The Godfather

Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family. As the pages of my favorite childhood story flutter through my fingers, memories of fantastical worlds flood my mind. I begin to read aloud about the four children, sent away to a mysterious house and the wardrobe that transports them to a magical new land. The tale is just as enchanting as I recall, but this time through the story, the magic…

to integrate and tone down radical claims into the Hollywood moneymaking machine and myth factory. The Blaxploitation will know a lot of triumph but the production of these movies will decrease after 1975. The emergence of Blockbusters like The Godfather (1972), Jaws (1975) or Rocky (1975) will compete with these movies. Finally, the creation of the Coalition against Blaxploitation will knock down the production of theses…

Millions of dollars were spent on luxury homes, private jets, ranches, and even historical artifacts (Drug). In 1984, Pablo Escobar was named the seventh richest man in the world (Gangster). Pablo even had his own zoo on one of his estates. It was complete with elephants, buffaloes, lions, rhinos, gazelles, hippos, camels, ostriches, and a herd of zebras. Pablo was also known for his immature, frivolous spending. He would have beauty queens to come and entertain some of his closest friends. He…

are seen as weak and are easily manipulated. Hamlet by William Shakespeare is sometimes considered the best work of art in all of human history. Hamlet is male centric, there is no argument there. Some other famous movies are male centric; The Godfather by Mario Puzo, Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, or even The Boondocks Saints by Troy Duffy. There may be a select group of people who decide not to watch these blockbuster films due to their male centric attitudes, but it does not…

When I first found out about Japanese culture I fell in love with it deeply, it made me feel like a child on its first game system. But there is one question about the assumption of it and that question is “Should the amount of american assumption be considered Cultural Appropriation?”No! American consumption of anime should be more of a cultural exchange instead. I believe that Anime/Manga is made for everyone starting with the very creation of Astro Boy.(The First Anime ever released in…

Moreover, go-go in the late ninety-sixty’s formation (and the Chuck Brown, the Godfather of go-go music contributions) as the uprising in D.C. occurred allowed people to express themselves while dancing, doing call and response, and going along with the musicians upon a terrible situation occurring in the backdrop (Hopkinson). Which…

It sucks to lose the most important game in your high school career in a complete blowout. It sucks so bad knowing you put so much work in practice just to lose ten to zero. It sucks how you were so hyped and so confident that you actually had a chance. I hate losing, I always wanna win. Who doesn’t hate to lose? I don’t play to have fun: I play to win. This game still haunts and gets me sad until this day. I don’t know why, but the flashback always manages to get me sad when I start thinking…

Another fear is that of harassment by their employers and being underpaid as compared to other employees who are working in the same positions. Another attitude is that they fear being demoralized or being intimidated by their employers, and even being used wrongly. Some of the enlightened African…
