Title: "12 Years A Slave" It is a memoir written by Solomon Northup, a free Black man from New York who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. The book was published in 1853 and has been adapted into a movie in 2013 directed by Steve McQueen. While both the book and the movie share the same story, there are several differences between the two. One major difference is the portrayal of violence. The book goes into great detail about the brutality of slavery, including beatings and whippings, but the movie is even more explicit in its depiction of violence. The movie doesn't shy away from showing the physical and emotional pain inflicted upon slaves, which can be very difficult to watch for some viewers. Another significant difference is the portrayal of characters. The book is written from Northup's point of view, so it is limited to his perspective and experiences. The movie, on the other hand, expands on the characters beyond Northup, giving viewers a more well-rounded understanding of the other slaves and slave owners. The movie also adds some fictionalized characters to the story, which may help to create a more dramatic narrative. The ending of the book and movie also differs. The book ends with Northup being reunited with his family, while the movie shows him being freed by a white savior figure. This may be seen as a Hollywood convention and an attempt to appeal to a wider audience. Overall, both the book and the movie are powerful and important works that shed light on the horrors of slavery. The book offers a more intimate look at Northup's experience, while the movie expands on the characters and events to create a more cinematic experience. PS. Bought my book at ₱50 only via Shopee. It’s a great deal; it still looks fine. #bookstagram #bookreview #bookrecommendations #12yearsaslave https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIdtWfSiP-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposted from @rzn_wale - The link to the full video is in my bio. Please check it out 🖤🙌🏾🙌🏾It’s very informative. —————————————————— REPOST AND SHARE THIS VIDEO is you agree with the message 💯🙌🏾 - - Follow this page: @rzn.wale @rzn.wale - - - - In this society, we are taught how to love, who to love, and when to love. In this country, the propaganda that is fed to us is “ #loveislove “, “ #lovehasnocolor “ , “ #lovehasnolabels “, etc. Are these phrases genuine ? Or do they serve a better purpose ? 🤔 Does “Love is love” to for black families as well? If so, present to us one time where black love is presented as “Love is love”. It seems to me there’s an agenda to separate the black man from his woman, and the black woman from her man🤔👀💯 #knowledgeofself #knowledgeispower #unapologeticallyafrican #letstalktruthshallwe #mindsettlements #RZNwale #blackconsciousness #blacklove #blackpower #blackunity #blackloveisdivine #lupitanyongo #12yearsaslave #interracialcouple #interracialsex #swirling #mixedbabies #lovehasnoboundaries #swirlinglove https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXGFdOHuBAPaEyRtKs0-17yX2G8gUzS2AR_Wg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13zq3zvgeu0fo

I haven’t posted this one yet, but it’s a short one! A little progression video for my recent graphite @mssarahcatharinepaulson freehand graphite sketch. The flipbook style app I used changed how they make pic transitions and I kind of hate it. Anyone recommend a good flipbook app?? #sarahpaulson #glass #downwithlove #glassmovie #oceans8 #12yearsaslave #gallery #art #lumograph #STAEDTLER #wethair #draw #drawing #freehand #instaart #artcollective #artnerd #creative #pencil #pencils #portrait #pencildrawing #sketch #artistsoninstagram #inspiration #graphite #etsy #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWE8JynDg-/?igshid=1ei9xz1yk9idd
