Argumentative Essay: The Blacklist Show

1237 Words5 Pages

Back from what seemed like a long Summer hiatus The Blacklist appeared to be in full form in Thursday night's premiere episode. Oh how we have missed Red's anecdotes and quit wits, Liz asking questions and never getting an answer, Ressler and his unrelenting quest to uphold the law, and, of course, Aram. I'm glad the show is back and while it's too early to start talking ratings and renewals I believe, based on what we saw Thursday night, that there will be no question what's in store for The Blacklist beyond this season.

The episode begins immediately after the events of the season two finale. If you recall from that episode, Liz ends up being framed for the murder of a U.S. Senator and murders Attorney General Tom Connolly. On the run from Ressler and the FBI, Red swoops in to save her and they drive off as the season came to its dramatic finish. Now, the FBI has located Liz and Red's van and is hot on their trail, but knowing Red, he has a few more tricks to shake them off. The remainder of the cold open is what we have come to expect from Red and his ability to stave off imprisonment. What we now know deep down is that Red is most likely doing all of this more for Liz's benefit than for his own. …show more content…

Now, we find Cooper has been jailed for his alleged involvement in Liz's affairs that day. With Cooper incarcerated, Ressler is given charge of the FBI task force tasked with locating the two fugitives, Red and Liz. Watching the two on the run was fun for as long as it lasted. My favorite moments of the two previous seasons were when Liz and Red had scenes together and this episode gifted us with a scene an episode

Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world.

Black Codes Ashton V Some Northerners charged that the black codes were a backdoor attempt at reestablishing slavery. I believe this could’ve been an attempt to have a similar scenario to slavery just it actually being legal. The first example that supports them trying to reestablish slavery was that they prohibited to marry anyone outside their race. They weren’t allowed to bear arms or learn and write. This brought trouble for the blacks because when it came to voting they would then have to pass the literacy tests, set in place by the Jim Crow Laws because they wouldn’t be able to pass which would decrease the numbers black numbers substantially.

From Red’s point of view he described it “For the briefest of moments, every man in Shawshank felt free”. This brief moment of freedom showed the prisoners of Shawshank what it was like to feel free again. That moment of freedom gave them hope. That one small action showed the hopeless prisoners that there is more out there. Even though it was only a little hope, it did more for them than the whole time they had been imprisoned at Shawshank.

It took just forty five days for United States citizens to acquiesce their rights to freedom and privacy for the sake of safety following the events of September 11, 2001. Forty five days is how long it took the United States Congress to pass a law that gave up the very concept of liberty upon which this country is founded. The morning sky was a brilliant shade of blue with not a cloud in sight in New York on that fateful day of September. That all changed at 8:45 AM when a Boeing 767 jet plane tore into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Eighteen minutes later, a second Boeing 767 bit into the sixtieth floor of the south tower.

The twelve districts in theory should view the Hunger Games as the necessary tool that keeps Panem from uprising and self-destruction, however, the reception of the Games in the really poor districts clearly shows that the Capitol cannot reform them to think so. Statistically, the poor districts are always the most likely to lose one year’s competition because they lack resources to train tributes and their children are starving. Therefore, the response to the Hunger Games in the poor districts who are on the brink of starvation is the most dramatic. Citizens of districts such as 11 and 12 can only view the Games as injustice because once a child is chosen at the Reaping he or she is evidently doomed to die. There are rare exceptions as the

The superhero or villain that I would like to change places for a day would be Natasha Romanoff, better known as the Black Widow who is apart of The Avengers. Even though she doesn’t have a robotic suit, a hammer, or a shield like some of the other Avengers, she can still take down an entire army with her impressive combat skills. In addition to her amazing fighting talent, Natasha does not age. She was born during WWII, but because her body has been scientifically engineered she is not affected by diseases and aging. Although it would only be a day in which I would not age, it would still be amazing to be one day younger.
