Movie Monday Part 3 +4

1. My definition of being successful is being affluent, and having a easy lifestyle. Also, being the CEO of a famous company wouldn't be bad
2. To be successful in the future, I first have to give up free time in my youth and I also have to work hard.
3. To become successful, Parks had to give up time with his family and chances of making money.
4. Genevieve young's father was the founder of the United Nations.
5. Parks was initially offered $5000 for his book, but eventually was offered $10000.
6. Parks was offered 0.5 million dollars.
7.Parks refused the money because he was sure that Muhammad would alter the final work of the story.
8. The Learning Tree was the first major Hollywood movie that a African American man directed.
9. The character Shaft was a hero for a lot of young African Americans because they could relate to him.
10.Gordon Parks' choice of weapons were film, photography, and writing.
11. Genevieve Young said that Gordon and her barely met and that things were not going well between them since she was unable to keep up with Gordon's busy life.
12. "12 Years a Slave"
13. Gordon Parks Jr. was Gordon's oldest son and he was also a successful film director.
14.My favorite Gordon Parks photo is his most famous one, where there is a cleaning women holding a broom and a mop in front of the American flag.
15. In ten years, I will remember about how hard Gordon Parks fought for racial equality and the countless sacrifices he had to make in order to achieve this goal.
