Remember, you’re writing (developing) an analytical essay. Submit your thesis statement in the box to the right:
John Singleton’s film, “Boys In the Hood” has the power to reinstate and transform one’s political sensibilities through the struggles, hardships, and issues the black community and its residents face by portraying to the viewer how the rich discriminate against black people and manipulate them, displaying civil issues, and police discrimination.
2. Develop three (3) topic sentences that articulate the major ideas that will comprise the body of your essay. Remember that your topic sentences should clearly state the argument or point to be made in the respective paragraphs. Submit your topic sentences in the box to the right:
1. In the film we see how gentrification is being used to destroy the black community so that the wealthy can benefit from them, and this is when Furious is telling the locals about it, portraying to the viewer how the black community is being manipulated, and this begins to develop their sensibilities on the sad matter.
2. The issue of civil conflict within the community such as gang murders and the crack epidemic can show the viewer how the black community has faced many hardships and allow them to see it in first hand.
3. Police discrimination is a problem mentioned in the film and it greatly effects the black community; officers would harass and even kill black people out of pure hatred and cruelty.
3. Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your thesis statement. Briefly explain in the box to the right:
1. The scene in which Furious is explaining the concept of gentrification and how it is tearing down the black community by forcing the people to leave their homes because the wealthy want to make money depicts to the viewer how black people are often victimized, and this shows that the film has the power to transform ones sensibilities (00:46).
2. In the scene where Ricky is killed for being related to Dough Boy illustrates to the viewer how sad life is for black people in America, and how our government and local law enforcement should take action. This scene has a lot of power to transform ones sensibilities because murder is the most barbarous action one can commit to another, especially if they are innocent and do no harm (01:30).
3. When Ricky is pulled over by a self-hating black officer and then harassed and almost arrested can transform the viewers political sensibilities on the matter of discrimination and police brutality by showing them in first hand how it actually happens
(00:47).

The problems that African Americans are facing in their community is extremely empathetic and should be fixed and taken into consideration. With no law enforcement correctly enforcing the law and civil conflicts such as discrimination and abuse against black people happening frequently, there will not be peace among society. John Singleton’s, “Boys In the Hood” has the power to reinstate one’s political sensibilities on the struggles, hardships, and issues the black community and its residents face by portraying to the viewer how the rich want to lower the black people and manipulate them, displaying civil issues, and police discrimination.
