The Bucket List

Their Eyes Were Watching God By Zora Neale Hurston
the movie showed a young girl in the quest to finding herself. Similar to the awakening the main character was older before she found who she was. I want to read this book because of the changes and things left out of the movie

Go Tell It on the Mountain  By James Baldwin

Push By Sapphire
this was adapted into the film precious. it showed the tragic life of a girl. This book is said to be way more graphic than the movie. Kind of scary but worth a read.

Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
This is a stunning tale of self-discovery that follows the lives of a black family living in Michigan.
 The majority of the narrative revolves around Milkman, the first black child born at Mercy Hospital, and the son of a prominant and wealthy businessman. after reading reviews i believe this would be good book to read about. Toni Morrison is very poetic so t might be easier to read.

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J Gaines
The reader is given a unique outlook on the status of African Americans in the South, after World War II and before the Civil Rights Movement. Indeed, we see a Jim Crow South through the eyes of a formally educated African American teacher who often feels helpless and alienated from his own country.

Paradise By Toni Morrison
The novel tells the story of the tension between the men of Ruby, Oklahoma and a group of women who lived in a former covent seventeen miles away. I think its different kind of book because their in a convent but I think it stille would be good

The Bluest Eye by toni morrison
 The story is about a year in the life of a young black girl, named Pecola, who develops an inferiority complex due to her eye and skin appearance in Lorain, Ohio, against the backdrop of americas Midwest as well as in the years following the Great Depression

An Analysis of Liberals aren’t funny, they’re a riot by: Ann Coulter

Coulter displays a tone of a rather critical and outrage person.  Through her use of tone she attacks and provokes liberals with a bias message of disguise of the liberals. Coulter starts the column off by acknowledging violence erupting in the world and also “researching” about mobs. “Thanks, you dirty animals. I knew you wouldn’t let me down”. Coulter uses a subliminal message to attack liberals. Without going in depth into the column Coulter already utilizes her critical nature to reel in the readers.  “And as long as there liberals, there will be people stoking the mob”. Coulter’s provocative opinion distributes a clear look for what the essay will surround. Coulter asked “Why were blacks and Hispanics gang members looting after the Rodney King verdict?” She also proceeds to use evidence from gang member who said “they didn’t know or care about Rodney King’s verdict”. Coulter describes that in a sense there was no reasoning behind the rioting. Coulter expresses her opinion again about liberals by saying “Liberals love mobs because rioting and anarchy is their path to power.” Coulter throughout the column blames liberals for the rioting. Ann Coulter reveals a hateful and obnoxious tone toward liberals because in her opinion rioting is liberal’s bread and butter towards power. The title of the column is “Liberals aren’t funny, they’re a Riot” brings forth the theme of the column which is liberals roles in rioting.

Advertisment Analyze

As a group we analyzed http://adflip.com/addetails.php?adID=14404 which consited of joe rogan(from fear factor) inside of a tank of chocolate milk. By looking at the ad, we know that he's famous. So i think there using his fame to get more people to drink chocolate milk. He is scarred of runnning out milk almost like he cant live with out it. Joe Rogan shows an intimidating look almost cocky towards us as the viewers. The ads audience would be his fans from fear factor and ufc. Mainly guys from the age 13-23. The purpose to make people agnolage how delishis chocolate milk is. Focuses on the theme of fear factor. The message would be there is no life with out chocolate milk.

Fear is monster that lurks in the dark

Fear is a monster that lurks in the dark
That attacks your mind
and blinds your eyes
and is always with you-always

and frightens your aspirations
and blocks your creativity
That could make your dreams real
That keep many of us asleep

I see it in many followers
but not as many leaders
yet many of us fear the monster
but few the monster fears

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TRUTH?

Does it get forgotten
like a person with amnesia
or brung fourth like a lie detector
but then what?
Do we lie to cover the honesty of our conscious
or subcome to the temptations of lie

Do we fear the truth
or hope the lie to be true?

Ismene(Stereotypic Woman)

                                A man’s dream is to have a woman to completely do what he says. From cooking, to taking care of the kids for him. Basically, do what sexist call woman’s work. Its a man’s world, we just live in it. Woman are just a small factor in life for many men in Ismene’s era. Men are the rulers we are just here to obey them, which seems unfair, but how can women stop it? So women like Antigone are strong and willing to fight those men, but women like Ismene are not so willing to stand up to men. Nowadays women have more of a voice than they use to. A rare woman is a woman who excepts sexist views. But in Ismene’s time she was as common as they get. In her time she was only a woman, so how could she ever stand up to a man?

                                Ismene is the complete opposite of Antigone. At times its almost as if she “excepts defeat” because she is a woman. “ Consider that we were born women, proving we should not fight with men”. Ismene just stated that because she is a woman, she can’t stand up to men. She proves a sexist man right that woman are weaker. At times, Ismene seems as if she’s the voice of reason when in all she is afraid of what the outcome holds for her and Antigone. Compared to Antigone,she is a rather cowardly individual. It’s okay to be scared but that's no reason to use your gender as a crutch for you not to do something. Ismene’s real flaw is that she has sub come to societies views on women. Which are that they are weak and unable to fight. Ismene’s willingness to obey is what really holds her back in Antigone’s time of need.  

                                 In Ismene’s case, she constantly uses excuses for every daring thing. She always does what she’s told, never dreaming of doing something rebellious. Making her sound weak compared to Antigone. Ismene at first defines the weakness of women by doing nothing.  Family is family and you should makes some sacrifices for family. But I think some of Antigone has rubbed off on Ismene.

                                 Soon Ismene started to gain somewhat of a voice. She wanted to share the punishment Antigone was given. I think after all that struggle Ismene finally realized she had voice after all. She’s no longer an nice girl anymore. Ismene began to have a fight in her that, in the beginning, she could have never found. Something clicked to make Ismene change so abruptly. At first, it was hard to imagine Ismene taking a  stand after all the excuses she proposed.  

                                 Ismene was a stereotypical girl at first, but then she slowly turned into a strong woman. The cowardliness no longer controlled her. She found the inner braveness.
