Ishmael Brown Capstone

Posted by Ishmael Brown in Capstone · Giknis · Wed on
​My capstone is a combination of a lot of things. I had many discussions leading up into a sort of "grand finale" discussion. These included sit downs with teachers, sit downs with students, and sit downs with some of the most politically inclined people that I could find in my own life. Everyday I went out and seeked to close the gap in between myself and the world of politics, while, sometimes annoyingly, educating my peers. The last discussion took the form of a presentation to all of my classmates in my block for my history class, which was mostly a success, outside of a few minor things. To give it a place to live, I gave it a website, which I got the idea to also equip with a specialized central for people, who may not be so informed, to slowly be able to catch up in their understanding, which I was very careful with putting together. The name was made up as if to be an official news outlet, and is, in part, a reincarnation of an early version of this idea of raising awareness for politics that I had. This was a very fun project, would do again.

Violence in Sports

Posted by Ishmael Brown in Reading, Writing and Rising Up · Block · Y Band on

I recently went to Barnes and Noble and and I finally got a chance to read it, The Greatest American Sports Writing of the Century, by David Brad Halberstam. I open up to Page 6, chapter 3 and, again, I helplessly give in to that feeling of romance that had been built between a rapidly expanding 20th century America and the boisterous phenomena that had became of sports. It was the sense of nostalgia that was laced in all of the great stories that hall would include in his series of all of the epic moments in sports that I think drew me in so close. Whether it was the examination of the legendary Yankee batter, Joe DiMaggio, whose perception to the world was far from pure, or lone wolf tennis champion, Richard Gonzalez, who rode the path of victory in his lonesome. The presence of sports in America is a presence unrivaled by any other single entity of our culture in this country. Today, with over half the country in enthralled, it can be hard to imagine a culture living and functioning while removed from the values and teachings the games have instilled into us.


But besides this, we tend to find that the culture of sports is often one tainted by violent and rambunctious conduct. Often times we hear about in the news of violent riots taken place in cities after that city’s team losing, famously in 2012 when the University of Kentucky. Looking in, the world of sports can be defined on two polar halves,  on some ends it can look like one of the most beautiful and complex constructs of society, but through some lenses, can look like some sort of wild destruction and demoralization of people.


I sat down with a friend of mine, Kobe, an avid and a long time fan of football, and I got to ask him some questions of what he thinks of the behavior that has become of sports over its time, and what some of his experiences were like as a member of the community. What he came up with was this idea of relatability between the people and the players.


“You relate to them….the journey is something you can relate to even if you haven’t met your destination”


It is in the traits that we share with each other that draw and connect us to one another. By the senses of passion, pain, struggle, and perseverance that we can see in athletes that we often find in ourselves and throughout the challenges we face in life. A large part of the appeal of sports is being able to watch the progression of the individuals, of the teams, people who may come from similar backgrounds as you and have qualities that you have. The stories of their lives begins to resonate deeply with the story of ours.


When  answering the question of whether of violence in sports, the story factor is very important for us to consider. It is what practically runs sports, it is the lifeline. This relation isn’t new either, in other forms of media, we already see the same type of passion that sports fans carry with them. Whether we’re reading a book, or catching up on our favorite TV shows, we struggle to separate ourselves from the characters portrayed in the emotions that are involved with them. An unusual, but fitting example would be the popular YouTube series Video Game High School. In the show, teens live high school life in what many would consider a kid’s dream, surrounded entirely by the influence of games and building themselves into young professionals of the gaming industry. They quickly come to realize, however, the myriad of problems inherent of a school like this and we watch the main character, Brian, as he sorts his way through the typical high school drama while trying to rise to the top as a video game athlete. His ambition, despite the odds being against his favor in his inertness and misguiding surroundings, manages to attain the level of success he had always wished for as a child. Not only do we see the characters lows, but we get to watch him on the journey on his way to the highs. And, in that, reflection of our own personal highs and lows in high school. We know what it's like.


“You understand, when you first start playing an instrument, the cramps you get on your hand, or the callouses you get on your finger tips”


That’s the type of emotion that is triggered in watching games like football, this is the story of your favorite television shows, but confided into one dunk.


