One of the biggest mysteries in Bendy and the Machine Chapter 3 is the collage

of cartoon characters that we can see in the safe house at the beginning of the

game. In this video, I will give two things this could mean and some reasons

for them (hinting to Bendy Chapter 4). So, if you're interested in understanding what this is all about,

then be sure to watch this video all the way through.

The first thing that this collage could mean is Joey Drew's intention at his studio. So, we have to

remember: the reason why we're even playing as Henry in the studio is

because Joey Drew invited him over. What we found out so far while playing the

game is that Joey Drew did some pretty crazy experiments in the studio and it

seems as if everything is coming together based on Joey Drew's actions. So,

given all of that, that could mean that whatever Joey Drew was planning in

the first place has to do with this collage that we can see in the Safehouse.

My initial thoughts were that Joey Drew wants to create or summon some kind

of ultimate cartoon character that's based on an amalgamation of all the

cartoon character parts that he already has. Observing the collage very carefully,

we can see that it's made up of a bunch of different parts of Boris, Bendy and

Alice Angel. We can see that each of the body parts are from each of these

characters in one of their respective posters. What Joey drew wanted to do with

this creature is really unclear. We do know that the studio was down in the

dumps, not releasing animations on time and going way over budget with expansion

of the studio in the 30 years prior to the events of the game. And we also know

that the studio kind of resembles some sort of amusement park: it's got a merch

area and a bunch of different fun areas that people could travel around in and

have a lot of fun and experience some exciting times. So, perhaps this

amalgamation of cartoon characters is what Joey Drew wants to create to give a

sense of excitement in this amusement park, of sorts. Given what we can see in

the actual collage, I'm not quite sure how well that would have gone down. If

anything, it would be rather scary, but we do know from the audio recordings that

we've been listening to throughout the first three chapters that Joey drew was

kind of going around the bend anyway. So, we really don't know what he would be

thinking when making this cartoon. It kind of reminds me of the story of

Frankenstein who was created with a whole bunch of larger human parts and

many people think that Frankenstein came to life through some sort of lightning

energy passing through its body.

Maybe Joey Drew

is trying to do a similar thing, except instead of surging lightning through its

body, he's going to surge ink through the body. This fits in with what we saw in

the beginning of the game and in Chapter Three with all of the cartoon corpses

lying upright on tables with ink pipes coming out of them (although we've only

seen one ink pipe connected to an ink source in Chapter One, to my knowledge). The

other ones are just sitting around in a pool of ink or around a pool of ink.

For those who can't quite remember the ones I'm referring to other ones near

Alice Angel's quarters. Speaking of Alice,

Angel, the second thing that this could represent is Alice angels intention for

herself. So, we do remember that Alice Angel was collecting a whole bunch of

cartoons in order to find the perfect ones to make herself perfect. So, maybe...

just maybe... this collage is representing what Alice Angel is trying to do with

all the perfect cartoons around her - which would be using them with herself.

Remember in Chapter One again with that Boris corpse lying on the table

connected to the ink pipe, he was missing a heart with his chest ripped open. So, if

that was a perfect Boris, then Alice Angel could have killed this Boris in

order to harvest its heart for herself. We've also seen Alice Angel go after

other characters, such as the Butcher Gang (Piper, Striker and Fisher) so she does need more than just a

heart. With the Butcher Gang we've seen that she might actually be trying to

collect the eyes of Piper, the arms and mouth of Striker, and perhaps the neck of

Fisher. This is just my early observation - this could be completely

wrong, but they are my first guesses. We also don't know what she needs in terms

of internal organs other than with Boris and the hearts. She collects the thick

ink of the searches to keep herself together. If anything, we definitely know

for sure that Alice Angel really wants the ink hearts of the Butcher Gang, as

that is our final mission in Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 3. So, it's entirely

possible that all she wants from all of the perfect cartoons are their hearts.

This collage that we can see on the wall of the Safehouse is just a

representation of Alice Angel collecting the hearts of different characters -

although, we've only seen evidence of her trying to go after Boris and the Butcher

Gang rather than Bendy (who she's deadly afraid of) and Alice Angel (who she is the

only copy of that we've seen so far). Though I have said in previous theories

that Alice Angel might actually be trying to power up the second ink machine to

create more ink cartoons to have a better chance

to create a perfect toon - and in that theory, I mentioned that it's not

entirely unlikely that every time you power on the ink machine you create a

different cartoon. So, Alice may be trying to constantly create cartoons to get the

right ones and also have a chance at getting the right perfect ones. And the

ones who don't make the cut - well... they get cut. Of course, we all know the

purpose of this is for Alice Angel to achieve perfection (that is her true goal

in the game). So, whether we will see this happen or not is still yet to be seen.

