    The book “Little brother” by Cory Doctrow is the story and realization of the vulnerabilities all of us in modern society have. we’re all connected through our computers, tablets to phones. we store valuable information yet we don’t protect that information, we’re subjected to allowing corporations and governments in on our personal electronic lives, from that this book was written to evaluate.

Instead of having dark brown features like most of the citizens of Tanzania, he was born with light eyes, yellow hair, and even white skin; which surprisingly makes him even stand out among the white tourists that frequently visit the country.…

    Gaslight, By Theodore Dorpat

    The word Gaslight or the action the action of gaslighting does not just mean the light produced by the combustion or burning of some form of illuminating gas or fuel, Gas lighting is a lot more than that, according to Theodore Dorpat’s book “On the double whammy and gas lighting”, Gas lighting is: A form of mental abuse in which information is twisted/spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity. (Dorpat 91) Gas lighting as a form of mental abuse can easily be seen in the 1944 film Gaslight, where by the deranged, antagonistic, sociopath, murderer and thief of a husband Gregory Anton makes or creates events like, the diming…

    Blues For Mister Charlie By James Baldwin

    The title of the play is called “Blues For Mister Charlie.” James Baldwin gives this play this title because he is leaving a message to the readers and that message can be interpreted in different ways. How I interpret the title is that I think Mister Charlie is referring to the white folks in white town. Blues is a type of music that black American uses as a way to express their feeling and emotions that can’t be expressed through words. The emotions of sadness, melancholy, and depression that African American are feeling can only be express through the Blue style of music.…