It's no secret though, that when looking at America in particular, we are especially violent in our culture. “On one hand, it isn’t even that surprising. We are a culture at war, on many fronts.” Between poverty, racism, sexism, immigration and a whole plethora of issues, we have become more divided than ever, with people with many polarizing views on issues has intensified much of our day to day interactions between strangers and friends alike. For example, in 2016, Chicago’s homicide rate was up by 56% by as early as May. This may even go as far as to speak for why 67% of the NFL is made up of black athletes. In a way, our sports has become substitution for hitting people walking down the street. It has become our voice in a voiceless place.  

With President Trump in office, there’s been a newly heightened fear among many of the American people. As someone who’s allegedly discriminated against, and taken advantage of a variety people of different backgrounds, it’ll be particularly interesting to examine and understand how the sports world will endure or adapt to this change in leadership. Already, in 2016, we’ve seen figures like Colin Kaepernick take actions against the flag, so what the next four years will say about his reasoning will be particularly interesting to see.


Kobe’s idea of the role violence plays in sports and what sports mean to us was very  interesting to hear about. It was particularly interesting hearing what he had to say, and in some senses, gives us an idea of how we should think of the problems in America.


In a way, David’s book is one of irony, because as he tells the most epic stories of sports, those stories manifest into many deeper visions of the underlying violence and story of many Americans everywhere.


Advanced Essay #4 A Lot of People Died Yesterday...

Posted by Ishmael Brown in English 3 - Block - D on


My goal in writing this Advanced Essay was to ultimately "wake" the reader up to a lense of America typically avoided and that there is little to no progress made on. The event that I keep referencing(where 6 people died) was really like an eye opener for me, personally, specifically when it happened, as soon as Spring was beginning to open, and made me sad to hear about. I do think it is a shame that this is the point that our culture has come to, but I am also not surprised, which I also hoped to express in essay as well. The writing process was admittedly awkward, to say the least, due to a combination of me approaching an analytically themed writing style that I don't often reach for, along with the nature of the subject, being one that I only ever mostly discussed in a broad sense, not considering how people died and whatnot and fitting it all into an essay that was reasonably sized. Nonetheless, I still think it's a good read, and still should serve its purpose fairly.


A lot of people died the other day. Six of them actually. There had already been over 40 in the city by the 3rd month this year, and I have become confused as about to which point the violence was supposed to become unacceptable. On the night of March 8th, 2016, Philadelphia had become a sort of war zone. Separate occasions across the city put Philadelphia back on the map and helped, once again, further define what it truly means to be American, that is, what it truly means to be violent. Even under our evident war torn history, our violently inclined present, and the inevitably destructive future that lies ahead of us, we still seem to be crazed with war. Even in the past year’s violence in American lifestyle becoming a norm,, intensity of gun violence debates and police brutality, still, a lot of people died yesterday and the question that remains is how.


This was premeditated. “In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over,” said Dan Hodges in response to the recent gun controversy surrounding the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, North Carolina. On June 17th, 2015 a man by the name Dylann Roof killed nine people in their church after a session of bible study. The church invited him with open arms into their service, and to his own personal ill, I guess it was ok niggas died. This is not even to mention the other near 13,000 who died to gun violence just last year alone. 36 People die everyday, on average, but still I take offense that six of them died last Tuesday.


Of course this in turn means that some lucky child had the opportunity to witness at least one murder a day on his local news channel that year, and perhaps one could see the irony that those same news channel would turn up studies of how violence in video games may be the cause of a violent youth. We use our weapons to protect ourselves, and 756 children were killed in 2015, they are understandably very dangerous, and it is ok. We like turn to terrorism for the blame. Between 2005 and 2015, 71 Americans were killed in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, and their deaths were not in vain; in the same time period, over 301,000 Americans died, to each other.


Our culture seems to have grown to romanticize the features of death. We must like the way it looks. It is on our T.V. screens, it is in our books, and the flavors of it, you can even taste in our heroes. As a community, our lust for blood has even grown so wicked, that you can practically smell it in the hearts of our youth, it wreaks from them, so badly so that it would probably take you by surprise if our future generations could manage to resolve a conflict without violence.    


