My situation is I need to deliver an English essay and I simply suck at grammatics... So I was wondering if someone could read the following and correct the most obvious errors...
I will very much appreciate if anyone cares to take the time (10 min or such I guess), rep and e-money will of course be given...
Thank you...

Everyone (have) prejudices it is a part of being human. Sometimes our prejudices (are/is) justified but in most cases (they are) something (we) fancy oneself, because of rumors and fear for the unknown. It is common that a group becomes victims of racial prejudices and that is (exactly) what happens in the short story “Scary Movies”, where the principal character and his friend Kevin discovers the Roxy Theatre. The Roxy Theatre is a movie theater specialized in scary movies attended only by afro-americans and the two boys (are/is) scared to death when they realise no one else (than) them(selves) present at the movie theater is white.
“And so, trapped at the Roxy, Kevin and I sat in stunned silence and growing dread. Flight seemed impossible. To Walk out the way we came in would have meant revealing our Caucasian selves for all to see. Surely we would be taunted, maybe even beaten.” [1] (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/#_ftn1)

Clearly the two boys (has/have) racial prejudices against the black crowd at the Roxy as the principal character state that they wil surely be taunted, or even beaten, if they reveal themselves. However none of the boys know nothing about black people except what they (have/has) heard in the news or been told by other(s).
“We knew nothing about our black neighbours other than the cruel jokes our parents sometimes told and the occasional spasms of anger we’d see on the local news.” [2] (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/#_ftn2)

The boys is a prime example of fear for the unknown they know nothing about afro-americans yet fears them because of ignorance, but nothing can alter the fact that the society is to blame since the boys just reacts the way they (are/is) upbringed (too). It is common for people to react like the boys do because of ignorance and generalization by the media, humans naturally find(s) it easier to reject than accept.
To the boys suprise the black crowd (has/have) no intentions of hurting them and the Roxy’s atmosphere persuades them to come back the next saturday. They are drawn by the afro-americans approach to scary movies which they find amazing, yet they do not want their parents to know about their feelings.
“When I came out I felt better than I had in a long time. We merely shrugged when Kevin’s father asked if we’d had fun. This was something we didn’t want our parents to know about.” [3] (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/#_ftn3)

Even though the boys definitely enjoyed the atmosphere in the black movie theater they choose to keep it for themselves, because it is unlikely they will be permitted to come back if their parents learns it is a afro-american movie theater. The boys symbolize a section of the population who does not (have/has) the willpower and knowledge to form their own opinion and therefore let others impose their will upon them, but when their horizons (are/is) widened they start(s) to rebel.
”We shouted and yelled and squirmed along with everyone else, the caution and reserve we’d been taught all our lives making way for this more natural response... And then, when you tumbled giddily on to the street after the lights came up, everything else in your life, girls and parents and all the bad news on TV, didn’t seem quite so terrifying.” [4] (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/#_ftn4)

Even though the boys starts to rebel, they are still not mentally strong enough to give expression of their own opinion and therefore uses the Roxy’s scary movies to escape the pressure put on their shoulders by society and their upbringing. In this imaginary world the boys do not have to make up their mind about afro-americans and can participate in living out their fears on equal terms with them.
But one day it is all over, the assasination of Martin Luther King changes the atmosphere at the Roxy’s dramatically, forcing the principal character to let go of his succumbing imaginary world and face the reality.
“The old man’s eyes weren’t smiling this time, they were cold and distant. When I asked him for my usual box of Goobers he simply shook his head... Suddenly, I felt too old for this. You had to be crazy to find this scary, what with all that was happening out there in the real world.” [5] (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/#_ftn5)

So scary movies is a story about growing up and form your own opinions instead of adapting others. The story also points out that breaking down prejudices require(s) lots of hard work and the proces is very fragile and may turn out to worsen the relationship between the involved parts if anything goes wrong. Furthermore you should not seek hide in a(n) imaginary world but stand up and face the reality as it will catch up with you sooner or later, like it does with the principal character in “Scary Movies”.