After all, it's still quite likely that Alice Angel is a human ink worker

trapped in an inky prison of a body, kind of like Sammy Lawrence and the likes of

Norman Polk (who many believe is the Projectionist). As a matter of fact, it's

entirely likely that Susie Campbell, who was Alice Angel's voice actor, was

completely obsessed to the point of getting back her role as Alice Angel to

the point where she, instead of Joey, may be the one whose actions affected what

happened to the studio in the 30 years prior to the events of the game. Tap this

video to find out more about that, or check out these videos which were picked

just for you. If you're new, remember to subscribe and tap that bell for more

bendy and horror game theories that actually makes sense.

Prodigies, at the end of it all, this cartoon collage could come down to Boris

and Henry being bored in the SafeHouse. I hope these videos help to expand on

how you think... See Ya!

Linux GUI encryption (2018) - Duration: 9:37.

this is probably the most user-friendly and the most flexible encryption software in Linux

let's have a look how to use it

hello everyone its Average Linux User

helping you to install configure and use Linux

in some of my previous videos I have shown how to encrypt the hard drive in Linux

with a command line

and some of you complained that this was a method from the nineties

so in this video I will show you how to make an encryption in Linux

with a beautiful graphical program

this program is called veracrypt

and if you use the encryption on Linux before

you probably know the program TrueCrypt

but it is not secure anymore

and it is not developed anymore

so veracrypt is an alternative program

which is actually based on TrueCrypt

so let's first install it you go to downloads

and you download the version you want to use

actually it is available for different platforms

you can also use it on Windows and on Mac OS and on Linux and even on the Raspberry Pi

so let's download it

after we have downloaded it you need to extract the archive

so I go to downloads right click here and extract here

when the extraction is done

you can open terminal here

I go to my terminal

and I navigate to my downloads folder

and then I enter veracrypt folder

here's the files we have extracted and here you have choice between

the command line interface and the graphical user interface

so we are primarily interested in graphical interface

and I assume that most of my viewers use 64-bit system

if you are using 32-bit system you can use this installer

so what you need to do your first type sudo

because you need administrative privileges to install

this program

and then you type the name of the program starting with dot slash

and the name of the program

enter your password

here you select option one then

you can press space to scroll through the license

and in the end you need to type yes that you agree with this license

so the program is installed if

you want to uninstall it you can just run this command

I will show you at the end of the video

so I press ENTER and the program is installed

so to run it you can just type veracrypt from your terminal

and the program has started

so Veracrypt provides several ways to make encryption

if you click on the create a volume you can see that you can just

create an encrypted file container

you can just assume it's a virtual folder

which is encrypted

and you can also encrypt the whole partition or the whole drive

choose whatever you want the principle is basically similar for the two options

so let's just create an encrypted container

here I suggest you to use a standard veracrypt volume

but if you are very paranoid you can use hidden volume

so this is needed in case somebody found this encrypted volume on

your system and they force you to reveal a password

I will go with a standard volume

here you select where you want this encrypted volume to be located

let's place it in veracrypt folder and call it test volume

click Save

Veracrypt provides several ways to make encryption so these are different

encryption algorithms I usually go with a default this should be enough for most

of the users but if you want you can read more information here

I click Next

here you define the space of the container so as you can see I have six

gigs free on my system so I can create a volume up to six gigs but I do create

just one gig volume

next here you define your password this password will be used to decrypt this volume

