Literary Analysis of Baxter’s Procrustes by Keisha Robinson

In response to the literary reading of Charles W. Chesnutt’s, Baxter Procrustes , I really enjoyed the reading and I loved the writing style! This reading adventure was very fun, with an exception for minor difficulty understanding the usage of some punctuation, wording, and language. This story is well written and  clearly expressive of philosophical, logical, and illogical thoughts and ideas. Baxter’s Procrustes serves as a literary inspiration for authors, writers, publishers, and book collectors. This is an amazing story of failure, hope and success as best described with a shortcoming by omitting women. Solely due to the period of time in which this story was written is the only excusable reason that women were not allowed. That is no longer an issue or a concern today because of people like Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass and efforts put forward towards Women's Liberation and the Women's Rights Movement.             Although I did find this a story of fate, Baxter w

Politics Motivate Artistic Quality by Keisha Robinson

Politics Motivate Artistic Quality                                                     By: Keisha Robinson Politics inadvertently impact an artists’ creative work. Based on conditions: socioeconomic, inequality, injustice, racism, discrimination, oppression, and genocide; I believe an artist is compelled and often times obligated to describe these conditions through various art forms. I find it necessary for an artist to express issues related to politics in a creative format, and quite often political issues do motivate such works.   As an artist, free expression is an imperative aspect to creativity: The freedom to express different viewpoints and diverse perspectives without scrutiny surrounding artistic style, arrangement, and composition for me, helps conveys a clear message. In my opinion, there is no set standard for artistic creativity. I would not have the creative freedom of expression that exists today, had it not been for the versatile pioneer’s at the forefront. I am hono

Thor 3D

    Last week, I had a chance to check out the Screening for Thor 3D in Hollywood, CA at Mann's Chinese Theatre. This film wasbased on the Marvel Comic series and was filled with action. I am a huge movie buff and I normally don't get that engaged in movies, even if they're 3D. This film definitely had me on the edge of my seat, and I especially loved the different settings, the theme, and the special effects. This movie is Rated PG and good enough to see again. Don't forget to check out the May 2011 Source Magazine, it features cover of Idris Elba, which played the role of Gatekeeper in the movie.

The Power of Writing by Keisha Robinson

The Power of Writing Writing is an essential function in life. I am sure that most people don’t realize the importance of writing, and how it has impacted human life. Books were written of various diverse denominations to provide basic instructions while on earth. On July 4, 1776 when this nation was founded, there needed to be some type of document solidifying the separation of the United States from the British Empire which caused for the creation of the United States Declaration of Independence. Extremely significant and powerful, writing can be used as a tool to establish any point of view. The importance, the purpose, and the point of views through the writing were well demonstrated by Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence is an important document and in its own written words, started the path to abolish Slavery, which didn’t happen until much later. History confirms the significance of the power that lies within written words. Another important written document that

Sunday's 53rd Annual Grammy Awards was a star studded evening with plenty of excitement. The Los Angeles Staples Center, where the Hollywood sign is nearby and visible, is where this year's award show took place. A lifetime achievement tribute went to the Queen of Soul: Aretha Franklin, as she was honored with an award.
