A message to the Grassroots
My thoughts on
"A Message To The Grassroots"
By Sonny Sandoval
"A message to the grassroots", is a speech made in 1963 by Malcolm X. Its a speech dedicated to the black Americans who were ridiculed and bamboozled by the white folk back then. The speech was spoken in a live rally around 2 days after the speech was written.
The first third of the speech is when he talks about unity in black people, realizing the white common enemy, and how white people never sacrificed anything for black people. I was inspired greatly by how much he meant what he said 'cause of his booming voice and power. And this was just the beginning. It really did open my eyes about all of those topics he spoke of.
The second third of the speech is when he talked about "Nationalism", "Revolution", the difference between a house negro and a field negro, and how white people taught black people to suffer "peacefully". The middle part of the speech, in my opinion, was the pinnacle of the entire speech. It was also the most emotional part for Malcolm X.
The last third was him talking about how every black American should defend themselves when needed, the bribery of some black American rights activists you know today, and how because of the bribe, loads of black people were becoming soft. This part hurt the most. Not only did Martin Luther King and some others been bribed a mil and a half, but they weren't even supposed to be in the rally in the first place.
What I've learned from this speech is that its terrifying to think that even a mixed kid like myself, from back then, would be considered a negro. Also, everyone should have the right to do what ever is necessary to protect you and your family, no matter the race. And finally, DONT TRUST A FAKE NEGRO NOW BOY!!

Movie Review
Judas and the Black Messiah
Write a one page movie review discussing what the movie is about and what your opinion of the movie is in the conclusion of your essay.
Key Points to remember; Fred Hampton's life and death(The black Jesus or the Messiah) and his fiance's legacy. William O’Neal as the Judas (Traitor) and the notoriously sly white FBI Agent. The Black Panther party revolution as it came alive and ended in Chicago, Illinois.
Start here:
Judas and the Black Messiah is a movie directed by Shaka King on February 1 2021. It is a film about the legendary black panther known as Fred Hampton AKA The Black Jesus, and the man who “technically” Killed him known as William O’Neal AKA Traitor, and the man who paid the killer known as the sly white FBI Agent.
To summarize it quickly, The movie is basically all the events that lead to Fred Hampton's death. Whether the illegal guns, the shots leading to an injured cop, the drug money to buy explosives, it all leads to the government hitting back by killing their leader on December 4, 1969 due to a shootout. After the Black Jesus dropped dead, the black panther party quickly fell into pieces. Riots about dirty police, vengeance for Fred Hampton, and chaos were all there was in news headlines. A Lot of time later, the rat known as William O neal says the truth on pbs news. Later that day, when the news aired on live tv, Willam committed suicide.
In conclusion, the movie got a 96/100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes,
And I would give it a 8.5/10. The movie told the truth about a horrific scandal that was caused by a coward rat that should never of happened in the first place.

My experience with gaming In the 9th gen
My Experience With Gaming
In The 9th Gen
My time with games has been an experience I can barely explain. The fun, the friends I've made, and the time that I put in games are all extraordinary for it all to come out of gaming itself. From gaming for 1 hour at a time, to 14 hours A DAY, and people say it's unhealthy for you. But I will try to fight that thinking with my point of view and teach you why gaming can be so much more. This is my time with games.
First of all, did you know that 100% of people who make articles about people who play games say it's an “escape” for them to go online every time. It”s because of multiple reasons. Like maybe someone has insecurities about themselves. But when you’re online, you are a mere profile in a place of anonymity. That's how so many people who may be disabled, or just look ugly in general, can meet people and not be judged on how they look, but from how they act towards others.
Secondly, people love games as a whole because it's FUN. Games are every known noun in the book, PROVE ME WRONG! Every single adjective, noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, EVERYTHING. Games can be heart wrenching, exciting, sad, happy, “sweaty”, and that's how games survived this whole time. Because it's not boring…
Thirdly, I'd like to point out escape again. People can go through bad times, and I've had my fair share of those. But when people go to the gaming world, they can play without a care in the world. One of my good friends who I have met at games, said that his family went through a rough patch in their parents' marriage, said that when he got on some games, he would look away at the bad, and point toward the good outlook in life. Games can open a point of view you can't see with other things, that's why people love games more than you think.
In conclusion, Games have made a group of friends for me, let me meet some girls every now and then (not like that), and i think every person in the world should experience it with me as well.

MobyDick, A modern Movie Review with Thor
"In the Heart of the Sea"
Movie Review
"In The Heart Of The Sea" was created by Ron Howard. It's a movie putting more thought in the original story "Moby Dick" written by Herman Melville. This movie actually creates a new second part of the original story.
In the beginning of the story, the setting of the movie is in a low class area of England. The tone of the movie at the start is gloomy, grey, and depressing. It brings a failed writer, and a poor couple together, with the husband having a rough time with nightmares of his past, and the writer having trouble with the story of the Essex. The writer goes to the family to figure out what exactly happened on the new England vessel, the Essex, because the husband is the only man alive who knows what actually happened on that boat. The husband refuses, but out of a lack of money that the family needs, the wife begs him to tell the story, so he does.
In the rising action, the movie flash backs into the ship where the husband was only a mere boy at the time. The ship was sturdy, and the crew mates were fierce, and hunting for sperm whales was their task. New faces were introduced, like the captain, George Pollard, or Owen Chase. While finding an island, they are introduced to a breeding ground of sperm whales in the ocean, with a big sperm whale protecting them. They go anyway, and their boat sinks because the Protecting whale knocked it into the ocean.So now they are stranded on little row boats in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
For the climax, all of the cremates become hungry, and one of them dies because of it. So they had to make the decision to leave the dead, or eat it. So they prepared the body, and ate the remains of the carcus.
The falling action is when they are literally dying of no food, the protecting whale comes back, but the crew does not even make an effort to kill it. So it leaves them alone for them to die of starvation.
In the end, they get saved from a fishing boat near land to find whats left of the row boats. The husband feels good telling the story, because he had that evil for so long, that he told the writer to keep his money that was about to be given to their family. So the writer goes on to then write the classic "Moby Dick" and the movie ends.
The acting fell off at the end because all of them starving, the graphics were old and lazily made, everything felt off and average because of the script for the characters just dying for half the movie. I feel like most of the story focused too much on starvation rather then the characters themselves. More scenes should have been on the whale too because the whale just destroyed the whole ship, left, came back, looked at the crew mates, and left for the rest of the film. I would have preferred the whale be the stand point for the story, just how it is like the original story.
