Differences And Similarities Between Encanto And Black Panther

554 Words3 Pages

In both Encanto and Black Panther, we see Mirabel and Erik Stevens dealing with having the sense of not belonging in their respective communities. In Black Panther, the result of this is Erik Stevens aka Killmonger growing up abandoned and in effect, distant from both his culture and extended family, painfully aware that they won’t accept him as warned by his father. In his isolation, he becomes a product of his circumstances living as a black man in America (dealing with the consequences of such) and learning of the injustices that Wakanda could easily prevent whilst they willfully remain uninvolved. Consequently, the present-day Erik Stevens is a morally gray character who’s now vengeful and desensitized to killing- constantly prioritizing …show more content…

The first words we see from the older Mirabel concern her wish to make her family proud and later while she gushes about her family and how proud she is to be a Madrigal, she actively ignores the children’s requests to hear more about her in the song “The Family Madrigal” and seems reluctant to share how she is “not special”. Further, in “Waiting on a Miracle”, her feelings about being unable to compare to her family members and being an outsider compound as she looks on alone while the family takes a family photo without her. Both Erik and her are clearly don’t fully belong. However, they address this differently as Mirabel attempts to fix her issue not by acting angrily or violently but by using a different kind of strength to try to help her family by restoring the miracle. Even as that is her big picture objective, she doesn’t stick strictly to achieving that and prioritizes her family’s general wellbeing. For instance, she says to Bruno she’s bringing him home after saving the miracle, checks on him to make sure he got out safe as the house crumbled even as she was in a dangerous position herself, and despite Mirabel knowing a hug is what completes Bruno’s vision, its Isabela who hugs Mirabel as Mirabel prioritized actually listening and bonding with

The Carolina Panthers got blasted from every direction in 2014, with injuries and personal mishaps and personnel blunders. Yet, Carolina was able to take advantage of a weak NFC South and make the playoffs with a losing record of 7-8-1. It’s hard to imagine anything going much worse in 2015 so the Panthers are likely to reward ticket holders with a division title and another shot in the postseason. Cam Newton is still the face of the franchise though he hasn’t proven himself to be a top tier NFL quarterback as of yet. That’s going to be hard to do in a Mike Schula offense that tends to run the ball and uses the pass like some kind of long handoff.

When the narrator was in Harlem, the narrator garners a better articulation of himself. The Brotherhood, which is a fictional version of many civil rights groups that sought to achieve social and economic equality, held many acts and speeches. The narrator was at one point the leader of the Harlem division, which shows a similarity to Nation of Islam. The narrator was peaceful, like Martin Luther King, but his competing ally, Ras the Destroyer was more aggressive, like Malcolm X. He believed that they had to “fight for the liberty of the black people” (Ellison 375) and that the power must be placed back into the hand of black folk in order for them to form their own identity. Ras evened envisioned the identity when he highlights “black intelligence” (Ellison 375).

We Dem Boiz vs Booker T Smackdown When you hear the two names Booker T and W.E.B Du Bois, you probably think of the wrestler Booker T and the song "We Dem Boyz" by Wiz Khalifa. I wish we could talk about those two subjects and see them one on one in the ring for a filthy smackdown. I would put my money on Booker T, but in this situation it is different. In this situation, we will be discussing the African-American Intellectual Booker T. Washington and the American-African historian, William Edward Burghardt.

He wrote this piece to express his important opinion about the effect of racism and how he’s viewed as a man of color. He talks about his first encounter of racism when he was young man in college and was assumed to be a mugger or killer just because of skin. “It was in echo of that terrified woman’s footfalls that I first began to know the unwieldy inheritance I’d come into the ability to alter public space in ugly ways.” I feel that the author is trying to connect to his vast audience of people who don’t understand what it is like to a black man in society. Later he contemplated that he rejected or shunned by the white race collectively as a dangerous man.

During Superbowl 50’s halftime show, the audience was treated to a performance by Coldplay featuring Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Beyonce’s new song that she performed, had a very strong political and emotional message, uplifting African Americans and the terrorism they have faced and still are facing.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a chain of restaurants specializing in burritos and tacos. The word “chipotle” comes from the Nahuatl word “chilpoctli” and means “smoked chili”. Inventing fast casual dining and use of organic ingredients distinguished Chipotle from other fast-food chains. Chipotle is the dream and creation of Steve Ells, who graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1993. Steve had been inspired by the popular tacos and burritos he discovered in San Francisco's Mission District while working there for chef Jeremiah Tower, and after securing an $85,000 loan from his father, he opened the first Chipotle in a former ice cream shop near the University of Denver campus.
