Episodic Pull Analysis

Spiral
Concept
To me, the concept works very well. I like the fact that the main character is more that what she seems to be, and since she is going to move to new places, I can see it going for multiple seasons. Characters I like the twist that Carrie turns out to be a murder. Her violent past is what makes her interesting. I am not sure how do the Javier and Twitch’s characters affect the plot of the stalker. Are the audience going to suspect them as the stalkers at one point? The World
Like the characters, the world is not what it seems to be. It’s a interesting contrast between the idea of Oklahoma being boring and Carrie’s violent past in Oklahoma.

Characters
I like the fact that there are some diversities in racial representations. Man of God sounds really interesting, and I like to know more about him. I notice that Sam has two daughters, but only Becca is the important character. I would like to know more about her sister. The World
The small town setting in the 80s is really interesting. It is great to the religious tension and racial tension specific to that time period. Episodic Pull
The episodic pulls in the show are about the cult. I think the fact that the church answers to the government has the potential to expand into another season. Also, Becca’s ability to be possessed would be something keeps me watching.
What could be stronger, different or better in some way? I like the fact that the protagonist is African American, but I do see some underlying problems with having an African American character practices pseudo science on other people. I think that it questions the legitimacy of our main character’s ability to practice medical science while he happens to be an African American. Some people may see it as a racial stereotype.

    However in this case, race plays a dramatic part in person’s life. No matter what someone’s race he/she could be, there are different treatments for different race. In the past, racism was a visible conflict but now in days people tend to be more on the secretive side depending on the person. Blacks weren’t well educated back in the day so they believed anything that was being told by a white doctor so in other words they were well manipulated and couldn’t do a single thing about it. As blacks were being used they couldn’t fight back and they were always look down upon others.…

    I look forward to reading it again in the future because I think that it has so much to offer and I think that it will speak to me in different ways at different times. Every time I turned the page I had my highlighter in hand and was just so fascinated by the words that Taylor had wrote, so many things hit home for me, and there is pink highlighter all over in the book. I kept thinking of people I knew, who would really love this book, or who would really have their eyes opened with this book. I think I really can associate myself as a reflective Christian now, and reading this helped affirm questions and ideas I had about other Christians or subcultures. I really enjoyed Taylors interludes about the character Alex, and how it showed examples of different Christians and it gave you a little break from what the book was actually talking about.…

    One includes a story of “white” doctors that snatch “black” people off the street to conduct medical experiments on them. Their fears weren’t that far off. Doctors, such as Lacks doctors, did not tell always tell their patients what they were doing or give their reasonings for doing it. Henrietta’s doctors didn’t tell her that they took tissue samples from her body. When her family was summoned by doctors for DNA samples, they were not told why they were giving samples to the doctors.…

    Growing up in a private school, not going to lie, I have never been the person to feel out of place. I have always had my same friends and we always seemed to be the “cool ones,” as some people would say. Although I have never felt this type of pain I have certainly seen it. My eyes have witnessed racial discrimination plenty of times. In Sayed Kashua novel “Second Person Singular,” he used the main characters, Amir and the lawyer, to demonstrate how they can be a part of the Israeli community but still keep their Arab culture and traditions; just as a black would do entering a white society.…

    However, how and why it took place when it did must be closely analyzed to determine why it was unethical and to prevent it from reoccurring in the future. According to Allan M. Brandt, the study “revealed more about the pathology of racism than it did about the pathology of syphilis; more about the nature of scientific enquiry than the nature of the disease process.” At the time when the study began, racism was still very prominent throughout the United States, especially in the South. As such, the fact that doctors believed black people to be different and react in a dissimilar fashion to diseases in comparison to white people did not create uproar; instead, it was widely accepted in the medical sector. However, the ethical issues concerning this case go far and beyond the racist nature of the population at the time.…
