Rita Mae Brown

various scenes can be found throughout most of Quentin Tarantino’s films (a director of whom I took the most inspiration from). A notable mention of Tarantino’s most memorable ‘musical moments’ can be found at the beginning of his 1998 film Jackie Brown, where, as the titular character walks around an airport, has Bobby womack’s “Across 110th street” playing simultaneously. Arguably, one of the most popularised scene in a Tarantino film that incorporates music is in Pulp Fiction, where two…

Harriet Tubman is being honored with an award for her bravery. She showed her bravery in the Civil War and when she helped with The Underground Railroad. Harriet showed that she was very brave when she was a spy for the Union in the Civil War. Before she was a spy for the Union she was a slave who escaped. Then she came back to where her family was and helped them escape. She was also known as the best “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. When she helped her family escape she realized that…

While reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass, it immediately becomes clear to the reader that it is much more than an autobiographical account of his experience as a slave; it is also a strong argument against slavery. Frederick Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland in 1818, an era of strong racial prejudices and widespread acceptance of slavery, especially in the southern United States. Due to this, he was enslaved from the day he was born until he was able…

In the preface, William Lloyd Garrison (a famous abolitionist) criticized the institution of slavery. He does this by including the anti-slavery words of separate parties involved in the controversy of slavery. For example, take the perspective of the audience at the talk. When Garrison speaks to them, he mentions the peril that Frederick Douglass, a man who has more than proven that he is of good nature, faced during his time as a slave, even in the North. He goes on to ask a simple question -…

The Significance of Literacy within Slavery "You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man" (Douglass 65). In his autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass discusses his experiences as a slave and how he uses education in his journey to become a free man. Throughout his autobiography, Douglass uses logical appeals showing why literacy was withheld from slaves, emotional appeals illustrating how slavery corrupted his…

In two of Whitman 's poems - 'Virginia - The West ' and 'The Centenarian 's Tale ' - he deviates from his established perspective in the collection, in which "his war scenes could be anywhere, North or South; his heroes are the masses of ordinary soldiers" through presenting the dominant figure of George Washington as central. This approach is one utilised by Melville throughout his own collection of Civil War poetry, as the majority of his poems focus on the factual and historical narratives…

Jones” captivated me. I found myself rooting for him to figure things before it was too late. I enjoyed the book so much, I finished it in about 3 days. The next time I went home to visit, I borrowed my dad’s copy of Angels and Demons, another Dan Brown book featuring the famous symbologist and Harvard professor. I read that books over the course of about 4 days. 1,169 pages in 7 days total. That was definitely more pages than I’d read in my lifetime. Since then, I’ve also read Inferno,…

It was a very cold but normal December day, everyone in town was doing what they usually do, take kids to school, go to work, get coffee and visit one another. Henry Dunkin was an ordinary 13 year old boy who was tall with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He was very liked by the citizens in the town so you wouldn’t expect anyone to harm him, right? Two weeks ago on a Tuesday, this was a day like any other, the sun was shining and there was a chilly breeze just off the east coast. In the bakery up…

It is a spin-off of Family Guy. The series centers on dysfunctional family consisting of Cleveland Brown, Donna Tubbs, and their children Cleveland Brown Jr, Roberta Tubbs and Rallo Tubbs. This show is about an African family and how to be a step parent. I think this show is marketing African families. The minority group for this show is fourteen and up. Some people would not…
