connecting the dots

when I was first given the assignment i would say that i felt overwhelmed. But as we talked in class today I thought of how this subject could be linked to my writing. As Preston suggested the question: why do heroes always wear white and villains wear black hats; as an example in class I realized how it could actuality apply to me. Racial profiling and discrimination could be a decent motive for certain actions of a character, and since i like to create entire personalities and understand my characters so this might help me if i study both the history of profiling and the psychology of racism.
