Granddad's Fight

community and reinforce stereotypes (Rockler, 2002 p. 409). Instances of these misinterpretations are found throughout multiple episodes of The Boondocks and Black Dynamite. For instance, in The Boondocks episode, “Granddad’s Fight,” written by Aaron McGruder and Rodney Barnes the theme of the episode is that “nigga moments” end badly. Throughout the episode Robert J. Freeman prepares to fight Colonel H. Stinkmeaner, a blind old man, since Stinkmeaner made Robert look like a fool by beating him up in a parking lot. Huey, Robert’s grandson, trains Robert since Huey believes that Stinkmeaner is a blind swordsman, but in the end, Huey realizes he was wrong. However, Huey was too late and was unable to talk his granddad, Robert, out of fighting Stinkmeaner resulting in Stinkmeaner’s death, which leads to the overall theme that “nigga moments” end badly (2005). The overall message McGruder and Barnes are trying to make in this episode is that the African American community needs to stop living up to their stereotypes and realize the way they represent their culture when they perform these actions. Throughout this episode, multiple scenes of the authors’ purpose are shown such as Huey continuously trying to convince his grandfather, Robert, from going along with the fight, but is not able to. Instead, Robert allows his hatred and anger to get the best of him ending in Stinkmeaner’s death. Another example, of McGruder and Barnes providing evidence of this theme is before the last…

Comes up to the missionary saying that “he would not do any harm to him if he were to just go back to his house and leave us alone… but this shrine which he built must be destroyed. We shall no longer allow it in our midst. I t has bred untold abominations and we have to come to put an end to it.” (Achebe, 176) This is showing that the people judged and disliked the white men pretty much because of the past and what has happened. In though Mr. Brown seem to start to build some…

Think about this, you would have two lives to live as a completely different person. You would have to keep up good grades, make some money to live on, support your family in one life, then save people, fight crime, and kill villains in the other life. It would be way to overwhelming for me.      To fight crime, Peter needs a costume and a mask of some sort to hide his identity. He is a pretty good artist and draws his costume that he wants. Since Peter doesn’t have much…

of the world, such as the Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, and Japan; and the Allied Powers: France, Britain, and Russia. On December 7, 1941, America would join the Allies after Japan attacked Hawaii’s coast at Pearl Harbor, Oahu. The war was a terrible fight; however, the fight wasn’t just fought on land, air, or water. There was a more subtle fight being fought by the Axis and Allied government’s movie makers and poster designers. These men and women played an important role in drawing up…

less';(1.1.100-101). Out of pride and anger, Lear banishes Cordelia and splits the kingdom in half to the two evil sisters, Goneril and Regan. This tragic flaw prevents King Lear from seeing the truth because his arrogance overrides his judgement. Lear’s arrogance also causes him to lose his most faithful servant, Kent.

After the Dragon is defeated he asks that all the spoils go to all those in the kingdom so that could prosper. Destroying the presence of evil in the kingdom of Heorot was an exceptional feet, but what makes Beowulf stand out is his purpose. He fought, neither for the glory nor riches, but for the sake of the people. This quality alone…

Beware of the Creek BY: DANIELLE OLIVIERI My grip on the rocks began to weaken and I felt myself slowly slipping closer into the creek. Those moments could have been my last. But luckily, I was able to make it of that situation. Why don’t we rewind the story a little bit to find out how this happened. Shall we? About four years ago when I was eight, my family and I were up in a small town near Lake Tahoe called Strawberry, for winter break. We wanted to go somewhere in the snow for the…