Dr. Bruce D Perry, in his analysis “Why Does Violence Happen?” identifies that one of the biggest sources of violence is due to our detachment from others or one another. He states that “When we become more detached from each other and from common unifying beliefs, violence increases,”  he continues “ ..when we hateful ideologies to make groups or classes of people to be viewed as different, bad or even less than human, violence increases.” This would speak to a part of the reason why it is believed that, today, black men are disproportionately affected by gun violence in America; last year, 50% of the gun deaths were deaths of African American men, who make up only 6% of the American population. The ideologies that Dr.Perry presents are scary simply by their nature. It is an outlook that is especially hard for America to uphold and try to make more synonymous with its lifestyle, being that America’s entire history was built around the concept of otherness. In the 1700s we fled from Great Britain in refuge from a difference of vision with King George III, we enslaved dependant on melanin, we sought to take control of any country who did not share our values, we had been America since day one, and we made it explicitly known.


The last Winter had been a long one, but things were finally starting to look for the kids of the ghetto. The essence of Spring was so beautiful, I remember, you could practically smell it’s eloquent breezes as you stepped outside. I remember the crew had been anticipating the arrival for days now, below 20 degree conditions and being snowed in can not compare with 70 degree days outside and flowers we were promised. But last Tuesday, once again America had made sure its vision was explicitly seen. Why am I surprised to wake to hearing the words “a lot of people died yesterday in Philadelphia,” from the local news this morning. Six of them actually.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Posted by Ishmael Brown in English 2 - Pahomov - E on
​

“Ind whaat jid ju du?

A sudden pause into awkwardness and then resume back into the lady with orange hair, whose name at this time I do not yet know, seeming unusually curious about who this me,  she knows as a stranger, is.


She turned her head fast enough for me to notice her hair swing and her question was posed to me even before her eyes met mine.


As I could sense, my mom gave me a serious doubtful, worrying look, telling me that “I’d better get these words out if I know what’s best for me.”


Without turning my head I move my eyes out of the direction of the lady and towards my mom, searching for wisdom through her expressions.


She attempts to mouth the words over to me, I wished she would have actually spoke these words, as whatever it is she tried to tell me, I did not understand.


“ Ju herd me? I say what jid ju du?”


“I uh...I live with her,  in Phili-Philadelphia, you know because she is my mom.” Sure that I answered her question pretty spot on I attempt to start a quick session of laughter up.


“What?! No what ju do? What ju...how ju did?

My mouth went slightly agape as I slowly tried to blow some type of response out of my mouth. There was no hope. The woman’s accent was too strong to understand, it was incomprehensible, this short lived conversation came to a fast and sad death. With her tolerance level reaching the lowest level and me killing some of her confidence, I decided enough was enough. I figured that now, the best thing would be to resort back to the language that my mother taught me, and what I believe every human that exists, and has existed speaks, Body Language.


My mouth, slightly agape, and with my heightening eyebrows, shaking head and guessing face, I told her that I was unsure about what she said.


My mom shakes her head in disappointment.


The orange hair lady silently, approvingly nodding her head but in a disapproving manner, as if she knew from the beginning of my incompetence. She took to head turns above me, to the left then to the right and spotted something that would give her the opportunity to leave. She slowly turned away and began stepping as if to say either that we are somewhere under her or that, at least, the situation had gotten too awkward for her to take part in further. And though this was how she walked, I got the strange sense that we were both somewhat relieved to have ended this conversation.


There’s multiple layers to Body Language, though words tend to have their own days of complexity, Body Language is an entirely different book, there’s different rules, different meanings. A yawn in your 3rd period class is different than a yawn at midnight, trying to type up a paper. If you can learn anything from a person by them just opening their mouths, then Body Language is going to give you an entire backstory on a person, or people I should say. With this in mind I’m feeling out everyone’s handshake, actions speak louder than words.


My mom then took a step closer to me and gave me a firm slap on the head. She told me to “ Act like you got some sense,” or some similar phrase she could use to demonstrate her anger towards me, the words I felt redundant because she had already sent her feelings through with the slap. Apparently this lady was her co worker, really high up in the workplace and had such a relationship with the boss that she could bring some notice to my mom and maybe put a good word in for her. Her techniques were pretty sad and desperate, if you were to ask me, but I didn’t care for long as I remembered well she did walk away from the conversation. We talked about what happened for a bit, then I decided I’d take a break and let my mom try to sell herself elsewhere. The fruit punch dispenser seemed might inviting, and by it was a bench that I could sit down on, so this is where I would spend the next while.