I will use a simple password here but usually you need to use much one key password

if you want to be your encryption as secure as possible you can

also enable the pim option this means you just need to specify a specific

number during the mounting process you can read

more about it at veracrypt website

I usually don't use it using just one

password is already quite secure

but if you want more security I recommend you

to use a key file

so let me show you how to use it

you just need to create a key file

you just click generate random key file

here you need to move your mouse as much as possible to create some random numbers which will be stored in

this key file so you can move it until it is completely finished here but for

this video I will just stop here in this field you type the name of the key file

and after that you just click generate and save this file

again I will place it here

so the key file has been successfully created now you can add it

here so we select this key file we have just created and you add it to your

encryption profile

now to unencrypt this volume you will have to use the

password and in addition to this you also need to use a key file to make it

even more secure you can store key file for example when you USB Drive and to

mount this encrypted volume you need to connect your USB Drive to your computer

and provide this key file to and unencrypt this volume

but be careful because if

you lose your key file you won't be able to encrypt this volume

so make sure you have a backup of this key file

it complains that my password is too short but as I said before it is a demonstration purpose

so my password is simple but but you need to use much longer password

in this field you can define the file system you wanna use

if you want to use this encrypted volume for different systems I recommend you to use fat file system

but if it is just on Linux you can use ext4 for file system

click Next and you see you have

two options here if you want to mount it on different volumes or you will just

mount it on Linux I will use it only on Linux

so I click Next and here again you

need to generate some randomness here by moving your mouse is randomly as possible

in this window

so you move it you move it the more you move it the

better encryption will be so wait until this field is completely filled

but for this video this is already enough so I just click format

so here you need to enter your administrative password

as you can see veracrypt encrypted volume

has been successfully created

now let's have a look at it

so after you created the encrypted volume you need to mount it so you select the

encrypted volume by clicking here

this is the test volume we have just created

next you need to select where you want to mount it just select the first slot

if you have many encrypted volumes you can mount them here and click mount here

you enter the password you used for your encryption and as you remember we also

use the key file so you also need to specify the key file

and we add this key file

so now the encrypted volume should be mounted

and here you can see where it was mounted so it is located in the folder media veracrypt1

you go to a file manager

to the folder media

and here is our encrypted volume

you can create a new folder here

as you can see you can place any files here

after you finished placing the information here you close it and you

need to unmount it

if you have several devices that are mounted you can just

dismount them all

now when it is unmounted nobody can access your

information without the password and a key file

after you've finished working and you dismounted audio clip it volumes you just click exit

if you don't want to have veracrypt on your device anymore

you can remove it by running this command

you type sudo veracrypt and uninstall

enter your password

so veracrypt is uninstalled from your system

Veracrypt is a great program not only because it

has graphical interface it is very powerful encryption tool so I highly

recommend you to use it you can create an encrypted file container you can

encrypt a whole hard drive or if you want to make your data very secure you

can also create a hidden encrypted volume or a hidden encrypted partition

just explore all the possibilities so you can make your data very secure

thank you for watching

Schizophrenia Is a Mystery, But This Discovery Might Change Things - Duration: 2:54.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that has been fascinating scientists for hundreds

of years because we just don't understand it.

But now we may have finally found the root of this devastating disorder… it starts

when the brain is forming in the womb.

Schizophrenia causes people to hallucinate, have a distorted view of reality, and experience

extremely disordered thinking.

Brain function can be so badly affected that it's disabling.

Symptoms usually appear in adolescence or young adulthood and while some research has

suggested a link between schizophrenia, drug usage, and trauma it's has never been well

understood.

Because the symptoms appear later in life, researchers have long assumed the root cause

is a mix of genetics, brain chemistry and environmental factors — environmental being

your upbringing not the air you breathe.

In the past patients have long been misdiagnosed and mistreated, sometimes even being jailed.

But new technology has helped us understand what's really going on.

Medical imaging has shown that a patient with schizophrenia has a brain and Central Nervous

System that look different than an unaffected patient's.

There are hundreds of genetic mutations that might cause schizophrenia, but scans all show

affected brains share the same "faulty genomic pathway."

It's clear from mounting evidence that schizophrenia is a brain disease.

Armed with this new information, researchers turned to consider how that one pathway can

be consistently faulty among so many patients.

And they used a little mad-science-sounding technique: they grew mini-brain structures

in a lab.

Specifically, they grew cerebral organoids, recreating the first phases of human brain

development, using skin cells from test subjects.

Four of these subjects had schizophrenia and three did not.

The cells grew into tiny organs that mimicked brains in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

And the mini-brains grown from schizophrenic patients showed critical malformations in

the cortex, the part of the brain that controls things like memory, attention, and cognition.

The cells that become neurons weren't distributed normally.

The mini-brains showed there would be too few mature neurons in the cortex for normal

functionality when the fetus became a full grown adult.

