https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeiRjUMau4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeiRjUMau4

write a 4-5 page (minus title and reference pages) paper, addressing the following about your “core” and “flex” areas.

My Core: Identify and then describe the elements of your “core” (i.e., behaviors, values, beliefs). Remember, these are elements that identify who you are at your core, and without them, you are not you. What are these values, beliefs, behaviors?

My Flex: Identify and then describe the elements considered as “flex” areas — what are they? How are these “flex” attributes displayed in your behavior, values and beliefs? Remember, these are elements of your behaviors, values and beliefs, in which you’re able to flex, and remain consistent at the core, of who you are.

My Knots: Identify and then describe the “knots” in your “core” that you’re not very proud of. “Knots” are based on our pre-judgements. How might you take these “knots”, and in lieu of passing them on to others, either modify (untie them), or at least keep them to yourself, rather than imposing these on others?

Applying My Flex: Lastly, identify three (3) ways in which the practice of “flexing”, can benefit you as a leader, within your organization.

Intro and Thesis Statement Modeling

I have written a Primary Source Analysis for the music video “Best Day Ever” by Mac Miller. Now, I need to write a three-hundred word introduction, followed by 4 separate thesis statements for an argument related to the song. The main goal is for the thesis statements to be “my own” idea, and not an idea given by the video. In other words, I need ideas that stem from the video. I am attaching the assignment sheet and three example papers.

If He Hollers, Let Him Go

Answer one of the following questions clearly, directly, and completely. Be sure to quote and analyze specific passages from the course readings to support your answer.

1. In If He Hollers, Let Him Go, the characters often refer to the power of place. In many cases, they call attention to what would or wouldn’t happen in some other part of the country under similar circumstances. Give a few examples of this pattern and explain why this might be so. In particular, consider that pattern and the larger question of whose values would prevail in Los Angeles during a time of rapid change.

2. After one frustrating exchange with a supervisor, Bob considers returning to that supervisor’s office and beating him up. He then realizes that if he did, he would lose his car. “I think that was what made me decide that my pride wasn’t worth it. My car was proof of something to me, a symbol” (pp. 30-31). What does Bob’s car symbolize? Give examples to support your answer.

3. Toward the end of If He Hollers Let Him Go, Bob Jones says, “I knew that unless I found my niche and crawled into it, unless I stopped hating white folks and learned to take them as they came, I couldn’t live in America, much less to accomplish anything in it.” How does this comment contrast with his remarks at the beginning of the novel? What experiences lead him to this conclusion? Be specific.
