I have chosen to focus on the issue of racial stereotypes and biases, particularly regarding the movie "Boyz n the Hood. " The movie is an interesting crime drama film released in 1991 and directed by John Singleton. It mostly follows the lives of African-American youths growing up in the poverty-stricken neighborhoods of South-Central Los Angeles, especially the Crenshaw neighborhood. Analyzing this film is essential in understanding various assumptions and preconceived notions different audience members may bring and whether the movie reinforces or challenges those expectations.

Throughout the book, the Black Panther relies on the support of his fellow Wakandans to confront challenges and to protect the people of his nation. In Issue #2, he travels to a slum in Wakanda and witnesses the poverty and despair that many of his people are facing.

white world. (Ibid 33) Strangely enough, for Jan Mohamed’s (1995) argument to work he himself must ignore the misogyny in Wright’s text.

The presence of a person can affect the people around.
Other examples that Shrylinsky brings up are the villains in the Wolverine arc. The two villains, Lord Darkwind and Apocalypse, are both non-white and they attempt to tamper with Wolverine’s biology thereby tampering with his masculinity. The author infers that this is a sign of the minorities feeling jealous over the rights/non-masculinity that they do not possess. By coming to this conclusion, Shrylinsky shows that Wolverine is the epitome of white masculinity that readers pine to become and that the villains are the minorities who try to either take down those like Wolverine because they feel inferior themselves or
Many people debate the issue of whether Macbeth can be considered “criminally insane” in a court of law or not. In the tale of “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, the ideal warrior’s descent into darkness and corruption presents a compelling case for him being considered "criminally insane" in a court of law. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill King Duncan for Macbeth to be king after the witches propose to Macbeth a prophecy that took over his mind. Macbeth is in control of his actions. As Macbeth still commits crimes and raises his body count, Macbeth increasingly becomes paranoid.
Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man, wrote about the disadvantages of a black man who worked hard but was unable succeed. Though the prologue and chapter one, Battle Royal, will be discussed, applying African American literary criticism can still be accomplished. As a young intelligent black male, the Invisible man is portrayed as undeniably naïve, which made him unknowing to his own oppression.

However, on the surface he believed that with intelligence he could achieve equality, but internally aware of the impossibility.
Throughout his essay, Staples is able to make the audience understand what he has to deal with as a black man.

By writing and describing how he (Staples) feels, the audience is able to get an inside look into how black men are treated and better understand why society’s teachings, play a vital role in how we see each other. Staples’ powerful writing also allows the reader to take a step back and see how as a society, people make judgements on others based on appearance alone.

These moments also show exploitation and opportunity hoarding. The Help also explains historical context of the inequality that occurred during that time period.
