My Favorite Movie Villain

The Dark Knight

The most interesting villain that really fulfills his role in the film is the Joker. The Joker is the main villain in "The Dark Knight", where he threatens the good in Gotham’s heroes and figures. In his first appearance the Joker is made fun of for wearing mysterious makeup on his face. When robbing the bank his crew kill themselves following the Joker’s orders. The Joker was respected and feared in a way; in the scene Joker outsmarts all the clown crew. The rising villain of Gotham is not feared by the mob if the city, but rather looked as a fool. The Joker the “foolish’ criminal has no rules, he enters ready to blow everything up along with himself. Throughout the movie the jester proves himself humored by violence and corruption of the city. As one character put it the Joker is someone “who just wants the world to burn,” I honestly believe the Joker is the perfect villain because isn’t after anything like money or control, like said he wants to see everyone turn bad. The way the Joker deals with the Batman, the mob, and the city officials, he always keeps his laugh and enthusiastic attitude; better yet he continuously smacks his lips when he speaks.  The Joker in fact even looks like a clown; shagged with green messy hair he wears white makeup all around his face. He has black paint around his eyes to seem more evil and red paint splashed like a smile around his wide mouth that was severed with a knife. To me this villain was the perfect villain where he is truly the dark side of the world; this is why the Joker is the best bad guy out there.

Thankful for _____

One person I am thankful for is Ashley Tobar
Ashley Tobar is a very little funny sarcastic person. Even though she is constantly carping you with insults, in the end she takes it all back Ashley is always there or you during sixth period and she I what helps me get through the second half of the day. Even though she is quite a taciturn person in the big outside world, she is really an enjoyable friend. This is why I am thankful for having Ashley as a friend.

Community Stories : An Account of Experience with Discrimination

Sojourner's idea of "the old slave-holding spirit", of whites still believing that blacks are inferior, even after slavery has been abolished, compares to the idea that one community and environment shapes one persons beliefs as you grow accustomed to it. So even though slavery had been abolished the White Americans still though they were superior and deny the African Americans their right they had of being free. The person she encountered was an example of her slave holding theory, which makes me believe that "when one lives in such of an environment where everyone believes in one exact idea, that one person will eventually and is most likely to connect that one idea  for the rest of their life".

A primary source is able to give an account in the eyes of an actual person who witnessed the event and moment while a reporter is more of a sum it all up person basing their story or report on numerous accounts primary or secondary sources. Just as the reporter can only see it from the outside of a community report, but a primary source is able to give it in the exact eyes that he saw the event happen.



Community Stories : To Be Young Black and Gifted

Hansberry felt sad or dull to me in her account about growing up in the South Side of Chicago  I feel she understand with some disappointment what must be done in the neighborhood, knowing her place in a poor community. Hansberry saw the community still managed to strive due to the fact that it was a community that looked after each other. Although she described that there was no direct love shown between their family. Lorraine describes her father a a proud a strong black man for she say he lays on his back like father must and she said he "carried his head in  such a way... there was nothing he was afraid of". The sort of self taught virtues Lorraine learned form her parents made her strong  and proud of who she is, "young black and gifted". As the youngest on her family she felt she was always a nuisance  and her sibling didn't enjoy her company so she learned to play alone, like most children there do. The views of Hansberry are in a way dead because she ends it with the Langston Hughes poem about a dream deferred or a dead dream. Describing what happens after it dies  and how he doesn't know what to do just like the people of the South Chicago.

Response to the Crucible

As I have finished the play I have come to realize the absurdity to the accusations and confusion caused by the idea of witchcraft. During the story as it progresses intensifying the suspicion the thing that most stood out to me was Giles final act.  Giles Corey who had charges upon him that he wished to not see the consequence, so he did not plead guilty or not guilty to better serve his family. Giles took the weight of grand rocks, that killed him, to leave his property off with his sons and putting a halt to the court as it was just a room where more accusations and confessions made to save ones soul. This act of bravery by Giles comes to show that he did not wish to yield to more nonsense so he decided to take it with him. This reminds me of a minor incident when my classmates made a mess, and were contained by the teacher to find out who it was. This was cutting into out gym time that was very appreciated, so, because no one knew who did it, a peer volunteered to pick it up to get it over with, he helped our class go to gym faster, avoiding trouble but with no one really blamed for it. Nor did it ever come up again but was just a form of bravery that Giles and my classmate took. The crucible really struck me hard as it told how all the mayhem that occurred during that period of time, it amazed me how life was that different and also gave me a good idea how the Puritans lived in Salem, Massachusetts.

Response to Act III

During Act III the one scene that stood out to me the most was in the beginning as Giles says he only said his wife was reading books, and now is being accused of witchcraft. This incident reminds me of media and stories in Hollywood or in many other cases. It's when you take ones information using it to develop it into new information or use it misleadingly. This situation happens a lot for instance, the phone commercial with Dwayne Wade (NBA basketball star) whom is locked inside a room. With his fancy phone he videos himself saying "GET ME OUTTA HERE". Wade videoed this to get out of the locked room, hoping someone would free him. The entire U.S. took the message as he wanted to leave his team. Media announcing his wanting of leaving his current team went on , and fans from other teams grew eager and announced "we want Wade, We want Wade!". This is one case where ones words are misinterpreted or used to mislead. When things like this happens it get me mad because it is not right to announce false information when you do not know the whole story, in other words don't make up stories from what you barely know.

Response to act II in the crucible

As i read act II, I came to the conclusion that it's theme is corruptness. As the play continues, everyone is accusing one another to get back at one. This finger pointing and vengeance reminds me of my neighborhood. Gang members are always on the revengeful side. When one of their "crew" die, killed by opposing gangs, they want to get back, when they do, its the same story on the other side. This turns to the vengeance cycle and never ends  with death after death. The crucible has really shown me the evil side of people, this evil side the people of Salem call devilwork and witchcraft.
