    Finding Forrester

    I felt the charter of William Forrester was more of a Father figure to Jamal than anything else, though he did help Jamal grow in his writing. Professor Crawford is shown as an unfair teacher that wants other to suffer because of his own difficulty to publish a book. He picks on Jamal especially because he is a black student from the Bronx and "just another basketball player." Ms. Joyce was Jamal's teacher at the public school that first realized Jamal's potential and is portrayed as a teacher working hard to help her students.…

    Hines summary

    In “What’s in a Package,” Thomas Hine presents a series of claims that inform the reader as to why manufacturers package products the way they do. His first paragraphs encourage readers to imagine themselves pushing a shopping cart, and state that within “the thirty minutes you spend on an average trip to the supermarket, about thirty thousand different products vie to win your attention.” He breaks it down further to help the readers understand: thirty thousand products in thirty minutes is equal to one thousand per minute. Thomas Hine explores the active relationship between a package and its meaningful cycle in society as we know it.…

    Finding Forrester

    Race is a huge issue in the film and many stereotypes are made. Jamal Wallace is introduced in the film as a typical black teenage male who goes to a low class school in the Bronx and really excels on the court as a basketball player. Not too many people thought of him as being anything more than that, due to the fact that Jamal makes mediocre grades in his school in the Bronx, he does just enough to get by and to maintain a "C" average. Jamal did not push himself any harder in the classroom than he needed to. Jamal's passion is writing, you gather this information early in the film due to stacks of books and things that are shown collecting on his desk at home. His mother states " I always see him writing in those Journal's of his."…

    The Man That Went to Chicago

    Wright combines argument and narration throughout this short story and he speaks about self-hatred that blacks have. This was a touching part of the story because it shows how someone can hate you passionately. Then you realize how much so many people hate you and treat you so badly that you begin to hate your own self. The narrator has a dream, "like any other American of going into business and making money" (889) he knows that this dream is impossible with so many white people that would do anything to keep a black person from living a dream or seeing them happy.…
