The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay is a documentary about the direct and indirect slavery of African Americans ever since the first African was taken away from his or her home land in the seventeenth century. The title, “13th”, refers to the 13th amendment which was supposedly passed to abolish slavery and the 150 years of unfair treatment that occurred even after that amendment was ratified. This documentary’s purpose is to showcase all the unacceptable events that blacks have been through for the past hundreds of years and to emphasize that all lives matter including those of people of color. 13th displays how unfair treatment evolved from slavery to unnecessary imprisonment to segregation to being seen as a threat by the community.…
My advice to makayla is to never get stuck on one question no longer than five minutes. It's okay to skip a question and come back to it later once you have answer all of the other questions. It's also okay to guess intelligently on some of the questions. I feel that you shouldn't always linger on the same questions, because that can cause you to loose most of you time on the test. John When writing I think John should just write everything out first step-by-step.…

Discovering the Music of Protest There is perhaps no epidemic in America worse then the racism and discrimination black people have face since the creation of this “free” nation. A shameful secret that the American government still barely acknowledged but a very real problem that has only grown with time with police murdering innocent black men, women and children, and the more recent event of having a raging racist elected as the USA’s new president. That is why I have decided to write my essay on “Strange Fruit” by Abel Meeropol performed most famously by Billie Holiday. “Strange Fruit” is perhaps the most iconic protest song in recent memory. With a haunting piano intro followed by Billie Holiday’s shaking voice this song shot to fame being nominated for a bevy of awards, and for good reason, it lingers in your mind the lyrics and it pulls no punches, telling the story of those who died these painful deaths without the rose coloured glasses historians like describe it as.…
The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…

When somebody says the world “alien” what do you think of? Do you think of something foreign such as an illegal alien, someone who has entered a country or land without permission from the governing body? Or do you think of an extra-terrestrial being, such as an intelligent lifeform from space? As of right now, the only aliens we know about, are ourselves. We have set foot on the Moon, and we’ve sent probes to almost every planet in our system.…

Also with overpopulation, means that we will also use up all of our natural resources.…