I set back, slouched and relaxed, drinking fruit punch in my suit, watching my mom making her way into the next conversation, this one seemed to be going well.  I took my eyes off of her gazed around at the others in this work-party-event and how their conversations were going, these well too. They all worked together for years, so they all pretty muched knew each other, one another’s lifestyle, story, about their family and what not, so each conversation seemed genuine, and “active.” They were practically dancing, in my eyes, everyone moving their arms about and describing…

“He’s this big now…”

I heard a woman yell out, it was funny watching how people socialized using their bodies, I began to study to see how, but I fell right to sleep, with the fruit punch still between my hands.

“What joins all languages, and all men, is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, outwit death…” these were the words that began my dream. “People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances…”


I dream of dolphins. A pack of dolphins swimming together, they’re in search of a meal. They realize that hunting as an individual is not a viable tactic for any of them, their prey will easily escape their reach, I watched by on the sideline, as I did with the people in this event tonight. I observed the pack surround a school of fish. The dolphins use a language of their own, with clicks and ultrasounds and slowly, but surely, the dolphins found what is is they wanted.


“There have been, and are, times, and places, when to speak a certain language can be dangerous, even fatal,” the voice said to me, I was unaware of who the voice was, and had no time to identify it, the scene shifted, as dreams do.


I’m now observing hornets. Personally I hate hornets and am usually terrified by them, but at this particular moment I grew a bit of sympathy for them. Humans are fairly destructive creatures by their nature, and my dream instinct told me immediately they were here to build, and inevitably kill hornets. Little do they know, they had already communicated enough language to the point to bring out the Giant Hornets, and have the hornets kill them all. Hornets are very territorial, and to them, the humans sent a message of threat to their hives. I watched safely away as the hornets relentlessly stung them each one by one.


I woke up, disrupted by the clapping in the room. I looked up to see everyone who had been standing up “dancing,” now sitting, facing the direction of a projection of what had seemed to be a short movie or something with excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I tried my way back to sleep only had the time to identify the speaker as Mr.Cohen, he had been reading it to us, he read them from a passage written by James Baldwin, then in what seemed to be no time, I woke up again with another firm slap.


“Get up!” My mom sits down next to me.

I look up at her like it’s 8 am on a school day, the presentation is still going, so as I do in mornings, I took some time to think. “What joins all languages, and all men, is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, to outwit death...” a quote by James Baldwin, in his “If Black English Isn’t a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?” If there is a time when a living thing needs another living thing, struggles without it or can helped with it, language is born, body language is. This is the truth, James Baldwin. So If there is a creature with some type of intelligence, or some type of conscious, then it has used body language.  And from body language alone, you know who I am, or at least what I am. I am human. I am human and I do

Por Qué y Por Qué No? SLA

Posted by Ishmael Brown in Spanish 1 - Manuel - D on

Me llamo es Ishmael y mi apodo es simplemente Ish. Soy quince años y un estudiante de muchos estudiantes que ir a escuela en Science Leadership Academy(SLA). Soy en SLA campus principal así yo ir a 22nd calle, en Filadelfia para mis clases. Esta cerca de muchas tiendas igual Trader Joe’s Market. Es una pequeña escuela pero hay muchas personas en lo, hay sobre quinientos estudiantes, treinta y tres profesores en cinco niveles. Hay cinco niveles pero tenemos sólo cuatro disponsible, es por eso que somos considerados un poquito menor. Vario profesores y estudiantes formar un equipo a crear bono actividades antes o después escuela horas, en general más clubs, como robótica o poesía, son las cuatro a través de cinco en punto y a veces los fines de semana. Nosotros también tenemos muchas deportes como final disco volador o fútbol que cumplir casi siempre depende del día, ellos conseguir día de descanso cuando es por ejemplo hace frio o está lloviendo. Yo participo en robótica personalmente, cuando tengo tiempo libre, me gusta trabajar en la computadora, es muy facil y divertido.


Dentro la escuela, sin embargo, yo tengo una total de diez clases.  Tengo el básico cinco, Inglés, bioquímica, Español, Africano-Americano Historia y matemáticas( álgebra-Uno para me.) Después, hay "B-Uno¨  y ¨B-dos¨, clases donde, en noveno grado, son optativas que cambiar mediados del año también, hay entre tecnología, igeniería, arte y teatro. Y como si fuera poco, nosotros también en los Miércoles nosotros ir al The Flanklin Institue(TFI) para ¨minúscula clases.¨ Me encanta almuerzo, es mi clase favorito. Usted sólo necesitamos estar hambriento a comer, es muy fácil. Usted lata surfear la red, hacer tarea o estar de vago y platicar con amigos. Hablamos y comemos. ¡Almuerzo es muy fantástica! No me gusta mucho álgebra , es muy difícil y a veces estresante, pero sé que si tratamos y practicamos vamos a estar bien. Para tener éxito es requerido usted ser punctual, estar preparado, trabajar duro y más importante prestar atención. Necesito la carpeta(ellas fuerza checar para lo), muchos papel y un lápiz o una pluma. Caculadoras son opcional.


