Words are Powerful...

So we watched the Boondocks "Return of the King" episode.  MLK slips into a coma, rather than dying, and awakens in our present day (actually 2004 or so).  The man who had a gift with words and electrifying a crowd seemed a bit disappointed, right?  I really hope you discuss the episode with friends, family, and each other.  There is MUCH MORE to it than we even explored in class.  I have changed the Google Calendar to give you the schedule over the next 2 weeks.  Don't forget to write and submit your essay - email a copy TO YOURSELF in case you have difficulties and I can help you before or after school on Monday (due by 11:59 pm).  And use the link that Tenzin included in yesterday's post!  Arrivederci...

  1. I enjoyed it. Interesting (and a bit entertaining) to watch not just the show but the class..
    Anyway, I wish people talked more because it had a lot to say!

  5. You click on the red play symbol, and it plays...at least it does for me. There aren't any viruses, and if you're using firefox, and have adblock plus, there aren't even ads. Here's the link:
