How To Analyze A Scene In The Wire
Throughout this assignment we were asked to analyze a scene in the Wire and give an accurate summarization along with providing a quote to support our ideas. The clip I chose to base my paper on was time stamp 29.32 to 33.26 in season four episode seven. In this scene, Prez has his children return to class and begins to explain that they are going to have a computer in the class for special projects along with the usage of newer additions of text books.

This quotes helps in the argument where the corner kids do not want to be in a classroom environment. Prior to this statement Mr. Duquette told Naymond that he can leave class but not school, so Naymond proceeds to throw a desk to try and get removed or expelled from school. By Naymond deliberately provoking the school board tells us that he is willing to go to high expectations to be removed from school. If we look back to the regular classroom we can get the sense that those children are willing to learn and are excited about it. Unlike the confined classroom that the corner kids are being held in, there is a ton of resentment and disobedience because they do not believe they can get taught anything that they do not already know. In conclusion, based on the scene and the supporting evidence we can confirm that the corner kids are unwilling to change their ways and allow from knowledge to place upon them. We can also determine that by the corner kids being removed from the classroom makes the class more productive and several students attitudes have changed
