Boyz n the Hood directed by John Singleton is viewed as one of the most influential films of its time. The film has sparked a new genre of films such as Menace II Society‚ South Central‚ and Baby Boy. In each of these films‚ similar to Boyz n the Hood‚ is the portrayal of the struggles that African Americans in ghettos face‚ and how they deal with the thought in the back of their minds that there is no way out. The setting for Boyz n the Hood takes place in South Central Los Angeles in a neighborhood

Nikki Vietz Ms Bontekoe Honors English 11 3 October 2013 Synthesis Essay By changing the word “nigger” to “slave” defeats the purpose of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn being a historical piece of literature. Such a change means ignoring the past and the word “nigger” is part of that past. “Nigger” is demeaning and insulting but is its replacement any less demeaning and insulting. Changing the word would not only destroy the message that Mark Twain was trying to convey‚ but also America’s history

Synthesis of Methyl Stearate The purpose of this lab was the convert liquid methyl oleate to solid methyl stearate by catalytic hydrogenation. Firstly‚ we produced hydrogen gas using solid mossy zinc and sulfuric acid. Using the hydrogen produced in the previous reaction‚ we were able to convert the liquid methyl oleate to solid crystals of methyl stearate. A mineral oil was also used to bubbler was used to maintain the hydrogen pressure slightly above the atmospheric pressure and to prevent back-diffusion

used in testing were all functional groups‚ Aldehyde‚ Ketone‚ Alcohol and‚ Ester. Functional groups are a portion of a molecule that give the molecules its properties‚ they are the centers of chemical reactivity. The structures of the functional groups used in testing are displayed in Figure 1.0. Figure 1.0 Structure of Functional Groups to Distinguish from Within the

EXP-10 CHEM 233L SYNTHESIS OF p-BROMOANILINE Introduction: In this experiment‚ p-bromoaniline was synthesized in three steps starting from aniline. Since the amino group of aniline is a strong activator of aromatic ring‚ direct bromination is impractical (equation 1). In order to make a desired product‚ amino group needed to be protected as the acetamide which also maintained ortho and para position but slowed down the rate of reaction (equation 2). Slow reaction rate would increase

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

Synthesis Paper Introduction Exercise can be very challenging to commit to. As a young adult my ideas and hopes were to always begin and maintain a routine that would help me to stay active and healthy. I regretfully report that I have not yet committed to this effort. In high school‚ I ran with the track team and was faithful the Reserve Officer Training Corps which helped me to stay in shape and remain fit with much effort. This was just a part of my life and I enjoyed it

Critical Synthesis Urban Sociology introduced students to five seminal texts from the field. While studying cities (and their surrounding areas)‚ and their political‚ economic‚ and social institutions‚ it is important to understand the key themes covered in these books: contested space (both for the arenas of land development and redevelopments as well as for various geopolitical interests); residential segregation; poverty; inequality (and the roles that government agencies play in exacerbating

Lab Report #1 Title: Synthesis of Divanillin Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize divanillin. This was done via the oxidative dimerization of two equivalents of vanillin‚ using enzyme horseradish peroxidase as the catalyst. Procedure: Lab Handout: Nishimura‚ R.T.; Giammanco‚ C.H.; Vosburg‚ D.A. J. Chem Educ. 2010‚ 87‚ 526-527. Discussion: Mechanism: Reaction 2 Vanillin H2O2 Divanillin 2 H2O
