Media Representations

Who is being represented? The black community and what problems they are having.Young black men are being represented in this movie, which then became gangsters.

In what way? The black community is represented and it is showing what problems they are facing and what is causing the young black males to become gangsters mainly 50 cent.

By whom?

50 cent is represented as a gangster and every step that made him become a gangster is shown,and that he became the boss of the group.
50cent's mother is shown as involved in crimes and taking drugs, in order to get the money and feed her children.

Why is the subject being represented in this way?
the subject is being represented in this way to show 50 cent's problems and other black males' problems and the only way to become successful and get what they wanted is to take drugs, get involved in crimes.
it is mainly showing the problems that 50Cent faced in his life and what steps he took in order to become a worldwide famous rapper,after having faced many problems, he found the only solution that will make him rich and successful is to become a singer, and becoming a gangster which made him start with his job.

Is the representation fair and accurate?
i think the representation is fair and accurate to some extent because 50cent's real life is shown and also representation of some black youths in the movie, but it's the opposite because not all black youngsters are gangsters and get involved in crimes and take drugs.
