One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States. As a continuation from the last chapter, there was a huge emphasis in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Geary Act of 1892. This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘

When you have a dictatorship power and people look to you as a God you respect them, if people tried to leave or take that power away or from you the first thought shouldn’t be to kill them by poison them with potassium cyanide. When someone treats you wrong you just leave them, you don’t give them enough arsenic poison to kill them for not doing what you read in love stories.

In this research paper we get to look back on Jim Jones and Nannie Doss’s earlier childhood, what actually made them notorious, and how their crime spree ended.

Tougher Punishments for Rougher Players Since 2000, NFL players have been committing increasingly serious crimes, considerable amounts of which have been against women. Misogyny, a hatred of women (“Merriam Webster Dictionary”), is an issue among NFL players, as displayed by their crimes against women. Although some people argue that misogyny in the NFL is not a problem and does not need attention, harsher punishments for offenders need to be implemented because excused misogynistic crimes leads to domestic violence and sexual assault, and it teaches children that misogyny and the crimes that come with it are not a big deal when they are. Domestic violence and violence against women in general are definite problems amongst NFL players and they
Should convicts be able to be released from jail or shorten their sentence by donating an organ? This is an important question that is asked by many people.

Although Stephanie McPherson and Jay Wilds had different motives for killing Hae Min Lee, they succeed to falsely incriminate Adnan Syed in spite of all the evidence that clears the defendant of this crime. Adnan’s best friend Stephanie McPherson and her boyfriend Jay Wilds both have as much of a motive to murder Hae Min Lee as Adnan Syed does. According to Ms. Muse, a teacher at Woodlawn High, Stephanie was considered “gorgeous inside and out, a lovely girl, just like Hae” (teachers). In such a small high school, the pressure put on the students who want to attend college is monumental. Therefore, only knowing that Hae and Stephanie were two of the most intelligent and athletic girls in the school raises the question to whether they were
Caged Bird both share a very common theme; segregation, slavery, and imprisonment. According to the poem Sympathy, “Till its blood is red on the cruel bar… I know why he beats his wings.” And from the poem Caged Bird, “…His bars of rage…so he opens his throat to sing.” These quotes show that both birds are treated like slaves. The bird from Sympathy was shipped until the back is full of blood and the bird from Caged Bird was held in a dungeon where it will die.
