The House I Live In was an amazing documentary. I was saddened to hear Nannie’s story and the stories of others that I witnessed in the film. I was blown away by how much the war on drugs is really a war on blacks more than anything else. It disgusted me to see the stereotyping of blacks by police officers under the guise of "probable cause." The police aren’t about doing real police work‚ only placing cuffs on blacks and low-income civilians and sending them to jail. It’s mind blowing to me how

Madness and Death The play Hamlet was written in the 1600’s. It is a very renowned play and is still read by millions each year. William Shakespeare is a famous writer and a lot of his work is still around today. I believe that Hamlet is his best piece. It is written in Old English‚ which is hard to understand because it is very different from how we speak and write today. The Old English style of writing makes it more authentic in the sense that you can take the words from the play and relate

Someone could say I have reality to face‚ but without dreams we have no hope‚ and without hope we have nothing inside of us to fuel our deep passion to succeed and win the race that we have been running.
