The film industry considers the horror genre in cinema, especially in Hollywood, as a staple because it draws a sizeable audience that consequently makes horror movies highly profitable (Hantke, 2010, p. viii).

Mark Twain once wrote, “I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't.

A theme that encompasses all of these supposed oppositions is order versus chaos. The characters in Sonny’s Blues attempt to make order from the roiling dangers of poverty, addiction, war, and other chaotic elements of life in Harlem of the 1950s. However, Baldwin does not present chaos and order as ...

Black Music

What’s happening? Black Music. 1. (a) Reggae artist, Duane Stephenson

Duane Stephenson is a non-dancehall reggae artist. The reggae sound and beat are not the up-front of the sound; they are the foundation on which his singing voice and his message comfortably perch.

Stephenson’s albums may be too mellow and well, boring to some. His lyrics are strong so he doesn’t let the music overwhelm his message. He ...
