My work of art

I read just finished reading Twilight and found it very interesting and it related a lot to my topic. Thank you. Twilight Los Angeles, 1992 is a playwright written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith. It is based on her interviews after the riots in Los Angeles following the Rodney King Case. Rodney King is a African American man that was caught on tape being seriously beaten by four police officers. After the four police officers were found not guilty the city of Los Angeles goes crazy and shootings, fires, beatings, and robberies start everywhere. In the playwright, Anna Smith’s manages to capture the speaker’s voice and emotions through her own body as if she was a live human tape recorder. I was interesting reading her playwright because I was able to read the views and opinions of many people and get their own perspective on what was going on during the days of the riots. I was also able to come to my own conclusions about the Rodney incident and the riots after reading all the different points of views. My conclusions are that after years of being abused by the police and watching how unfair the system was about the Rodney King trails, many people where angry and thought that the only way they would be heard is if they resort to violence to make a difference.
