please write in High school level like “The reflection paper is about what happened during class. When it started, the teacher asked if we read the article that is called What Students Really Need to Hear. Some of us gave a summary or view that in general a teacher cares for his students as he encourages them to work harder to have a successful life, instead of quitting class. It means to me a lot since it's related to the internship which makes it serious work and will show a good impression on the person's resume. The internship helps people learn how to work in the right way. The Workforce Recruitment Program or WRP works on proving all the companies that college deaf students can work with their abilities and many of them get job opportunities throughout WRP. A network and technology may be powerful because it helps us connect with other companies which helps us get a job any place over the world, although a brownie is to tend to follow other people instead of your own opinion, it might make people in a work place to be honored and trusted as a good team. I am concerned about the brownie. It may not be a good idea--I don't like it because I believe in my peaceful opinion so that we can discuss to solve a problem.”

It was the first time I ever saw Black newspapers and magazines like JET, Ebony, the Baltimore Afro-American, or the Chicago Defender. And I’ll never forget my librarian.” Based on the quote, it would be deduced that Lewis had been away from civilization for quite some time. The only reason why he felt this was a good experience was because it was something he was doing for the first time, something that he had been deprived for long. It also shows a sense of excitement by the fact that he saw a black newspaper. This shows the extent of racism during that period which would give one the satisfaction, just to see something that connects them to their race. Was racism so bad that getting to school felt like heaven? Can anyone prosper once given the opportunity to? Discussion 2 "Our revolt was as much against the traditional black leadership structure as it was against segregation and discrimination," From this quote one can note prevalence of violence and antagonism. It is evident that there was too much discrimination that would make them really left out in the society. The information thus presents some hints on likelihood of future violence, together with the hint of prevalence of fractures within the movement that is supposed to protect the black people. For an activist like Lewis therefore, this would be a discouragement as he expects people to be united so as to achieve their freedom and their rights as well. As such, he feels that given the opportunity he would not only rectify the black leadership structure, but would also try and minimize the gap of racial segregation and discrimination. Were the back leaders too conservative? What would constitute to reluctance in the black leadership structure? Discussion 3 “We passed their school houses as well, with nice playground equipment outside….nothing like our cluster of small cinderblock buildings with a dirt field out back for recess. Earlier, the book communicates on the differences between the colored community and the white people. The roads are not good for the black people and nothing would be done to it unless to pave the roads, when it was required that the white people have to pass through. It is hence clear that there was a high rate of segregation which made the white people get to enjoy privileges that the black people were not allowed or given the opportunity to explore. It is also evident that black people were incapable of affording aspects such as nice playing equipments and even nice playgrounds. Can the black people strive to acquire similar privileges as the white people? What could be done to eliminate the segregation that exists up to the present? Discussion 1 On page 78, Jamal discusses how he was charged for the committed murder, committed arson, and attempted murder. Why was Jamal accused of all these atrocities? Where did they originate? What led to the arrest? Where did all this hatred come from? Who was responsible? It seems the same events are still happening to people of color today. If assumed that the blacks are likely to be criminals as compared to the whites, for example there has been a theft in a neighborhood where there is a black family living around. They will be the first suspects. At the court, the blacks seem to have no rights. Why hasn’t our society improved in the last 50 years that happenings still around us? What is stopping the society from progressing in this area? Discussion 2 On page 89, Jamal had been visited by his mother, however, things were changed, not as usual. Jamal’s mother had come to visit but they could not communicate because the phone was not working. Why would they disconnect the phones? Why do police allow the prisoners to have visits if they can’t communicate with their visitors? Why would they cut the visit short? This shows the disregard of humanism faced by the panthers. They were being mistreated and denied their constitutional rights of receiving visitors and being given humble times to communicate with them. The guards were unfriendly to the panthers and their visitors. What is the nature of such a disregard to human life, especially the black population? Why hasn’t the situation changed for all this? What needs to be done to make this change happen? Discussion 3 On page 90, Jamal was beaten by the guards while he was being escorted. “The guard was holding his prison key ring, which he used to deliver a hard smack against side of my head.” Why would they beat up a prisoner? What had he done so wrong that he deserved to be beaten up? Was it a common happen for all prisoners? Or what is saved for the panthers? This was not acceptable and it was not right way of dealing with prisoners. It seems that the same act is still happening. Prisoners are beaten up by prison wardens. The act shows the disregard of prisoners’ rights. The wardens are not supposed to hit the prisoners in any way. Why hasn’t our society improved? What has been stopping the society from progressing in this area? Do we need to come up with different structure or use the current ones to improve the situation? Discussion 1: A. On page 12, the Jamal says that”Black kids didn’t play on white blocks; white teens didn’t walk through the projects.” Further he also mentions that “If you’re black, get black”. These were the words to a song that Pa Baltimore