As I rose out of my sleep, my back was aching, and my neck was hurting from sleeping on the cold jail floor. Yes, a jail cell which I have no clue as to how I ended up in here. I get up and begin to pace around trying to remember what happened the night before. As I begin to pace around the cell I pull out a granola bar, which I remembered was my snack the for the long car ride I took last night, but a car ride to where? I reach deeper in my pockets and find a bus ticket to New york and remember the bar wasn't for a car ride it was for the bus I was taking. Why was I on a bus to New york? As I reach my hands in my pocket to think, I feel another piece of paper crumbled up at the bottom of my pocket. I pull it out and unfold it enough to read it, "meet me at this location: 129 BEAK DRIVE". This address was in the town I lived in, it is a dirt road with not too much along it. When I look down at my pants there is white powdery stains and dirt covering the jeans I was wearing. The night was beginning to comeback to me, I was transporting something but what? I begin to check my back pockets and find a brownish tan tape sticking to the inside of my pockets. It hit me, I was moving cocaine but It wasn't for anyone bad, I know I was doing it for a good reason. I had to be doing an inside job helping the authorities. I reach into my final pocket and find what looks like my card that was given to me by the chief person at the office of the FBI! I was doing an inside job and the bus ticket was given to me to get out of town before whoever I was taking the coke to found me. On the card that the chief had given me was a phrase to use if I ever was caught up.
Elevator
In the video the different people come in playing their music, white people, mixed, and then an African American man comes in and they all immediately turn off their music. I think the author's purpose was to maybe show us how people really were stereotyping an African American man. He came in with a speaker and but he put his headphones in, I felt that everyone in that elevator thought he was going to blast music. I think the audience is pointed at the people who still look at African Americans and continue to still stereotype them. Because the point the director is trying to make is that look they assumed this and he did the complete opposite. I think the first way is to drop the stereotypes you see how they became comfortable after he put his headphones in and showed manners, it should always be like that. The next way is to come together as a community if everybd=ody doesn't come together like shown in the video you get that everybody playing their own music. Lastly, monkey...
