Text Title: The Blind Side
Author/Director: John Lee Hancock
The Blind Side
The Blind Side is a film, about Michael Oher. It follows his journey from the poor streets of Memphis, Tennessee, to being an NFL star.
Throughout 'The Blind Side', Michaels happiness is displayed, even when he is going through extremely tough times. Seeing this made me feel delights, seeing him being able to find happiness. This is well displayed particularly in the scene where, during a football match, the opposing players, and a referee; is shown being racist towards Michael. Michael is then shown walking away happy, as he knows, that him playing is making them mad.
Watching 'The Blind Side' I felt empathy towards Michael, seeing him grow up in the poor, and tough streets of Memphis, Tennessee. Seeing this made me furious, as nothing is done about the financial struggle a lot of people have to go through.
I would recommend watching 'The Blind Side' because it does a great job of showing Michaels life.

Text Title: Half N*gga (Explicit)
Author/Director: Joyner Lucas
Listening to "Half N*gga", I am able to make a connection towards Joyner, as I am half black. When Joyner says "I don't even understand what my color is. What my color is; black, white brown, and some other sh*t" I felt a deep connection, as when I was younger, I never understood why I was the color I am.
I can also make a connection to when Joyner says "Another race in this land full of happiness; Another day trying to race to establish this; Another way, gotta wait for an activist to come say how we feel.." as the only way problems in the black community are acknowledged is something bad happens.
I would recommend listening to 'Half N*gga' as it is a great song; and displays the hardships of being half black.
