MDIS Summer Assignment

Question: How does finding his father on the Police Plaza steps, waiting to join them on the march, affect Rashad? What makes this act such a powerful statement?

For the last episode of this podcast, I wanted to talk about the impact and statement that Rashad's father made when he showed up to the march and waited at the front of the Police Plaza.

Question: All American Boys is told in a dual first-person narrative. How would the story be different if someone besides Rashad and Quinn were telling it? Do you think changing the point of view would make the story better or worse? If you could, would you want another character’s perspective to be included in the novel? If so, whose?

For this episode, I'll going over my opinion about the perspective and narration of All American Boys and why a change in perspective could make the story better than it already was.

Question: Jill tells Quinn, “I don’t think most people think they’re racist. But every time something like this happens, you could, like you said, say, ‘not my problem.’ You could say, ‘it’s a one-time thing.’ Every time it happened.” Do you agree with her assessment?

In this episode, I'll be giving my input on the question above and how it holds meaning to both real life and in the story of All American Boys.

In today's episode, I'm going over the elements that make up comedy. These are elements are a key part of comedy and how to use it. Without these elements, comedy wouldn't be the same.

In the first episode of Questioning Comedy, I'll be discussing exactly what comedy is. Although it may seem straightforward, they're more layers than just something that is funny or makes people laugh. Comedy is something deeper within that relates to the type of person we are.  If you want to know more, then just listen in.
