be encouraged by those who stand up for themselves. The theme I have chosen to analyse is ‘how racism motivates people to not give up.’ Texts that show this theme are Caught in the Crossfire by Alan Gibbons, 12 Years a Slave the autobiography by Solomon Northup, the film, Nelson Mandela: Walk to Freedom directed by Justin Chadwick and the poem The Negro Mother written by Langston Hughes. The novel Caught in the Crossfire is set after the 9/11 tragedy. British whites in Oakfield were persuaded…

and 11 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is not done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant (The Holy Bible). Much like King Solomon when he was disloyal to God,…

their first year' (Solomon, 2001) but she did not explain what the research was or how it was conducted. As the article continues it elaborates on the different aspects in which toddlers would begin to identify with or without their gender by different things the parents do such as the way they dress, act, and even speak. A lot of the things that the parents feel that it is not either lady-like or even manly-like can be easily misguided for a toddler throughout these years (Solomon, 2001).…

any regard to their rights. This is seen at the beginning of the film when our main character, Solomon Northup, is drugged and taken away from his family, only to be taken to the South where he would be auction as a slave. The hardships and assaults that a slave would face after being taken to the South are not spared by the camera. Patsey, an enslaved African-American slave in the same plantations Solomon, is assaulted by her master and physically abused by his wife. By incluiding these scenes…

Social work community day has taught me a lot about elderly abuse. I always knew that elder abuse existed, but I did not know that there were six types of elderly abuse to look out for. What I learned during social work community day is that the elderly population is growing and in the next few years there will be a lot more elders than there is now. This means more jobs for social workers and a lot more nursing homes. The six different types of elderly abuse from what I learned on social work…

Clarity is used to engage employees and hold them accountable (Thimothy, Solomon). Clarity can become fuzzy when people have different perspectives. A way to solve this is to have the employee perform a task or expectation to make sure it is done the way you intended. This way there is no miscommunication between you…

The instance Robert’s murder on the steamboat to Louisiana in Steve McQueen’s film drastically departs from what Solomon Northup describes in his narrative. McQueen chooses to highlight the brutality of slavery over out the economic considerations surrounding the enslaved’s bodies in doing so.McQueen chooses to include visceral scenes in his film eschewing the less provocative economic considerations in Solomon’s narrative. The film 12 Years a Slave fails to fully interact with the economics of…

The purpose of product placement was to get better ways of doing advertisement on television shows and movies.

In Latin,“intertextus”, means to intermingle while weaving serves as the root for the word “intertextuality” which was introduced in the late 1960s and thoroughly used in novels written by Toni Morrison.

The definition of consent is to give permission to allow something to happen or an agreement to do something. Who has the right to give that consent is an issue that continues to happen, even over the case of abortion. Across the country today, there are millions of babies being aborted each year that were conceived from rape, incest, and unprotected sexual intercourse. It was the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case, that the court decided the right to privacy under the due process clause of the…
