This movie is quite unrealistic, although it portrayed a very important point that the racial discrimination was very evident yet not much people seems to care about it, as if it was normal, even the mayor did not do anything about it. It did showed how the whites in Mississippi discriminated the blacks. It showed how merciless and evil the whites were, they killed people without regret, and also without reason. It also showed how the community separated the black from the white, let the white have authority over the blacks.
However, this movie only portrayed part of the truth, as the whole movie only showed white men doing wrong things, like killing people, but all the black seem to be good people, that never committed any crime at all, which is impossible, thus they purposely only showed how bad the whites are, and showed the blacks are angels. This is a irony, as it is suppose to be telling people discrimination and racism is not good,as it sheds blood, but it seems to be racist against the whites, saying that they are evil people, which seems to contradict each other, thus it is quite unrealistic

1st person VS 3rd person
1st person vs 3rd person
1st person is to used when you want the reader to be the person the story, to feel, to think the character is saying. It can be also to limited the knowledge of the full story, to create surprises , unexpected events and make you feel surprise as if you were the character. This also can be achieved with 3rd person, however , when you try to achieve this with 1st person, it will be more effective. However, writing from 1st person can create a lot of awkward phrases, that does not make logic, as you are looking from a person point of, and only that. If you write things from top view, or other point of view, it ten to defy logic.
3rd person is good as you can change the the point of view you like, and you can choose what part of the story you want to show the reader. You can show the thinking of different character, and effectively compare them other, and you can develop all the characters very well. too, you can avoid a lot of logic mistake that can be made while using 1st person.

Compromises
A compromise means that when both parties or when both sides reach a mutual agreement or acceptance of terms, however, what they receive from the agreement is not what they fully want as they gave up, or in other words, sacrifice, part of their demand.
I think this concept or idea of agreement is very good, as it is very hard for you get everything you want/demand for, especially when it requires help from another party, thus it is important to give up some part of it so that both party can gain/benefit most from the agreement. This way, both party are happy and would remain in good terms and too they get what they want, which also means its a win-win situation, with some sacrifices required to be made. Thus I like the idea of compromise.
However, I think not compromises can be successful, as if one party sacrifices more than the other party, it would not be fair, one party may not have reach the maximum benefit from the agreement, thus I think when you are about to make a compromise with someone , it is better if the other party is in good terms with you, as they would like both parties to get as much benefit as both parties can make.

Picture Description
It’s a bright and warm afternoon, perfect condition for a picnic or sunbathing at the beach. From the top, it looked like there were hundreds, or even thousands or brownish- black creatures that have a resemblance with ants that could stand on two legs. They were either lying or standing on either the land or the water. On dry ground, some of the “ants” were resting under colourful mushrooms that grown out of the golden sand, some were moving around, as if looking for food near the water, while others laid down on colourful scraps of leaves, letting the relentless run burn their skin. However, other then the golden sand and water, there was a solid grey land, where there were beetles roaming to and fro with the ants. Miniature plants were grown beside the grey lane, and strangely there was also a mushroom growing out of there too.
Prejudice
Prejudice
Know
I do not know anything about “Prejudice”. I may have seen it before at some point of time but I do not think I have heard anyone saying about it.
Want
I want to know what it means, what is it used for and anything that has to do with it.Learnt
I learnt that prejudice is a type of judgement, based on first impression, which is not good as looks and impressions can be extremely deceiving , thus we should not judge base on first impression. I also learnt that prejudice can cause a lot of trouble, and if its extreme, it can cause riots and thus people die.
