A typical jury is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether a person is guilty or not guilty of what they are charged. We were not a typical jury. Instead of deciding whether or not Oj Simpson is guilty or Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman’s deaths, we decided if he is responsible for the deaths. This changes the dynamic of our jury and the topics that will be discussed. The jurors in our jury had very distinct characteristics. For example, the Leader guided the discussion in a…

The reality of OJ Simpson’s Trial Present to Mr. Hyatt Presented by Aiyana Barnes O.J. Simpson was convicted of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. There are three crucial factors with the evidence against him. First, the L.A.P.D. has been proven corrupt and racially biased.

While I agree that documentary television was considered less aesthetically inclined during the early 2000s, I’d argue that recent television documentaries, like O.J.: Made in America, have reversed what Corner is suggesting. Edelman often allows the aural contents of the narrative to take the lead in parts of…

Dedicated, courageous, determined, fearless, patriotic, these are just a few of the words used to describe the Tuskegee Airmen over the years. The Tuskegee Airmen were a prestigious group of African-American men determined to go above and beyond their call to duty to change racism in the United States military. These heroic men were faced with racism and adversity at every corner; nevertheless, they stayed true to their cause and fought until the very end for a noble cause dear to their hearts.…

Song of Myself “Song of Myself”, which is famous for “representing the core of Whitmans poetic vision” (Greenspan) was written in 1881 by Walt Whitman. This poem is baffling to many people because of both the symbolism and wordplay. Walt Whitman begins by introducing the subject in the poem, which is himself and he goes on by celebrating this theme.