This results suggest that schizophrenia likely starts in the FIRST TRIMESTER.

The cells that develop into neurons don't connect the same way in a schizophrenic cortex

as they do in an unaffected one.

If your brain was a computer, a brain with schizophrenia would be [to quote a source]

"improperly wired."

There would be only so much you could do from the outside to fix it.

Which is why schizophrenia is so hard to treat, and, it seems, impossible to prevent.

But knowledge is power and researchers are now starting to look at schizophrenia treatment

with prenatal care, drugs, and supplements so brains have a better chance of forming

with the right neural pathways.

Thanks for watching and if you want more science in your day please subscribe.

We're still learning about how our own brain works, check out Trace's video about the

giant neurons that could explain where consciousness comes from

Fun fact: The first recorded case of schizophrenia was in 1550 BC in one of the oldest Egyptian

medical texts, the Ebers Papyrus.

Recent Reads #6-10 [CC] - Duration: 14:55.

Hi everyone! My name is Frede and today,

I've got my next recent reads video, so I'm going to be talking about books 6 through 10 that I read this year.

So I read all of these books in February,

and like this wasn't planned to kind of actually be some sort of February wrap-up,

but that's kind of what it turned out to be.

Because February was Black History Month in the US as well as in Germany

I tried to focus my reading on black writers, but there are two books actually that were written by white writers.

But those are two books that I read like in the first few days of the month that I just kind of finished and

yeah, then the other three are written by black writers.

I didn't get to read as many books as I had hoped this month,

so there are a few that I actually got from the library that I need to return

some time in March.

So I'm gonna read them before that. So yeah, the first book that I had not intended on reading

but that I did read by a white author

is The Encyclopedia of Early Earth by Isabel Greenberg.

Now the reason I read this was that at the beginning of February

I was not in the greatest headspace, and I just kind of needed something

to yeah, distract me. And yeah, I think a graphic novel is really good for that.

At least for me if I'm not feeling great.

Yeah, something like that is great.

And that was the only kind of graphic novel that I had.

So you might be familiar with Isabel Greenberg from her other

graphic novel called The One Hundred Nights of Hero, which I've also read and which I adored.

This one I also really liked but I didn't like it as much as The One Hundred Nights of Hero. So I think

the title might be a bit misleading. You don't just have an encyclopedia like a page that shows you okay,

this is this, this is this, this is this,

but you do have a continuous storyline which then kind of weaves in other small stories.

So it's from the type of kind of the kind of book

very similar to The One Hundred Nights of Hero, but I just found- I didn't find this story to be as compelling

I think and that was kind of the reason that I enjoyed it less. But I think the art again is beautiful,

I really like the way that you have these smaller stories

and they're kind of stories that you're familiar with but they are still different.

I just really enjoy Isabel Greenberg's

writing and way of making graphic novels and

this one did the job it was supposed to do.

The next book that I finished

that was written by a white author was a book that I had started in

January and just wanted to finish and that was an audio book of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.

I had this on my shelf for quite a while

and I just kind of didn't really feel like sitting down and reading it, but because this is so old you can find a

free audio book online so that's what I did.

I will also leave the link to the recording that I listened to in the description

because I thought it was really really well done.

Especially because the people- like this is from LibriVox,

so it's just people who feel like doing an audio book and then they do it.

So it's not very high production value and sometimes you can get things that are a bit trashy,

but this one was really really good.

And I think the fact that I was an audiobook actually kind of kept me wanting to continue the story because I

enjoyed this, I thought it was entertaining,

but I don't think- It wasn't like compelling in the sense of oh my god,

I need to know what happens.

I just don't think I'm much of a fan of stories that are just revolving- like mostly revolving about relationships and

relationship drama. What I really liked about this was the relationship you had between the sisters

who are the protagonists. But in general, I think all the drama

just it's not for me. Also, I mean that's something is just from its time, it drives me mad

the way these people interact with each other. Just ugh.

And in that sense it was really good having an audiobook of this

because also the narrator,

I think she's actually American, but when she reads out dialogue,

she reads this posh British accent, which makes it a lot of fun to listen to

because yeah these people were all kind of unbearable.

One of my lecturers once said that Jane Austen is actually a satirist.

And I think that was also an interesting perspective to have on this,

I don't think I would have enjoyed it just for the sake of here's a love story,

it's all gonna like be well in the end anyways, and I know this before I even started.

