Propaganda

We all know there was propaganda back in the day with hitler and the wars and stuff. But is there propaganda now?? Of course it is. Its just more subtle like racism. For example, George Bush was a horrible president in my opinion. But how did he get elected twice? That was all propaganda to me because i dont think he should have won and Kanye west didnt either. But, i could be wrong and people could have actually liked him. Another thing is the newspapers. Newspapers basically send out what they want to and they make it look like some people are all great when they are actually criminals or just bad people. You can also see the propaganda in all of the commercials you see during the time of the presidential elections that make it look like they love your family personally and how the other candidate is just going to make the entire country blow up or something. They even some times turn to the devil to make them look bad. Now we all know these people dont worship the devil or do any of the things you see. But if you saw that commercial and you dont really follow the election or care, why wouldnt you vote for the person with the halo over his head? So propaganda gets candidates soo many votes because of people who dont even know who theyre voting for.

Black Boy

So far in this book there are some things that im pretty sure are gonna change and there are other things that arent. One of those things that arent going to change is hoe religious Richards grandmother and aunt are. The fact that they are so religious and their no nonsense policy is really making it hard for Richard since he is a very rebellious boy that has an open mind. I dont think those two things pair up very well at all. If you havent noticed already, it has not. The beatings are taking a huge toll on him because they are some times over stuff he hasnt really done wrong. All little kids ask questions. But getting beaten for curiosity? It is horrible to be beaten just because you want to learn. The fact that his mother did him this way made him more hostile towards his aunt and grandma. He was sick of it. So dodging unnecessary beatings were basically what he had to do. Not saying he didnt deserve to get hit for making smart comments. I am just saying that they need to stop being so stubborn because beating him isnt really working out. But they didnt just beat him, they disowed him. Come on...disowning youre grandson? I dont thing jesus would do that..

hungry for attention??

Well all little kids like to be the center of attention. So if burning the house down, or drinking wasn't enough to convince you, the age thing should tell you. So yes, I think little richard wants attention. You really should be able tob tell from the beginning. He did not want to be quiet and he wanted his way. I'm not saying that its normal for children to burn down their house, I'm just saying that he needed someone the watch him. Because if some one were paying him attention besides his brother, this would not have happened. Kids do dome things when there's no one around to beat them for doing it. Trust me, I know.
Now as time passes you can still see the he wants attention. He has nothing better to do than to watch people get drunk and so he then manages to make his way into the bar and doing it himself. And why did he do it? For attention. He liked the fact that those men wanted to see him drunk out of his mind. So he kept drinking until it turned into a problem. He thought he was doing good by letting them see him drink and get drunk. That's what any other boy would do if he were hungry for someone to look at him. That's sometimes why kids do stupid things. Well...that's most of the time why they do stupid things. So,,,yes. Richard needs attention
