    Many people see the words “Civil Rights Movement” and automatically think of the bus boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Ku Klux Klan. However, the movement was much more than that. In the book At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance- A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power by Danielle L. McGuire, the author shows us some of what was happening in the lesser known parts of the movement focusing on how sexual violence against both women and men played a big part in the Civil Rights Movement. The book starts at nearly the beginning of the movement (1940s) and spans throughout the whole movement, seeming to mainly focus on the rape case of one Recy Taylor in 1944, as the book begins and ends with the story of Mrs. Taylor.…

    I chose to read and analyze the poem titled “For the Sleepwalkers” written by Edward Hirsch and the poem conveyed a theme of recognition in the sense of gratitude towards individuals who can have confidence in themselves. The speaker is conveying a sense of gratitude towards those who can follow through with something without being aware of the direct outcome, they choose to live their lives according to adventure and not let their mind and irrational fears hinder their experiences in which they endure. They can live a dual life where they accomplish their responsibilities without depriving them of the qualities of life. In today’s society, a great deal of people often spend so much of their time trying to survive, that they forget to live.…

    As I read through the chapter, I came across several interesting sections I was likely to chose, but I was able to narrow it down to one. The section that really caught my attention was the section labeled ‘The Mere Presence of Others’ p.267. This section covers the term Social Facilitation which I found to be very true and relatable. The book states that Social Facilitation is the response of strengthening your performance when in the presence of others. It is basically saying that we try harder at doing something when there is people watching us.…

    Stranger on the Third Floor is a dark movie that does have some humor to lighten it up. It focuses on the justice system and how people sacrifice their integrity for material things. It was not a typical "court room" movie where the camera just films the concentrated faces of the jury, the worrisome face of the accused, and the determined faces of the lawyer and attorney. A dream sequence is used to portray the guild of Ward, a young lawyer, who wrongly sent somebody to the chair. In this dream, he was the one that was wrongly accused of murder and sent to the chair.…

Munro presents the “character vs. self” conflict as the most significant. This is because it affected the inciting incident, rising action of the story, and climax.

    The Perfect Guy is a romantic thriller about a woman named Leah, Played by Sanaa Lathan, an L.A. based lobbyist who seems to have it all: brains, looks, power, a beautiful home and a longtime boyfriend. This would all be cut short after Leah finds that her boyfriend is not ready to start a family and later finding herself in the company of another man who she thinks is “The Perfect Guy.” Although this movie had some good components such as Leah being a successful, independent, black woman and Carter exemplifying the role of prince charming, it was too predictable. I would say about twenty minutes into the movie one could have fallen asleep, woke up, and still be able to tell you what happened.…
