In Tim Seibles' poem, The Case, he reviews the problematic situations of how white people are naturally born with an unfair privilege. Throughout the poem, he goes into detail about how colored people become uncomfortable when they realize that their skin color is different. Not only does it affect them in an everyday aspect, but also in emotional ways as well. He starts off with stating how white people are beautiful and continues on with how people enjoy their presence. Then he transitions into how people of color actually feel when they encounter a white person. After, he ends with the accusation of the white people in today's world that are still racist and hateful towards people of color.

With an estimated budget of around $200,000, the first Mad Max was obviously primitive in its effects and casting. (IMDB.com) However, the movie, as of May 21, 1982, made over $8,750,000 in the U.S.. (Boxofficemojo.com) That’s an outstanding profit when you compare it to how much it spent. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, came in with a bigger budget at $2,000,000 and interestingly enough, even with the overhauled budget, the film as of May 21, 1982 had only made about $24 million in the U.S. In the end, revenue is revenue and it’s still higher than the first film, so it’s an improvement. (IMDB.com) Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome came in with a budget of about $12 million and as of July 12, 1985, the movie had earned over $36 million in the U.S. Thunderdome’s profit was large but only three times what they spent as compared to the previous films who made 12 times as much.

Disappointingly, up to today it has only made around $153 million in the U.S., which is barely breaking even.
Well, Matt has defiantly persevered through the lawsuits, tech changes, writers block and more but no matter what happens he just keep doing what he loves. He still draws his comics in a newspaper, and this is inspirational to me that he sticks to his roots. If I have learned anything from researching Matt its never give up he certainly didn’t even when everyone points at the Simpsons and says “that’s a bad show because it makes adult jokes and it’s a cartoon ant those for kids”? But, he didn 't care he keeps making his controversial jokes and shows how he likes. Maybe I won 't so stubborn and I will keep up with the industry then again as people get older they seem to stick to do what they know best. so maybe by the time our industry is making another pivot, I will have already had my time. I will just try to avoid lawsuits altogether. I have no need to go and make a bunch of jokes and have everyone on my back. He can have that one but I do like to watch the show and laugh at the hilarious

According to A Novel Approach to Politics “Questions about the very nature of reality seem to be common in fiction of all sorts.” Especially, The Boondocks, a fictional cartoon, uses satire to describe real events that happen in society. The episode I tuned into was “The Trial of R. Kelly”, which explained how R. Kelly won his trial and the views of the people about his case. In the episode, the people outside the court house showed different cognitive frameworks of how they view R. Kelly situation. In other words, the media made sense of the reality of R. Kelly situation in different ways because of the media wanted to select certain information. In this paper, I will explain how the media exemplified mediated reality and agreement reality in the “The Trial of R. Kelly” episode of The Boondocks.
