I will use the sample essay about J Cole’s album KOD and argue why using music has been an effective way for people to express their feelings and the help they need. Seeing that people of color typically brush their health issues under the rug to never be talked about music has been a way for people to feel like they connect with others. Music has been used to make people feel like someone else has gone through what they may be going through. In my essay, I want to accomplish spreading awareness on how people use art to tell their own stories. They say a picture says a thousand words but music has been used to speak many more words than that. Art can speak for the people. Something that inspired further research was knowing that people of color think that mental health isn’t real and can easily be controlled. People of color are forced to keep quiet about what’s going on in their minds. Humans may think their crazy but that paper they write a verse on about anything they want to talk about will not judge. My thesis is important because people can only stay quiet about their struggles so long before they take over. Spreading awareness of this form of art that gets anyone’s story out could save someone’s life. I plan to extend my research by finding an artist who is talking about mental health. When people find someone else who was brave enough to post the struggles they both share, it makes them more motivated to find healthy revolutions and not feel alone.

The text I will be writing about in my analytical research paper is the Disney princess animated movie “Mulan.” The movie has a lot to talk about such as culture filtration and gender roles. Mulan is young sixteen-year-old Chinese girl who is forced into a Chinese culture she does not want to participate in. She was going to be forced into an arranged marriage, but that is not what she wanted or how she wanted to live. She has to stay home during the war but she wants to help out in any way she wants to. Once she heard her ill father might become drafted into the war, she knew she had to do something to save him. She disguised herself as a man and trained with her fellow recruits and learned how ton fight. to fight. Unlike a lot of Disney princess movies, she does not need a man or a prince charming to save the day. She is independent, fierce and a warrior to handle situations on her own. She chooses to fight in what she believes in. She is an example for many girls to be brave, take risks, and never let anyone bring you down. Mulan was such a role model that she got the men in her village to change their perspective towards women. Speaking about this topic is important to me because I believe that all women no matter their race or culture should be the same as men. Men and women should be treated equally and receive the same opportunities and privileges.

The text that I chose for Essay #3 is the Film “Just Mercy” starring Micheal B Jordan. My thesis : Social Injustice in America has held down the Black community for years. In many instances people are punished in the criminal court system for just being a certain color. There should be a better criminal system that protects colored black people from overly aggressive punishments in the court system.

What I hope to achieve in this essay is to analyze the unfair criminal court system that keeps black people overly oppressed today in America. Key points that i want to address in this essay are how the director Destin Daniel Cretton introduces the Main Character from the movie Bryan Stevenson,( a black man fighting for his people in the court system)  to combat the corrupt systematic racism adding to the importance of the movie toward opening the viewers eyes towards the corruption in our court systems in America. The events that inspired to me to do further research is i always wanted to see this movie but never had the moment to watch it since i found out about it, so i found that this essay would be a perfect moment to watch it and write a analytical research paper on it. I came up with my thesis by watching the trailer of the movie and understanding the gist of the movie in order to make a statement that would allow me to go in depth when writing my paper. I plan to explore the statement in my paper by using plenty of scholarly and popular sources to back up my statement as well as the movie, how the main character goes about combating the systematic racism.
