    Dr. Rios’s purpose in writing this chapter is to convince the reader that Tyrell and Jose, as well as many other gang members, had been trapped into joining the gangs or committing criminal activity such as selling drugs to provide for themselves, since the police could not provide them with what they needed. Tyrell is the first focus of the chapter and Rios goes into detail on the Ville, which is “a low income housing project on 66th Avenue and International,” (45) known by many to be one of the most crime-ridden areas in Oakland. Tyrell talks about how his father taught him that the police were the good guys and to obey the law. Tyrell later grew up to “look like a man by age twelve,” (49) which made him a target for criminal suspicions and random checks. To see his father struggling financially as well as see himself getting stopped by the police for no reason other than his appearance, he resorted to selling drugs in order to support himself, since it “was one of the only ways he could make some money.” (50) Rios wanted to show that police were not helping him, contrary to what he was taught by his father. This lead to Tyrell having nothing to fall back on as a reliable source of help, so he had no choice but to resort to criminal activity to help support himself.…

    Martin Luther King's "A letter from Birmingham jail" was written in response to a published statement by eight fellow clergymen from Alabama who seriously criticized King for organization and participation in the protest march against segregation in Birmingham. King's letter was an attempt to defend himself from these accusations and to criticize white heads and moderators of the church. In the begging parts of the letter, Martin Luther King tries to reject the accusation of being an outsider in Birmingham. He also goes against the accusations that the protests where “untimely” by stating several reasons why this was appropriate time for…

    “Letter from Birmingham Jail: April 16, 1963” was written by Dr. Martin Luther King in response to published statements denouncing his non-violent protest in Birmingham, Alabama. The article, composed on scraps of paper, in the margins of the newspaper and finally on writing pads (King, 1963) by Dr. King as he was incarcerated in Birmingham City Jail for participating in a series of non-violent protests, known as the Birmingham Campaign. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is considered“the most important written document of the modern civil rights movement and a classic text on civil disobedience”, primarily due to King’s impassioned defense of his confrontational tactics.

    On April 3rd, 1963, the Birmingham campaign began and people were protesting against racism and injustice. The non-violent campaign was coordinated by King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. However, King was roughly arrested with other main leaders of the campaign on April 12th for disobeying the rules of “no parading, demonstrating, boycotting, trespassing and picketing”. While jailed, King read a letter (“A call for unity”) written by eight white Alabama clergymen against King and his methods from the newspaper. In the letter, the clergymen stated that the campaign were "directed and led in part by outsiders," urging activists to use the courts if rights were being denied rather than to protest. The letter provoked King and “the Letter from Birmingham jail” was a written response to the white clergy men and to defend the strategy of non-violent protesting. Throughout the letter, King used many stylistic writing elements and effective emotional appealing to make people want to join his case.…

    Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” after an unjust proposal made by eight white clergymen. Their claims were to be that no Negro “outsider” should be allowed to establish or lead any protest and should leave them to their local neighborhoods. King replied directly to the clergymen, but used religious ties to also have his voice heard in the public. In his counter argument, King strategically used logical evidence, emotional aspects and good motives to present his perspective to the clergymen.…

    The film is based on the memoirs of Wladyslaw Szpilman, this is a true story of what this man went through during Hitler’s reign. I feel like the plot of this film immediately sets it up to convey the information in a factual but emotive way, although because it is a memoir it also leaves it open to withhold a lot of information that might not be know and because they didn’t want to make parts of the story up they left the audience with quite a few unanswered questions.…

    Michael Vey was the main character in a book I read called “Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25” that I enjoyed a lot. The book tells a story of a boy who lives with his mother in Idaho. He has a very special power, the ability to shock people. But, he uses it for good by fighting evil. From zapping three bullies at school to “the rise of the Electroclan”. The main character, Michael, would be a good role model for seventh grade students because he is smart, curious and cautious.…

    The few days we lived here went by pleasantly enough, in peace.” The victims of the holocaust relied on positive ideas, to fill their souls with hope. As hope is necessary for one to even get out of bed, much hope would be needed for the terrible conditions of the concentration camps. Another example where a victim of the Holocaust showed a powerful desire for a better future is shown later in the story. After Elie was beaten by the Meister, a Jewess, passing off as a forced labor deportee, consoled him. “ ‘Bite your lip brother… don’t cry. Keep your anger and hatred for another day, for later on. The day will come, but not now… wait. Grit your teeth and wait…” She clung to her desire to survive, and taught Elie to do so as well. While many victims of the Holocaust had hope similar to hers, others had different reasons for living. One such person is a relative of Elie’s, Stein. Stein and his family lived in Antwerp before he was transported to Auschwitz. He then met Elie and Elie’s father in Auschwitz. With hope singing in his eyes, he informed Elie, “ ‘The only thing that keeps me alive... is that Reizel and the children are still alive. If It weren't for them, I couldn’t keep going.” All of these mentioned victims had hope for a better future, or a reunion with their family. Either way, that hope kept them alive, at least for a short…

    The Holocaust and war was no joking matter. Millions were executed both intentionally and unintentionally. Men, women, husbands, wives, parents, grandparents, and children; The SS didn’t care. Nor did the Poles, Germans, or anyone at all for that matter. Nobody cared about the “dirty Jews”, the “filthy dogs”, or the “swine dogs”. There were so many insults that it’s impossible to name them all. People were malnourished, lonely, and hopeless. This torture was part of the everyday life of a young man named Lucek Salzman (George Lucius Salton). This boy lost his parents at age 14 and his brother at age 15. He was beaten, he had paint poured over him, his latter was kicked by a German soldier (this ended up causing him to have an infected leg). What this man went through as a child was brutal, but the fascinating part is that he never gave up and he knew that he had a chance. Lucek Salzman had hope in the end.…
