down to the Fortress of Solitude and the first name "Clark"), pulp crusader of the 30s and 40s, and reprint paperback superstar of the 70s. I've previously suggested bronze giant Dwayne Johnson as the star of a big-budget movie franchise, and I stand by that suggestion. In fact, DC just did a run of Doc comics set in a modern day pulp world --- cell phones and zeppelins --- which would be a great starting point for that franchise. But this is my other Doc Savage pitch . .
No Hunger for Knowledge In the science fiction classic Fahrenheit 451 written by the renowned author Ray Bradbury, many themes are displayed throughout the novel. The book depicts a story about a futuristic world that forbids people from reading. The main character Montag is a fireman. In the future a firefighter’s job was not to extinguish fires, but to actually start them. They wanted all books in existence to be burnt, to keep the public from reading and gaining knowledge to originate their own thoughts.

Hunter S. Thompson’s, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” is a self reflection of a journey to Vegas as a journalist for a sports magazine in which Thompsons persona, “ Raoul Duke” is accompanied by his Samoan “attorney” whose only counsel seems to consist of recommending illegal drugs. It is this drug counter-culture, which exposes Thompson’s desire of obtaining the “American Dream”. Thompson’s abstracted idea surrounding the “American Dream” arises primarily from the 60s, when America possessed the qualities of innocence and with the emerging drug culture promised a new perspective on reality. This quest for the ”American Dream” subsequently comes directly from the books subtitle, “A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream”. Though
Thesis statement: Some believe that those events that happened thirteen years ago was a staged event by the US government to influence the general public into fully supporting a war in Iraq. Can this ISIS conflict just be a part two? INTRO: It's becoming more a familiar sight day by day...unless you live under a rock, it is now next to impossible to open a newspaper, or turn on the television let alone surf the internet without running accross a story about the ongoing ISIS conflict happening in the Syria-Iraq region. Whether you are an advit follower of the esculating situation or like many when asked about the conflict;"just doesn't care". One thing is certain, ISIS has been very successful at not only grabbing the US government's attention but the media as well.
The first connection made is how the media is used to reinforce the control of dictators. For example, documents and books in Oceania are “rewritten a dozen times still stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed to contradict it” (Orwell 43). This amendment is done in order to show to the people in Oceania that the leader Big Brother is never wrong. There are also characters created such as “Comrade Ogilvy… whose life and death [Big Brother] held up as an example worthy to be followed” (Orwell 49). These are examples of how the media reinforces the power of the dictator.
In the United States public leadership roles range from community organizer, leader, state representative, city council, mayor governor, senator, congress and of course, the highest seat of official leadership, president. While the descriptive roles of the said titles will remain in place, I ponder how the forthcoming leaders in generation Y {born 1982-2000} {AKA millennial generation} will address today’s looming concerns that will be tomorrow’s issues. I recently read a powerful quote that did not have the author’s name at the end. Despite the question of authorship, the quote was a stark reminder of the current rolling coin of change taking place in America. It read: “Changing world political realities, population demographics, the environment
