    Kodiak is one of seven communities on the main Island of Kodiak Island, Alaska. All commercial transportation between the entire island goes through either ferryboat or airline. The main thing that people do there is go fishing whenever they can, and wherever they can.

    Today I am pitching the latest movie that I have written so that I may convince you that it will be a box office success. My latest film is titled Kill Bill and it is a combination of the martial arts, thriller, and action genres.

Four years later, the protagonist awakes from her coma and embarks on a journey of revenge, in which she targets each of the assassins who attempted to kill her.

    Imagine leaving your house and never returning back. Imagine being assaulted and killed by neighborhood watch, in an unfamiliar area to you. Is that how the gated communities keep down the crime? Killing young innocent teenagers, does that set the tone for any future crimes? When it’s raining outside, do you wear a hood on your head too if be available? Imagine being profiled as a burglar or on drugs because of this hood you had on in the rain. When you look in the mirror every morning, do you think to yourself, I hope I don’t die today?…

    In demonstration, after the abolishment in the nation with three additional amendments, anti-freedmen deliberately searched a loophole to harass the freedmen. Forming the Ku Klux Klan and other groups, white americans killed and intimidated former slaves. In reference to Document E, the depiction manifested two men, a white southerner with a card saying white league, and K.K.K. member, holding a death skull over a family of black citizens grieving over their child’s corpse. The title of the picture speaks out: WORSE THAN SLAVERY. Considering the appellation and art, white southerners and K.K.K. contemplate eradicating and humiliating the black race. Moreover, the child is assumed as a victim of the murderers, causing grievance to African American’s social life. To summarize, because of the new amendments and the Reconstruction Era, African Americans have a difficult social life, finalizing the fact that America has unsuccessfully achieved social equality.…

    Wilson claimed heroism to the Southern white men who were forced to take the law into their own hands, since the government had burdened them with issues such as increased taxes. The secret club called the Ku Klux Klan formed “to protect the southern country from some of the ugliest hazards of a time of revolution…”(11) Woodson however did not see the KKK as heroes but more as villains who as a group “could not tolerate the blacks as citizens.”(13) They established themselves merely to terrorize with lawlessness and violence. Yet another perspective resides with Bailey, who did not take the antics of the KKK seriously enough to consider them heroes or villains. He does not mention the frequent lynchings made famous by the KKK, but calls their actions mere “tomfoolery”. (15) Finally, Norton breaks it down by stating that leaders “allowed factionalism along racial and class lines to undermine party unity.” (19) She goes on to list the KKK’s main purpose for existing, which was to scare and kill former slaves. Thus, accurately calling the KKK terrorists, which they clearly were, puts them in the villain category.…

    In Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” he describes the countless acts of terror and discrimination that are imposed on him and his fellow black members of society at the hands of the privileged whites. He writes, “when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate-filled policeman curse, kick, and even kill your black brothers and sisters…” (Charters 28-9). Due to all of the atrocities they must face on a daily basis, it is not easy to patient. Anne Moody also tells her story with the same level of urgency. After hearing Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington D.C., she writes that “we had dreamers instead of leaders…

    Before I begin my exposition, I want to take a moment to quote the wise King Solomon’s book of Ecclesiastes, whereupon he has written, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” Indeed, everything that man sought throughout history has been but one vain attempt after another to satisfy our lust, our wish to conquer and own everything. This fool’s wish hath bent man into a crooked being, to the point of forcefully enlisting the aid of unwilling others to achieve this impossible goal. One of those among the unwilling was in life my grandfather.…

    A former slave, who served in the Georgia State Legislature recalls, “[the Klansmen] broke my door open, took me out of bed, took me into the woods and whipped me three hours or more and left me for dead. They said to me, ‘Do you think you will ever vote another damned Radical ticket?’” (Document C). In order words, the KKK greatly opposed Reconstruction, which Radicals favored. This is why they didn’t want people to vote in favor of the Radicals. As a result, the KKK did everything in their power to try and stop Reconstruction, which included beating and killing people. These “Radical ticket[s]” were pro-integration and pro-voting rights for blacks, and when the KKK opposed these tickets, they opposed the goals of Reconstruction. Additionally, the members of the KKK were Democrats. This is not only an example of how the KKK tried to stop Reconstruction, but another example of how Democrats tried to stop it…

    I was woken up suddenly by my mother shaking me. “Come on Elmer”, she whispered, “we have to go!” Naturally, I was surprised and confused. “Where are we going mom”, I asked. “We are going downtown to partake in a little rally”, she responded. After a little more encouraging I eventually got up and began getting ready for the day. I came downstairs to see my sister, mom, and dad all waiting for me. They had all dressed as if this was a formal occasion, which I found odd, but disregarded it. We all piled into our 1917 Ford Model T and started the trek downtown. On our way, I saw lots of white people starting to fill the streets, yelling and holding signs that read things like “Lynch Those Blacks” or “What…

    Wouldn’t it be scary if someone decided that you should disappear because he thinks you do not have the right to live because of your race or religion? Well yes, it would be scary and possible. This sort of an act is known as genocide. A typical definition of genocide is the intension to eliminate, murder certain group of people because of their race, beliefs or even political and economic status. Throughout the decades, genocide has occurred in more than one occasion, causing wars, slaughters and destruction of cities and towns even though every time when one genocide is taking place we promise that it will not happen again but still it does. I personally think that genocide is by far the most horrible crime in humanity, where hatred, superiority and personal memories are so greater that mankind is forced to commit these crimes and do not even feel regret for what they have done.…
