The wonder bread riots of 2020

The book “The Great Riots of New York” by John Headley “Chapter VII: Flour Riots of 1837” documents the occurrence of new yorkers who had little to no food. to make matters worse merchants are now pulling illegal moves on flour taxing it up over 10 dollars so they can make a profit of the already suffering.The people then came together and decided that the only way to fight this to riot and steal the flour.this was only caused because they are being ripped off by merchants who only cared for they own greedy interest. Also the fact that the police were no help in the situation because they seemed to favored the ones with power that being the merchants.not one of them questioned or seemed to take interest in the needs of the working class.So its understandable why the rioters did what they did.they knew that no one would be giving them justice so they took it upon themselves to do it.yes they werent right to destroy building but yes they have the right to adjust there anger at those who are committing wrong doing

Candyman

The riot of 1935....was started by the fact that a young boy...of the age of 12 went into a store and stole a piece of candy from the store.the news went around saying that he was beaten by the store owner in his basement which caused a crowd of black residents to surround the store in anger. A woman was the one who claimed that he was being beaten in thr basement by the owner and when it was shown that employee was bitten by the kid it confirmed her ztort thus starting the spark for the riot. actuality in turn it was the rumors of falsehood which is to blame becuase the kid actually was apprehend by the police and later released in part the officals were unable to tell the crowd of what really happened...that being the real cause of the riot

Da struggle be too real

so..to better the experience of you reading this blog as in you the reader ..i decided to add a music video to the mix.not thats its needed but i wanted to try my hand at something seeing as how i have a extreme interest in doing work after 1am.most likely to help with having a easy through reading thingy as i will explain if you choose to ask me about this but going on to the point



                                                                     
                                                                       


so this book,may day...which is like the most funniest yet depressing book about characters who intersect in the story lines is of most interest to me rather then the usually "fight the power morals of govt" which honestly bores me


now i want to share info on what i like about this book really the element that makes it good and what im going to try to be serious on through the character sternitt.. which is the alcohol and the jazz.these two go hand and hand cause this is whats popping during that time.the characters get sauced(drunk or etc) cause he was trying to have a good time...but to add more..to escape something.he want to escape  his problems ,indulge in other senses and try to have a ball which is what jazz is for..when you listen to music at the state i speak of..you want to forget about your woes so you try to have a blast. jazz as very technically progressive as it is ...doesnt at all have to be in order or constructive.jazz can be very random,wild,crazy or frantic and that's how sternit goes on for in this whole story.it is not possible for him to have any fun at having a blast.the henney got him messed up but more so his problems are consuming him..eating him a whole.his problems are not allowing him to escape so easily.you see it when he interacts with stella as he cant even try to hold a convo none the less please her as she wants to be going back to about his problems.. as you see his problems..they have control of him..they have the wheel.he crashed and burned with stella so this now adds insult to salt on the injury....you know he mad salty right now.he tries to ignore it by doing hoodrat odd future wolf gang type hooligan stuff with dean such as being a meance,stealing,being loud,trying to have blast but it doesnt work ..you wanna know why...when people drink they are usually either trying to have a good time with friends..watch that sunday night football cause there is a good time to be had.but drinking out of sorrow of saddened state of your emotions will never solve anything.sternit realized this cause once he got off the effects of being in a altered state of drunkness and came to the realization of what his life was still an forever ,being "married" to a woman he had only wanted to "hit it and quit it",losing every chance he ever had with stella, and back to the point where he has failed himself as a person cause he is broke and jobless and lacks any skill to do anything..so he decides to end it....he shoots himself...whats very important is that the moment he shoots himself was the only time he gets control .through out the whole book as i said,,someone is steering his wheel for him..no matter who it is ..this was the only time he got control but sadly it lead to his demise as foreshadowed when he was told he is bankrupt.at the end he doesnt care about trying to better his postion,doesnt care about accepting his reality, all he cares about is taking back control..and once he had it..he took it


i realized i wrote alot

 "The great city lies trembling, panting, quivering in her wild, white heat of intoxication, excitement, madness, drunken and devilish pursuits of power, pleasure, and gold."(miller some page number)
Now normally...it sounds like a intro to a adolescent teen movie where these students are trying to have a good ass time in times square but instead run into doctor doom  and the sinister six. which sounds like a movie i would watch but that's not the point

What the quote from the passage is indicting is that there is more then just a city here. Its a city, indulged in its ecstasy of high unknowing to it that there is a epidemic running rampant and running wild because its lies engulfed in unawareness . This isn't just any epidemic that is spreading in the city. These are plagues of self interest pushed and motivated by its pursuits of vices which is afflicting upon the city as a whole. In that quote a word that stands out for me is the fact that the city is know as a her as if it is being represented as a female. The ideal  people associate a female are with words like faithful, beauty, graceful, kind, and etc. But what happens when you take those words out and replace it  with words such as "intoxication" or "drunken". The result is she becomes exotic ,wild, engaged in her on desire but the downfall is that she is vulnerable making herself open for any attack of any form or matter that can be considered an evil intent against her will and she is defenseless against these acts and all she can do is tremble and quiver in her exhaustion while the pursuit of vices have ran amok of a strain on her possessing the strength of power and motivation of madness . Which is the case and point of this quote i may add so dearly

(now this is the part where i have no clue to little of what i am doing here)

that whole paragraph of awesomeness right there relates to the second chapter of the book the destruction of Gotham by bruce wayne because that whole chapter is of a girl who is lost in her own self with little to no direction,she is torn up from the floor up chased by some wild evil wicked step grandmother throughout a city ..which presents itself to the reader as a hopeless place for her. There is no safe point for her to run to, nothing is ever what it seems and everyone is in it for themselves focused on there own self interest like the authority and the evil step grandmother cause they want to use the girl for evil intent against her will. A quote that stick and relates to the quote up top to me due to the nature of tone               and characteristics of unawareness is "This girl did not know whether or not she was being borne in the right direction, yet she could have not ask anyone in the dense crowd if it had been to save her life and would anyone had stop to answer if she had?" (wayne 20)