Señorita Thompson enseña la clase de álgebra y ella no es el peor aunque. Ella es un poco habladora y de costumbre simpática pero por lo general es una buena profesora. Mi Español profesora es muy similar, su nombre es Señorita Manuel y en realidad los dos profesores son amigas.  La profesora tiene una grande familia. Tiene una menor hermana, un mayor hermano, sobrina, mama y papa, una cuñada,  muchas tías y muchos tíos y un bastante grande cantidad de primos. Ella es también desde el Esapñol habla país de Venezuela,  así es buena para a enseña Español. Una más hay es Ms.Dunn, mi Inglés profesora y bono es mi tutor para consejería. Su clase es más practical, que hacemos trabajo que implica el real mundo.  Me gusta su clases, pero trabajo puede ser daño usted también como en álegbra si usted no lo hace o al menos fallar sólo una parte, es loco. Sin embargo, no como Señorita Thompson, Ms.Dunn es no bajo pero alto y un poquito delgada y también con Vk, nuestro Ingeniería profesor. Él es muy inteligente, y hablador así a súper bien profesor. Él enseña nosotros sobre duro trabaja, él nunca dice nosotros ninguna respuesta.


Por lo general me bastante gusta  SLA.  Tenemos muchos clubs, actividades, cosas a aprender y personas a cumplir. Él plan de estudios es bien difícil, para tener éxito aquí, necesitamos a venir a trabaja, trabaja duro y hacer trabajo cuando se administra. No hay nada yo seriamente no le gusta en SLA, pero lo que más me gusta de SLA es el aprendizaje experiencia la escuela da.

The slide incorporates all the lessons(excluding “ 8) Have a visual theme”) in Presentation:Zen at least in some level. For 7)Empty Space, I left a considerable amount of blank background color under the text as well just a tiny bit more to the right for the hand. The picture then remains balanced because it almost creates the idea that the content of the actual picture is just among the darkness rather than a huge picture here looking forced and “unnatural” where a small light is found. Both are a result of using the rule of thirds as well.  In theory, using the rules of the third I would capture each main focus point of the picture, the object shining bright in the upper right, the text in the upper left, blank space in the bottom left, and the arm coming up from the bottom right. At an attempt to line the object shining and the text up with the imaginary intersects I had to move my text up a bit from my original location as well as expand the canvas a bit to move the object. Another thing with the arm you may notice, is its bleed off the screen. I decided that an image with the entire body would take the focus of the hand and what it is holding, therefore also taking away from the text and conclusively be taking away from the slide. The text did play more than one role in the slide too, singularly the most roles in the slide design lesson. The coloring was great, it fitted in perfectly with the image(shining light and arm) and contrasted even better with the dark black. The actual sentence cooperated easily too, for the image expresses something great has been done and with the background that light can be found in darkness, but that strays away from the topic.The typing was big, reasonably big, it is readable at distance and it is sure to attract your eye before the arm in the slide seeing that it is the main idea. As the main point it also needs something to support it, and the picture did, precisely, it was easy to understand and sensible. And lastly, it is hard to dispute that the arm and hand are relatively nice to look at, it captures your eye.

One of the main problems with my old slide was with my choices with the text. Due to class discussions I came to realize that with minor adjustments I can make my slide as good as it can be. I first went to change the color of the text, to match up more with the rest of the picture/slide. Unfortunately, the color I felt best matched with it was orange, but as you may know, orange isn't the brightest  color, but I tried to make it as bright as it could go, and it didn't mess up the picture at all. Kerning the text was also a great decision in the text, if you compare it to the old slide, you can see the little decrease in the space between the words makes a big difference. Besides blurring up that top right corner of blue obvious "cut off", a rather minor difference, the last thing I did was decrease  the overall blank space. In my last slide, the amount of big space was great, and exposes no pattern and also made the picture less "attention-straining" it did become a bit excessive. I found I could accomplish the same things even when cutting out most of the black space from the top.
