Model Harry Uzoka killed in latest London stabbing




A 25 year old model, Harry Uzoka was fatally stabbed in Shepherd's Bush last Thursday.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

"Police have not formally identified the victim but he has been named on social media and in reports as Harry Uzoka, who was signed to Premier Model Management which helped launch the careers of models such as Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer."

When the news spread about on social media many celebrities spoke about how they felt for the loss of the young model.

These included a fellow model, Jordan Dunn and singer, MNEK.

Jordan Dunn had described him as a "young King".

MNEK tweeted, "SHOCKED. I met him various times and thought he was always so cool. my heart goes out to his family. RIP.”

The online clothing retailer Everlane described Uzoka as “a wonderful model but even more so a good person and a pleasure to work with.”

Another fashion brand called London Fashion Brand described him as a " special soul".

Apparently, Harry Uzoka's death is the 5th death by the use of violence in the new year, as well as the deaths of young teens and other young people under 30 last year. 

Overall, I think it's sad that innocent people are still being killed for the wrong reasons even though it's a new year.

In the society we live in today, it has almost become a norm, that if someone has been killed as a result of a knife attack or shooting, however if it's a celebrity the news is spread via social media, but if it's a normal individual, the news will only be sent to the local news and not spread via social media so that others from around the world as well as celebrities can share their support especially with the individual's family.

As compared to other people who have been killed in the past, whether they are teenagers or not, it's usually hard to find the people who killed them and give them longer sentences, whereas, with celebrities like Harry Uzoka, the criminals have already been caught and appeared in court.

To conclude, there seems to be slight improvement in cases like this, in terms of the police catching the criminals straight away.

The story is from the Guardian which is a British daily newspaper that expresses centre- left views.

    This is well written, but maybe include more context and content and more of your opinion. How ever, this is sad, and although he is a model this has not been shown in mainstream media.

    You have included most of CCCEO, complete with comparisons of previous similar stories however, I think you should have been more specific with the comparisons by using detailed examples. Overall, I think this is a good post.

Analysis of the video: AXE Sunar: Welcome to The Jungle - Novo Amor

Image
At the beginning of the video, the screen is black and then the title of the video appears saying “welcome to the jungle”. From this I can picture a noisy and crazy atmosphere from the word jungle. From the word jungle I picture danger, unknown species and tribes. Then after the title appears a car appears drifting with making any screeching noises even though we usually hear cars making screeching noises. Then we are introduced to black men who appear in the form of the stereotypes that have been made against them such as wearing gold chains, appearing shirtless, in a gang and has dogs with gold chains. From this, the dogs look like they are precious to the owners as they have gold chains as leads and are there for protection or defence. Women are shown afterwards and they are being sexualised by the way they are dressed. The way they are dressed and the way they are dancing is provocative, which can be seen as them needing or wanting money from men. The colour...
