The controversial movie Get out is a movie that none of the public expected which worked out in the director, Jordan Peel’s favor. The genre is unknown to even the director of the movie even though others have classified the film as a comedy. From first-hand experience of watching the film, I can assure you that, that is not the case. Get out deals with racism issues e.g., when the main character’s white girlfriend, Rose Armitage, played by Allison Williams, hits a deer on the way to her parent's house with her black boyfriend, Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, with him sitting in the passenger side.

By putting this scene into the movie, the director wanted to address some of the issues that African Americans have to deal with from the police.

In every story one reads, one finds themselves asking why Shahrazad would tell such a story, what kind of message is this tale giving Shahriar, and why bother telling another story within an already enframed story. However, The Arabian Nights is not alone in its use of the enframed story. Works inspired by The Arabian Nights use their own enframing devices in order to alter how one perceives and understands the stories these offshoots have taken from The Arabian Nights.

My freshman year at University of Mississippi began nearly 40 years after the school was integrated. I tailgated in the Grove with the seas of people on football Saturdays and I walked among the antebellum-style architecture and magnolia trees without a care. Long gone were the days of the segregation where the color of my skin mattered. I was proud to be there then and I am proud to be an alumnus now, however sometimes when I tell people where I went to college it catches them off guard and some look at me puzzled as if to say “Why there?” For many people the reputation and symbols of the University of Mississippi and history as a battleground during the civil rights era are hard to forget. As great of a school as it is these negative
