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.          ...

Politics Motivate Artistic Quality by Keisha Robinson

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.