had in his old record collection. He played it for me and told me that this song has been a big hit in America in the 1940’s” b. Why skin color made much difference? Where did this discrimination come from? What made people view that this color difference? C. Still till this day we see cases like the RumainBrisbon in Phoenix, Ariz. on Dec. 2, 2014, where he was shot when a police officer apparently mistook his bottle of pills for a gun. D. Why people still consider color a major discrimination in the society? What changes has to be made in the society and in the policy to change this? Discussion 2: A. On page 15, Jamal says”As I stared at the picture in horror, he explained that the boy had been murdered by redneck crackers because he had whistled at a white women in a store” B. Why do people take law on their own hand? Isn’t that why we have laws and rules? C. This is not a rare occurrence. Even in today's scenarios, such incidents do occur. Like, Lynch mob kills suspected rapist in India after dragging him naked for four miles through the city. This makes people lose confidence in justice and making them feel to take law in their own hands. D. Why is at the nature of such a disregard for human life? Does this mean people have lost hope in justice? What has to be done do restore this? Discussion 3: A. On page 29, Jamal discusses about his chase by a police officer during the riot, he says, “Two shots rang out. One splinted the wood on the fence near my butt.” B. What events lead to shoot people by police? What had contributed to the racial discrimination by the cop? C. Even today world events like this do happen, Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed on Aug. 9, 2014, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in a suburb of St. Louis. D. Why hasn’t the people’s minds changed? Why do people have to involve in riot over different issues? Can’t it be solved over talks? Why do police have to take severe measures on the people involved in riot? Discussion 1 On page 78, Jamal discusses how he was charged for the committed murder, committed arson, and attempted murder. Why was Jamal accused of all these atrocities? Where did they originate? What led to the arrest? Where did all this hatred come from? Who was responsible? It seems the same events are still happening to people of color today. If assumed that the blacks are likely to be criminals as compared to the whites, for example there has been a theft in a neighborhood where there is a black family living around. They will be the first suspects. At the court, the blacks seem to have no rights. Why hasn’t our society improved in the last 50 years that happenings still around us? What is stopping the society from progressing in this area? Discussion 2 On page 89, Jamal had been visited by his mother, however, things were changed, not as usual. Jamal’s mother had come to visit but they could not communicate because the phone was not working. Why would they disconnect the phones? Why do police allow the prisoners to have visits if they can’t communicate with their visitors? Why would they cut the visit short? This shows the disregard of humanism faced by the panthers. They were being mistreated and denied their constitutional rights of receiving visitors and being given humble times to communicate with them. The guards were unfriendly to the panthers and their visitors. What is the nature of such a disregard to human life, especially the black population? Why hasn’t the situation changed for all this? What needs to be done to make this change happen? Discussion 3 On page 90, Jamal was beaten by the guards while he was being escorted. “The guard was holding his prison key ring, which he used to deliver a hard smack against side of my head.” Why would they beat up a prisoner? What had he done so wrong that he deserved to be beaten up? Was it a common happen for all prisoners? Or what is saved for the panthers? This was not acceptable and it was not right way of dealing with prisoners. It seems that the same act is still happening. Prisoners are beaten up by prison wardens.

What has been stopping the society from progressing in this area? Do we need to come up with different structure or use the current ones to improve the situation? Discussion 1: A. On page 97, Jamal discussed about Teddy’s suicide and he says “Teddy needed some counseling and medical attention, so I went to the guards they said it was really none of my business.” B. Why guards don’t treat the prisons in good manner? Aren’t they human? Isn’t the cop’s duty to safeguard them? C. Protecting the prisoners is the ultimate duty of cops and with their negligence incidents like Exopa Boss’s death on 8 December 2014 happen due to lack of medical facilities. D. Does this mean they don’t get a chance to correct themselves? Just because they did something wrong doesn’t mean they don’t deserve things like normal people do? Are the prisons safe inside? Discussion 2: A. On page 123, Jamal states “I would be ready to fly out when the prison’s door open or break” B. Why the cell for prisons aren't maintained properly by the management? Why they aren’t safe and secure? C. Still today incidents like prison escape in Johannesburg on 8 January 2014 occurs due to irresponsibility of the officers. D. What leads to this duty? Why don't the cops safeguard them? Why don't they build proper cell to be secure and safe? Discussion 3: A. On page 128, Jamal says “The fascist board of miseducation is collaborating with the government swine to deny me my rights”. B. Why don't government give a chance to correct the mistakes? Why people are ill treat the prisons once they are out? C. Life after prison can be hard, for example Darius Clark who was in prison for 5 years for bank robbery but later did an autobiography in “evolution of criminals “ in 2015. D. Why don't people get given equal rights who want to lead a normal life after prison? Why does the government deny rights for them? Discussion 1 In page 150 and 151, Mr. Charlie made the blacks believe that the “Korean Men weren’t actually trying to kill themselves but instead wanted to kill the demon that was riding their back”. It is through this comment that the writer grew in his teenage years believing that he had a demon on his back and he would unwillingly be driven near death for the purpose of removing it. This was not a good way to kill the blacks since it involved filling up wrong thoughts and perceptions on what was happening in their lives. The writer believed that he was the reason behind