cared for by White doctors, the hospital was forced to hire more black doctors. This may not be the most effective way to enfranchise the Black community, but Long putting in any effort, especially in the time period of the film, is remarkable for a southern politician. Even though Long wanted to help the Black community on a much larger scale with legislation and policies such as a voting rights bill, he recognized that progress is slow. Long acknowledged that if he were to go all in on programs that would cause large scale black enfranchisement he would lose all power and influence he has over governance, so conceding that he still does all he can, including starting a “scandal,” because he truly does care about the issue. Finally, Primary Colors (1998), being the film with the most scandal, controversy, and arguably the most flawed candidate out of the total four, ironically and yet naturally is the film that shows the main character, Jack Stanton, to be the most decent kind of person at times. With the hiring of a new campaign adviser that is the grandson of a great civil rights leader, Stanton right away shows the kind of leadership he wants in the campaign, despite all his shortcomings and flawed behaviors. One of the most poignant scenes in the film that demonstrate Jack Stanton’s deep down decency and compassion for the electorate, despite all of his scandals, is actually one of the very first scenes in the film. Stanton is meeting with a group of adults who are…

Her first month at her new high school was finally almost over and all Lauren wanted to do was go home and sleep. The past month had been a rapid mix of cheer practice, school, homework, and socializing with little time for sleep. Now thinking of how she wouldn't be able to sleep until after a long night of flips, spins, tosses, and cheering is over, she continued down the hallway towards the roar of students chattering at the lunch tables.

At the time I was a poor college student looking for a place to stay with my friends. We found an apartment for cheap. The rent was split equally between the four of us with one person just paying sixty dollars a month.In the apartment, there were plenty of windows that should light up the apartment nicely but despite that the house was still dim. None of us would have imagined that it was haunted. Often at night, we'd hear something that sound like footsteps but thought nothing of it as might…

Diablo As Victoria and I sat on the plush sofa in our atrium, studying for a particularly difficult math test that was to take place the next day, I glanced out of the glass doors in front of us, at the fog covered lake and clustered vegetation that circled our cement patio. By chance I happened to spot a milky colored patch of fur moving along the jungle within our back porch. I leaned forward to get a better look at this mysterious animal. “Lilli!” Victoria barked, as she tried to get me to…

She stared into the abyss as her lip quivered with terror. She sits huddled in a corner, covered head to toe in blood.

As he walked down the ward corridor, he stopped to look into Cell# 977. The first thing he saw was a pair of familiar eyes. It was Karsyn, his wife. Since her incarceration 20 years ago, naturally she’s reverted to her…

In fact, as an English teacher, I would venture so far as to say that, on the rare occasion, good grammar can be, not just NOT genocidal, but actually life-saving. Good grammar is, after all, the fastest, simplest way to ensure clarity of communication. If we all follow a standard set of rules, then everyone who uses the language can be assured of comprehensibility. Let’s put it another way; one that’s really, really geeky. Back when I was in elementary school, we all learned this computer…

the lake was and how so many fish could live in it. They continued driving down an old dirt alleyway and the excitement started to flood in Shirley because at this point she knew grandma and grandpa’s wooden tavern was right around the corner. Shirley and her family flooded out of the car as fast as they could and Shirley ran up to the burn barrels sitting outside the tavern door and took a big whiff of the smell. Shirley loved the smell of the garbage burning and couldn’t get enough. Soon…