But just kind of seeing this as a satire of this sort of time and those

posh people.

That was really enjoyable, so I thought it was fun, but I don't think

I would say that this was amazing.

And now we're finally on to my actual Black History Month reading.

And the first book I finished for that was another country by James Baldwin.

This is the third book I believe by James Baldwin that I've read and I think it's the one I enjoyed least. I

was- I think I just had wrong expectations going into this.

Because while I was reading it there was some things that I thought hm nah,

but now that it's been about two weeks or something since I finished it

I'm like it was actually a pretty good book. So basically in this book, you don't have a lot of plot,

it's just very focus on the characters. You have a set of characters in New York

and I believe the 50s and

they all kind of go about their lives.

You follow them, you follow their personal struggles, their everyday kind of life

and some of them are in interracial relationships

Which I think that was kind of

what bothered me in the way it was written. Because you had

mostly the perspectives of the white characters in this.

There's one one male character who is white and he's dating a black woman. And

you never got her perspective. I mean she did say a lot of things and she was very vocal about the way

she's experiencing this relationship and kind of the racism

she's experiencing.

But you never saw it through her eyes whereas you saw her through the guy's eyes a lot and in some parts

I think it was just okay, they're in a relationship of course you're attracted to your partner. But in some parts

I found it a bit uncomfortably exoticising.

Just kind of this- and I think the fact that you only had this white gaze

and you didn't have a perspective that went against that was just- it

just- it just kind of made me comfortable. Ever since I finished it

I feel like maybe this was supposed to be read like that.

And maybe you were supposed to be uncomfortable with it.

Because obviously it kind of reflects the way that in media at the time was written and I mean still today,

you only get white perspectives. And

Maybe this was written

so that you get uncomfortable

only having this one.

I don't know. I don't know. But that was something that kind of irked me throughout the entire book

But then something that I really appreciated it was generally the way all these characters were constructed.

I think they're very much felt like real people to me. And they were all kind of flawed in their own ways

but you're still very much felt for them.

I mean for me all of them but most of them.

And then also what this book did and I think in a really well way was kind of

exploring characters exploring their sexuality.

So you have a queer relationship in this between two men

and you have another character who's kind of struggling with his sexuality.

And I think this was done really well in the sense of you see the struggle,

but you don't- it's not like tragic. Because I loved Giovanni's room, but that was something-

It was a very tragic, and I'm just very tired of tragic LGBT stories.

And I think this one handled that part of it better.

So yeah, this one definitely has a lot of valuable things in there and

Diana at diana in colour made a video

where she reviews this which I will be leaving in description.

Because she's very eloquent in this video and just talks about a lot

of themes that when I was reading- When I watched that video, I hadn't entirely finished the book.

And I think it gave me another perspective and like made me pick up things that I hadn't really

seen before. So yeah, there were some things that kind of as I said irked me a bit about this.

But I think it's still a really good book, and it's definitely worth a read. But before I recommend this

I definitely need to put a trigger warning on this for sexual assault, domestic violence, rape, suicide. All the

trigger warnings basically.

But if you can handle that I think this is still a book worth the reading.

The next book I finished was another audiobook and that is Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi

Adichie. This has been sitting on my shelf for about a year and when I bought it,

I had only just finished Americanah, which I really enjoyed. And then so I picked this up

and then I didn't get to reading it. And then a few months later, I think right now

almost a year ago, there was some sort of

controversy I guess about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie where she said some kind of pretty

transphobic things and so I didn't really feel like reading this book.

And I'm not sure- I don't think she really ever

apologised for it or that there was more of a dialogue around it which still kind of bothers me.

And I had this in mind while reading this book. But I just really felt like reading it.

So I did. Basically in this book you follow 3 viewpoint characters

who are all in Nigeria in the 1960s. You have a teenage boy, you have a young woman and have a young man.

The boy and the woman are from Nigeria and the man's from England and through their eyes basically, you

experience the Nigerian Civil War or like the war between

Nigeria and Biafra. And you also jump around in time so you're in the early 60s

and you're in the late 60s and sometimes you jump back and sometimes they jump forth

and it just works extremely well.

And yeah, through these characters you you see how the war kind of comes into place and then the

cruelties and the atrocities that happen in this war. Which obviously, I

mean if you read a book about war, but I'm just gonna say this, it's a very graphic book.

