The text that I chose is the MCU movie “Avengers Infinity War”. Thesis Statement: Children at a young age experience abuse from their parents, but are able to act normal society despite their mental health and possible trauma in the future.

The reason being that I pick this movie was because Gamora had experience abuse from her father Thanos where he would control Gamora’s life and train her into something that she didn’t want to become. The flashback shows Thanos killing half of the people in Gamora’s home planet and then abducting her to train her into an assassin. However, this training would be useful to her when the day comes when she would kill Thanos. Then Gamora had an illusion where she killed Thanos which she soon to realize that it was not reality. As soon as she realizes it, she started to break down letting her emotions get the best of her indicating how much suffering she had by Thanos abusing her and their relationship was not of parent and child. This would result in Thanos sacrificing Gamora for the soul stone for his gains. Then Thanos realize how much love he had for Gamora that he didn’t realize how much abuse he did towards her. So the point I want to accomplish is for parents to realize that they are actually abusing their child in some kind of form. The main points that I want to address is that how their abuse may have affect their mental health, trauma, comparing help and abuse and etc. The thing that desire me to further my research is probably the way how my parents treat me to how they think they are helping me by doing this one thing but in some kind of way it’s really not helping me. So I want to see what’s the things that parents think that may show a form of abuse. The way that I came up with my statement is that some children face some kind of abuse at a young age and some won’t talk about their problems because it may bring complications at home. In addition, people who don’t know the child well will see that they are putting up a face to show that they aren’t suffering unlike those who are close to that person to know what they really feel.

The Text I will be writing about in essay #3 will be the original Netflix Series “On My Block.” Thesis statement: Teens unfortunately are being exposed to racism, discrimination, gang violence, drug abuse etc. and are expected to be able to function perfectly stable despite the negative toll it can take on their mental and physical health and their relationships with their friends and family.

I believe that this show depicts struggles not openly spoken about that certain teens endure on a daily basis. This show depicts how a group of 4 young teen friends live in a bad part of California filled with gang violence, racism, discrimination and drug abuse. Such topics are not as easy to be talked about I believe due to fear and negligence that they do exist. In this essay I hope to be able to shed light on these problems that young children are being exposed to and try to be a voice that there should be something done in order for these problems to decrease. I would like to address that discrimination and gang violence display a relationship with each other and ignoring someone’s mental health is also a problem as seen in the show. Addressing the importance of trust within family and friends is also important and addressing the certain toxic traits of masculinity is also important and should be pointed out. The lack of education on drug abuse and sex education is also an important point that I would like to note in my essay. I would like to further research these topics because the majority of children that are affected and endure these problems are minorities such as blacks and Hispanics. Analyzing the negative tolls that these problems take on teens is important because one will be able to further understand the damage that these teens may have in themselves and the damage they can cause to themselves and others and will allow for us to learn ways in helping these teens better themselves.
