Clybourne Park

Overall I enjoyed the play of Clybourne Park because it showed what the other side of the story A Raisin in the Sun was like for the family that was moving out of this house.

Selma Response

In the film Martin Luther King was trying to get the right to vote for all of the blacks in Selma. Although this is the main point that is stated outright there is a bigger point underlying all of this. The actual main point was the fact that he wanted to prove that they would persevere over the abuse and cruelty of the whites no matter how rough the situation got. Overall I did like the film because it was focused on one of the men that I have admired for a long time. Also it showed the truth about what had happened during that time period. Before watching this film I wasn't very familiar  with the voting movement in Selma, but I did know about MLK's previous achievements with topics such as the bus boycott and his "I have a Dream speech". By having previous knowledge about these topics I understood and enjoyed the movie more than if I didn't have the knowledge about the topic.

The Legend of Stevie

 
It was a warm Monday evening when our class received the news... The school mascot had been kidnapped by the sick, maniacal Laurie Schmeling, who gave us a list of clues on how to rescue the beloved pointer. She split us into multiple groups and sent us out into the library complex to find the mascot. Upon searching for the first clue we ran into the other groups, and we decided to form an alliance to help save the mascot quicker. Most of the groups agreed, but a young Clever Kevin had heard rumors of a ransom or prize if he discovered Stevie first. He decided to go it alone with his other cronies and leave the rest of us behind. With the rest of the groups united we set out to find the rest of the six clues, but this also did not last long. There was unrest among the alliance and clue by clue groups disbanded to find the treasure first. All that remained was the two faithful groups left in the alliance that hadn’t succumbed to the greed and kept the noble cause of finding Stevie not for the greed.