It doesn't sugarcoat any kind of cruelty of war. So you have very graphic descriptions

of injuries, starving, violence, rape.

just-

I mean it's a book about war so it's going to be terrible and you need to be aware going into this.

But I thought this was just such a well-done book.

All the characters when you see kind of the world through their eyes,

you kind of really feel for them. Although the Englishman was

unbearable.

And then there are as I said two other characters who are both Nigerian, and I just loved them both so much.

But they are also written in a way that you see that they are flawed in a lot of ways and

so there are moments when you just want to scream at them and just like what the fuck are you doing stop it.

They still grew so close to my heart, and I really felt for them throughout the entire book. Also

there's something in this book that I can't really say what it is. But it pops up in a couple of chapters

and it's a bit confusing,

but then at the end of the book it kind of-

you understand what it is and then going back through those

earlier chapters is so beautiful.

And I love the way that- I love that she inserted that into the story. If you've read the book you know what I mean.

But yeah so I thought this was a really interesting book.

And also and as I said, I listened to the audiobook and the audiobook was fantastic.

The narrator gives every single character such a distinct voice

that especially in the beginning before the war starts,

she reads out dialogue

and you can tell which character is speaking before she says so-and-so said.

Which is amazing. And also there are a lot of Igbo words

in their dialogues obviously because you are in Nigeria

and most of the Nigerian characters that you have are Igbo people.

So that's the language they speak and

that was something I experienced when I read Americanah that it didn't throw me off,

but it was sometimes confusing because I thought how do I read this in my head,

I have no idea how this is pronounced.

And having someone read this to me and just like hearing it's pronounced like that was really nice

and I think this really added something to my experience of the story.

I really enjoyed the audiobook.

And if you've got like access to the audiobook of this with like your library or audible or anything else,

I would really recommend

listening to this because that was fantastic. So yeah, that's basically everything I have to say about this book.

It was heartbreaking in some parts,

it was heartwarming in other parts.

and I just really really enjoyed it.

And the last book for this video is In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens by Alice Walker.

So this is an essay collection with different essays, also I think excerpts from interviews,

a couple of speeches,

from a time span of about ten years that Alice Walker wrote.

And it's difficult to kind of sum up what this is about,

because there are so many different topics she talks about. But basically

she talks a lot about art. She talks a lot about like different writers, especially black writers.

She loves Zora Neale Hurston, so there are a couple of essays dedicated to her and her life. There are

chapters where she talks about her own craft and the way some of the things she wrote went.

There are essays about the Civil Rights Movement, there are essays about what it's like to experience

life as a black woman and the American South.

There are also just very personal essays where she talks about different things

she's experienced in her life. It's a very broad

collection and she talks about so many different things

and you never really know what you can expect with every new essay that you start. And I really loved this.

I think she gives you so many insights into so many things.

I love having artists speak about the way they write,

about their experience of creating something and that was something you had with this. She also

talks about so many writers, especially black writers and especially black female writers.

So after those essays where she does that my

my lists- my Goodreads to-read list where I just put everything that I want to read at some point in my

life just grew substantially. [laughs]

Also, these essays were all written in the late 60s and the 70s and the early 80s,

so there are some things that now we

have people looking back on and saying okay, this was like this, this was like this.

But here you really have essays from the time this was happening, and I thought that was very interesting. Also

she just gave me very interesting perspectives that are very different from my own,

because this was just based on so many different

experiences. The only point that I would criticise about it is

that I was kind of missing some structure. Because her essays just started

with something and then she went on, got you another topic kind of and then suddenly she ended.

And it was like okay?

So I like having structure,

and this one doesn't have a

conventional structure. And that just kind of threw me off a bit. That was kind of-

That's kind of the only point that I think I would criticise about it.

There were some essays where didn't really get the point of them, but

that's where you will have with every kind of essay collection.

And I still think they were interesting for the insight they gave. So yeah,

I really enjoyed reading this and if you're interested in Alice Walker as a person,

and her writing, and other black authors, and

the Civil Rights Movement,

all those things that I just talked about.

I would really recommend this. So these were the five books that I had to talk about today.

If you've read any of these books please do tell me what you thought of them. Also

just do tell me what you've read recently and what you enjoyed and thank you for watching this video,

I will hopefully see you my next one. Bye!