I think that is pretty much correct now

Thank you very much... I will rep you as soon it is possible... And also transfer some e-money in the near future

Everyone has prejudices. Being prejudice is a part of being human. Sometimes our prejudices are justified, but in most cases they are undue, because of rumors and fear for the unknown. It is common that a group become the victims of racial prejudices, and that is exactly what happened in the short story “Scary Movies.” In "Scary Movies," the principal character, (insert characters name here, unless it isn't given) and his friend, Kevin, discovered the Roxy Theatre. The Roxy Theatre was a movie theater that specialized in scary movies; attended primarily by African-Americans. The two boys were scared to death when they realised that nobody else, other than themselves, present at the movie theater was white.
“And so, trapped at the Roxy, Kevin and I sat in stunned silence and growing dread. Flight seemed impossible. To Walk out the way we came in would have meant revealing our Caucasian selves for all to see. Surely we would be taunted, maybe even beaten.” [1]

Clearly, the two boys had racial prejudices against the black majority at the Roxy, as the principal character stated that they would surely be taunted, or even beaten if they were to reveal themselves. However, neither of the boys knew anything about black people, except that of which they have heard in the news, or been told by others.
“We knew nothing about our black neighbours other than the cruel jokes our parents sometimes told and the occasional spasms of anger we’d see on the local news.” [2]

The boys are a prime example of fear for the unknown, as they knew nothing about African-Americans, yet feared them because of their own ignorance. Nothing can alter the fact that society is to blame, since the boys just reacted the way they were brought up to. It is common for people to react like the boys did because of ignorance and generalizations by the media. Humans naturally find it easier to reject than accept.
To the boys suprise, the black crowd had no intentions of hurting them and the Roxy’s atmosphere persuaded them to return on the following Saturday. They were drawn by the African-Americans approach to scary movies (this could be worded better...reactions to scary movies, maybe?, which they found amazing. Yet they did not wish for their parents to have known of such feelings.
“When I came out I felt better than I had in a long time. We merely shrugged when Kevin’s father asked if we’d had fun. This was something we didn’t want our parents to know about.” [3]

Even though the boys definitely enjoyed the atmosphere in the black movie theater, they chose to keep it to themselves, because it was unlikely they would be permitted to return to the Roxy if their parents were learn it was an African-American movie theater. The boys symbolize a section of the population who do not have the willpower and knowledge to form their own opinion, and therefore let others impose their creeds and wills upon them. However, when their horizons are widened they start to rebel.
”We shouted and yelled and squirmed along with everyone else, the caution and reserve we’d been taught all our lives making way for this more natural response... And then, when you tumbled giddily on to the street after the lights came up, everything else in your life, girls and parents and all the bad news on TV, didn’t seem quite so terrifying.” [4]

Even though the boys began to rebel, they still lacked the mental strength to express their own opinions, therefore used the Roxy to escape the pressure put upon their shoulders by both society, and their bigoted upbringing. In this imaginary world, the boys did not have to make up their mind about African-Americans and could participate in living out their fears on equal terms with them.
But one day it is all over, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. dramatically changed the atmosphere at the Roxy, thus forcing the principal character to let go of his imaginary world and succumb to meloncholy reality.
“The old man’s eyes weren’t smiling this time, they were cold and distant. When I asked him for my usual box of Goobers he simply shook his head... Suddenly, I felt too old for this. You had to be crazy to find this scary, what with all that was happening out there in the real world.” [5]

So, "Scary Movies" was a story about growing up and forming your own opinions, rather than assimilating to others. The story also pointed out that breaking down prejudices requires a lot of hard work and the process is extremely fragile, which may result in exacerbating the relationships between the involved parties, should anything go wrong. Furthermore, you should not seek to hide in an imaginary world. Instead you should stand up and face the reality, as displeasing as it maybe, for it will catch up with you sooner or later, just as it did with the principal character in “Scary Movies.”

I read over it twice, and there were some more grammatic errors, punctuation errors, and the tense switched up a little. I changed it to the past tense when need be because that sounded better to me when reading it. I also tweaked it in places, adding some words, and taking some out, with the help of dictionary.com and thesaurus.com - both of which are vital sites for me when writing a paper. I strongly recommend you use a thesaurus when given such assignments, I find it more vital than a dictionary.

get me my money!

^ already did :confused: (and will rep you as soon as possible)

And thanks for the tips Cuntface... It's to late now though... but i'll transfer you some e-money + rep anyways
