Comparing Sempo Sugihara, John Rabe, And Sojourner Truth

The sound of people pleading to be let go, to be free, echoes across the nation. Some have more fight in them and others seem to have already lost hope, watching themselves and their own family be bound by chains. But, there are murmurs of new hope, a chance for freedom. This is the time that Sojourner Truth lived in, back when racism and sexism still had a strong hold in American society. However, like the others fighting for freedom, Truth kept her head up and battled it out no matter how bleak the times may have seemed.

In the documentary, One Survivor Remembers, Gerda Weissmann recalls her miraculous survival of the Nazi concentration camps. Throughout her survival, Gerda Weissman shows personality traits of courage, perseverance, and compassion. When Gerda Weissmann was fifteen years old Germany seized control over Poland and all Jewish Poles were confined to small living quarters of their houses. Gerda Weissmann’s ability to keep calm and go on living in that situation showed true bravery because a girl her age would surely panic and develop a negative personality. Gerda Weissmann is possibly most courageous when she separated from her family and has to go to Dulag transit camp, while the rest of her family is sent to Auschwitz. With such suffering,

In Sojourner Truth’s speech at the women’s convention, she expresses her values of equality and vigor to achieve her ambition of a egalitarian society which led to the growth of the American Dream. Truth explained how she was “never helped into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gave me any best place” (Truth 2). Truth stresses over her belief of equality over race, gender, and class when she was ostracized from the society. Because of her enslavement and position in society, Truth’s American Dream was to accomplish the abolition of slavery and feminist rights. Truth worked “as much and ate as much as a man - when [she] could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain’t [she] a woman” (Truth 2). Truth argued that she had an equivalent vigor

Being a slave was a common thing for African American people in the 1700’s. Being a slave could be a bad or good thing depending on who you’d ask. Some masters cared more about their slaves than others. Sojourner Truth was born in 1797 in New York and lived their until later in her life. Born Isabella Baumfree, Sojourner Truth was one of 12 children born to James and Elizabeth Baumfree in the town of Swartekill, in Ulster County, New York. Slaves of Col. Ardinburgh, Hurley. Col. Ardinburgh belonged to a class called Low Dutch. Sojourner doesn’t know the year that she was born, but knows that she was liberated under the act of 1817 which freed slaves who were forty years and older. Her first master she has no recollection of, she must have been a young child when he died. Sojourner and her family then came to be property of his son, Col. Ardinburgh.

America in the colonial era as well in the 1800’s, the country has been filled with a lot events and cultural bias. In the South, slavery has been a popular way of life for Americans for the production of cotton, corn, tobacco, and much more. Whites were owning Black men and women in order to work on the plantation as well as keeping up the Slave master’s home as well. However, as years pass by slaves started to become educated and starting to understand the terms of liberty and freedom, that America was based on these key characteristics since the foundation of the first colony of the New Land.

Their message has changed not only the several of months and years in order help the Black community but change the path America was going and truly developed the true meaning of liberty and freedom.

The ability to read and write is both creative and destructive. This ability opens your eyes to the world and how beautiful it can be. It also has the potential to destroy your entire grip on reality and expose you to the actual world you live in. It imprisons you yet, releases you from your mental confinement. Some people never escape from this confinement, some do; and those who escape sometimes go on to do great things in life. It pains me to say that I will not have the satisfaction of giving each and every one of those people who escaped or not the credit and appraisal that they so dutifully deserve. No, in this essay I will be focusing on three people, each with their own hardships and their own “imprisonments”, whether those “imprisonments” were literal or not; they deserve to be appraised. All three of these people contrast against each other greatly but, at the same time have immense comparisons.  For example, all three of these people are minorities but, only two of them are male. Another example would be, all of them lived in America yet, only one of them is still alive. All three of them have had their hardships but, all three have escaped their imprisonments.

Mark Twain and Frederick Douglass both have interesting ways of writing. There are similarities and differences in their writing. They each have their own personal preference toward their style, tone, and perspective.

Imagine going through a breaking point in life. A point to where it is so awful and unbearable. Going through life complications will and can affect an individual. Oppression can affect how oppressed people think, including loss of hope, making changes in society, and having acceptance.

During World War II, invisibility was more than just not being seen. Soldier or civilian, they were both made invisible literally and figuratively; most times even both. In the book, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, we are introduced to Louie Zamperini, an Olympic runner who is drafted into World War II. On a rescue mission, the plane he works on runs out of fuel and the engines malfunction, causing the plane to crash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Three survive the crash, including Louie. However, one man does not survive the 47 days spent at sea before they are found by Japanese sailors. From that point forward, Louie was invisible since he was excluded from the outside world and objectified. It was not until he was taken to a POW camp that efforts

In both the inspiring narratives of Narrative in the Life of Fredrick Douglass by Frederick Douglass’s and in Incidents in the life of a slave girl by Harriet Jacobs the respective authors demonstrate the horrors and disparity of slavery in there own ways. They both use their unique experiences in the difference facets of slavery to show a very complete picture of the problems and atrocities of slavery.

Harriet Tubman and Abraham Lincoln are two very different people right?Wrong they are two very similar and played similar roles in the Foundation of the U.S we know today,They both helped fight slavery in their little ways Harriet would help them escape to the free part of the states and Canada risking her live everyday.As for Honest Abe he would make convincing speeches about how slavery should end and then eventally ended it with the Civil War.