the death of the people close to him because of the notion of demon in him. This aspect still applies even today in the sense that there are areas where black children are brought up to believe that it is their fault why they are poor or are living in poor environments. Further, more negativity is associated with black which is a sort of current demon. Is it relevant to think that blacks possess demons? Is the hatred of the white so much that eliminating them was the only solution? Discussion 2 In page 160, the writer states that: “Cetewayo grew up in Harlem whereby he was an honor student… However he was raised in a housekeeping project where there was an epidemic of crimes and drugs, and his promising career was cut short after he became addicted to heroin”. The quote explains how blacks ended up becoming failures after being influenced by the environment that they lived in. The next part of the page shows that after he managed to kick that drug habit, he became a black nationalist. That part describes what happens today, mostly in the lives of many blacks. Statistics have proven that most of the blacks are leading in intake of drugs. Further, it is also true that most drug taking is connected with crime which is also common in the black neighborhoods. Further, even today, it has been proved that kinds of environments have a way of influencing the future of a child while growing up. Therefore, I find the quote quite relevant even up to date. Are the blacks the only people affected by drug abuse? Could the blacks be successful if they tried to overcome their addiction? Does this continue up to date? Why? Discussion 3 In page 188 towards the completion of the chapter, the writer states that “Afeni Shakur and Joan Bird bail was revoked because two of the codefendants had fled”. Earlier in the page, there were reports on warrants being issued for the codefendants as they had failed to show up in court. Afeni and Joan had then been thrown in prison and had their bail remanded. They had walked in the courtroom and fell into a trap and since the codefendants had fled, there was nothing that could be done to save them. The quote is quite relevant as it tries to show some of the things that happen in the courts today. As blacks, the law was not on their side and they could not rescue themselves from the trap. The same issue of discrimination on color has been evidenced in our today’s courts and with little distortion of evidence people are denied of their rights. Do courts have a way of attaining justice? Is there a law on discrimination? Is there anything that can be done to facilitate equality? Discussion 1 In page 150 and 151, Mr. Charlie made the blacks believe that the “Korean Men weren’t actually trying to kill themselves but instead wanted to kill the demon that was riding their back”. It is through this comment that the writer grew in his teenage years believing that he had a demon on his back and he would unwillingly be driven near death for the purpose of removing it.

The same issue of discrimination on color has been evidenced in our today’s courts and with little distortion of evidence people are denied of their rights. Do courts have a way of attaining justice? Is there a law on discrimination? Is there anything that can be done to facilitate equality? Discussion On page 190, we see how the narrator is tormented by the way he is living. Always running away from the cops. The only logical solution is to get out of the country where other panthers have gone probably found some peace. They have gone either to Cuba or Algeria where people of color are not being oppressed. “I kept moving from rundown tenements to dank basement apartments, always looking over my shoulder or lying awake. Expecting cops to show up with guns blazing. I got messages by making calls from phone booth at pre- arranged times to other phone booths. My panther comrades told me that the cops were tearing up the Bronx and Harlem looking for Dhoruba, Cet, and me. We laid low while we waited for our white radical friends to get us passports and plane tickets to leave the country”. Today, many cases where oppression is based on color is being witnessed today. White police can be seen bullying people with no logical explanation but just because of their color. In some institutions, like Airports, whites are given priority in terms of service delivery. This is caused by people who are still racists. Why this revolution? Why is still there incidences of oppression even after a long period of campaign? Can’t there be a permanent solution? That goes beyond physical punishment? That will see the end of oppressing people of color? On page 200, the narrator is talking about how they were oppressed by the police as well as drug lords and how they had to stand against it. “The community need to form a people’s army to stand vigilant against drugs, police brutality and all forms of oppression”. Why this oppression? Why did it begin? Why was there no way to stop it from spreading among black community? What is accountable for this brutal behavior? On page 222, he talks more of oppression, “George Jackson has been sentenced to seventy years for a gas station robbery when he was seventeen years old. To the system he was another poor black boor who couldn’t afford a lawyer”. Just because he was black and could not afford a lawyer, he was treated unfairly On Page 231, we see cops stare at dying Jake mercilessly. “Jake sat on the bench bleeding, with the color draining from his face. He threw up and went into shock. Several white cops stood there just looking”. He was black, and because of that, white cops could not help him. Why do these incidents happen, especially to black community? What steps is the government taking to stop this oppression? Why is there no great change even after a long period of time? What prevents change for the better? The civil rights issues were aimed at protecting the ones who had been slaves in the civil war. However, there were number of racist whites who opposed this legislation. Therefore, a number of Black codes (laws passed to limit the civil rights of African-American in some states) were used to restrict the interactions between blacks and whites and also control labor. In turn, African-Americans had to fight for freedom. And it seems this is happening even today. In America, racial discrimination is seen in housing, employment and public accommodation access. This year Oklahoma law courts has handled more than 30 housing codes based on racial discrimination
