Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel Leroy Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., on December 21, 1948. He was an only child and grew up with his mother, who worked in a factory and soon later become buyer of supplies for a mental institution, and his grandparents and extended family. His father didn’t live with them due to alcohol issues. He attended Riverside High where he played the french horn and the trumpet for his school’s orchestra. Samuel L. Jackson was involved in the Civil Rights Movement with classmates and alongside Martin Luther King Sr. He was suspended for his actions in this movement but would later return to college to get his Bachelor of Arts in Drama. He would then join the Black Power Movement. Later, F.B.I. would tell his mom that he would die if he stayed in the movement so his mother sent him to live in L.A. He went to college to become an architecture but then decided to major in drama.   After taking roles in short films he got into acting and starting getting noticed from other directors to be in the roles they had for him. In his early career he began to be an alcoholic and do cocaine. Jackson’s addiction began to be increasing that he overdosed. After rehab and recovering, Jackson began doing roles of comedies, recovering addictions, and thrillers. He started getting starring roles with Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction and in Jackie Brown. In 2000, he made Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones as Mace Windu.

brainstorming

Im going to write about Samuel L. Jackson. I am going to talk about how he made it to become a movie star and what he struggled during his life time. I want to know how he started and what made him want to be an actor. I like all his favorite movies and would liike to learn as in why he took the rolls that he picked in the movies that he premiered in. Im going to write about his backround, lifestyle, family, and what he is up to until today and what he plans in the future.

On Friday I was at home bored until my sister called me and asked if I wanted to go to Speedzone with her, her boyfriend, and some friends. I quickly showered and changed and waited for her to pick me up. On the way there it was pretty cool because we acted dumb. It was pretty funny because my sister thought she knew where it was but got lost and we laughed at her but then helped her find the place. Once we got there we bought play cards and won tickets and got prices. After we played games we went to the go-karts and raced. It was fun because we were trying to make one another crash but i guess we were all cautious. Into all the excitement we had found out that my sister had lost the car keys. We stopped playing games and we started looking for them. She thought she left them in the car but it was locked and couldn’t really see anything. We asked around and the workers to see if they found the missing keys but no one has seen them. After that we gave up and hanged out in the parking lot for almost three hours. My sister’s friend called her dad to open the window and he came and tried. He tried opening the window with a screwdriver and a slim jim. We tried to help but we still coulnd’t open the window or the door. My friend’s dad was trying to make the window go down with the screwdriver and he put pressure on the window to make it go down that he broke it. My sister’s friends, her boyfriend, and I were all shocked. We could easily notice that he didn’t care because he just left without saying a word and not apologizing. My sister finally had the guts to call my dad and told him had happened. So he told us to wait there until he came and called the tow truck company. My dad was furious with us and told us that we had to pay for the damage. The next day I went to the junkyard with him to look for a new window and we fixed it and we had his trust again.

My sister’s friend called her dad to open the window and he came and tried. We tried to help but we still coulnd’t open the window or the door. My friend’s dad was trying so hard that he put enough pressure on the window that he broke it. My sister’s friends, her boyfriend, and I were all shocked.
