Papers On Black Eyed Kids

The topic of Black Eyed Children, also know as Black Eyed Kids (BEK), is not one that I hear about very often. It is, however, one that creeps me out a bit just thinking about it. In case you haven’t heard about BEK’s, which I 'm sure you have, they are described as paranormal creatures, possibly alien-human hybrids, resembling children between the ages of 6 and 16. Their skin is generally pale and eyes are solid black with no pupil or iris. The stories that I have heard involve them approaching your car or showing up at your doorstep at night. They try to convince you to let them in your house or car but, if you do, bad things happen. Embed video As I have said before, I consider myself a skeptical believer. I don’t believe every legend or ghost story that I hear. The legend of Black Eyed …show more content…

They love murals. In fact, there are 18 original, hand-painted murals throughout downtown. They are pretty to look at as you stroll through town, but one, in particular, stands out and has given me the chills since I moved here. Below is how it is described on the website: “Scouting through Time (317 Washington Street) - “Kids Throughout the Decades” is the theme four local Girl Scout troops selected for this mural that served as their Gold Award Project. The scrapbook-style mural features pictures that show how kids lived and played during the 1800s through the 1930s. All of the photos have special significance in the history of the Girl Scouts.” If you take a closer look at this mural you will notice that for some reason, most of them have black eyes. Why? Beats me!! Maybe the artist just wasn 't good at painting eyes. I don 't know, but it seems a little weird to have a mural of Black Eyed Children in the middle of a small town. If anybody else from Chillicothe happens to know a backstory on this, please let me know. If I find more information, I will definitely do a follow-up

    In Frank Romero's mural "Going to the Olympics,1984" what you see is various of colorful cars on the freeway or road and on top of the car there are hearts on each one. The possible meaning of it is because everyone does love their cars. Also in the image there is a blimp that says "A Good Year" mostly because it was related to the olympics or a form of advertisment. You also see some wrestlers, and a iron. The wrestlers I would say that represent the olympics and the iron is a flying iron back then was used as a spaceship in the movies as i was told.

  • Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria Summary

    765 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the first chapter of Beverly Tatum’s, “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?”, And Other Conversations About Race, the author immediately clarifies that racism is not a thing of the past. People in today’s society are merely raised with racial concepts at such a young age that they do not realize the injustice going on around them. She reinforces her statement by showing an example of a group of preschoolers who were told to draw a picture of a Native American. Most of the children didn’t even know what a Native American was, but after being told to draw an Indian, complied. Recurring elements in all of their drawings were feathers, along with a violent weapon, such as a knife.

    Growing Up Black: Then and Now During the time in which this book was written, Black Boy by Richard Wright, the separate but equal doctrine instilled by Jim Crow laws were booming. Under Jim Crow, anything that could be done by anyone seemed to be under the analysis of laws to be abided by. For example, it became apparent in Louisiana that whites and blacks could not buy or consume alcohol on the same premises and if it were done, one could be charged with a misdemeanor and given a fine ranging from $50 to $500. Another big issue going on was the idea of interracial relationships.

  • Term Paper On A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer

    1051 Words  | 5 Pages

    Upon completing A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer for a second time, I am completely convinced becoming an educator is my purpose in life. The first time I read this book was in middle school and although the book did stir up a lot of my emotions and was a difficult read, it does not compare to the effect it had on me as I read it for a second time as an older woman. Dave Pelzer wrote a memoir that highlighted the horrific abuse he received from his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother, all while living with his father, siblings, and attending school. The book expresses the torturous, unpredictable games his mother would play with him. These games took a physical, emotional, and mental toll on Dave’s life and this is all evident through his description of the abuse and his desire to no longer live.

    Being called “nigger” everyday was something that any Black person would face living in the American South during the early 1900s. Richard Wright wrote a book called Black Boy describing his life in the Jim Crow era. This era of time in the South caused Blacks to feel like an inferior race to the Whites. The Jim Crow Laws was a statute that the South put into order in the 1880s to segregate the races. The laws segregated the workplace, bathrooms, restaurants, and parks ("Jim Crow Laws.").

  • Identity In The Bluest Eye

    835 Words  | 4 Pages

    Morrison 's first novel, The Bluest Eye, examines the tragic effects of imposing white, middle-class American ideals of beauty on the developing female identity of a young African American girl during the early 1940s. Inspired by a conversation Morrison once had with an elementary school classmate who wished for blue eyes, the novel poignantly shows the psychological devastation of a young black girl, Pecola Breedlove, who searches for love and acceptance in a world that denies and devalues people of her own race. As her mental state slowly unravels, Pecola hopelessly longs to possess the conventional American standards of feminine beauty—namely, white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes—as presented to her by the popular icons and traditions of white culture. Written as a fragmented narrative from multiple perspectives and with significant typographical deviations, The Bluest Eye juxtaposes passages from the Dick-and-Jane grammar school primer with memories and stories of Pecola 's life alternately told in retrospect by one of Pecola 's now-grown childhood friends and by an omniscient narrator. Published in the midst of the Black Arts movement that flourished during the late 1960s and early 1970s, The Bluest Eye has attracted
