Orwell's Thoughts on the Baltimore Brutality

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/29/us/baltimore-riots.html?_r=0

As people in Baltimore attended a funeral for a fellow citizen named Freddie Gray who suffered a spinal cord injury from police custody. Because of the arsenics have started burning buildings, the police have had no other choice but to use force and enforce a 10 p.m. curfew in Baltimore. Brute "power" is being put upon the Baltimore citizens and has a negative connotation to the word. Police have too much power in society and sometimes abuse their rights and hurt the lives of peaceful protests, which makes people angry and cause chaos in the city. Police think its their down right duty to protect people and if hurting someone gets in the way of that, they abuse the right and overuse the extent of their power. The word power is also somewhat vague because it could have different meanings to the word and could confuse others outside Baltimore looking at old footage of the incidents in the city. The people are losing their rights to freedom of speech due to the lack of patience from the police, who started using the force against helpless citizens. Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said,“Citizens are safe. The city is stable,” he said. “We hope to maintain it that way.” All the words that Batts used like "safe" , "Stable", and "maintain" are meaningless words and show a sense of vagueness to each of them. How could the city be stable if massive riots are being dealt with by police in the streets and how could any citizen be safe if police are using riot shield control and tear gas to stop the havoc? Orwell would see these meaningless and vague words as getting away from the concreteness of the English language and that these words lack meaning. Orwell would complain that the NY Times need to stop using words for their meaning and more use of phrases that will put more impact on the subject at hand. Orwell would see the word "power" being used for its strong meaning and would see it as a fault in language and would see it as a word that is clear in order to state the issues in Baltimore. However, no word choice in this predicament could be used to shadow the racist brutality put on by the police and that the true meaning of words cannot be expressed due to the misuse of words and phrases. The problems in Baltimore could be evaded if the media didn't use poor practice in the English language to show the laws enforced by the police and hopefully the citizens in Baltimore will get this problem straightened out.

Stephen Curry for MVP?

All throughout the regular season in the NBA, two names have stuck out for the running for the MVP award for the 14/15 NBA season. Their names are James Harden and Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry has been phenomenal with his all-time scoring average and assists this season. He is one of the "SPLASH Brothers" and led his team to win after win and through the quarterfinals of the Western Conference Finals. Curry's magnificent play and smooth movements n the court make him one of the hardest players to guard because he can shoot the 3Pt FG and can slash and burn his defender at any time he desires to. He is a big reason why the Golden State Warriors have the number 1 seed in the playoffs and are in the position they are in right now. He is a much more balanced player than James Harden who puts up more shot attempts per game than Curry and doesn't play on both sides on the floor because he lacks defensive instincts. Also, being honored as having the most 3pt FG makes in the whole season and in NBA History at 286. I believe that he is the right recipient for the award. Who do all of you think should win it???

MyFrosty Relationship with the Media

Whether I'm on the computer, my mobile device, or watching news, my life is revolving around the media. I'm always hooked on to my phone whenever I do homework or whenever I want to jam out to some nice tunes on Pandora or just the radio.


I use the media to learn and study my favorite players in the sports world and to learn how they do the work and consistent play every time they play. I hear the buzz around the NBA with all the game scores, trades being made, anything that relates to the game of basketball, the media is there for me to hear from. Sportscenter and Sportscience is where I watch a 30 for 30 film, but with my busy athlete schedule playing ball, its hard to get relax time to watch the media. The media is definitely a big deal with its occasional pop ups of events around the globe and without media I'd be a lost cause. A boy trying to find himself in the world. With this being said, hit me a comment or feedback to your relationship with media and technology and remember Stay Frosty my Friends and I'll see you in a flash!
