Haiti’s political system in 1969 was very dark. They did not believe in women’s rights and many
children and babies were dying there like in chapter five when Marie finds a dead body and talks
about her miscarriages to it. Or in chapter four where a prostitute has sex with other men next to
her sons bed at night. I think this shaped Danticat’s life by making her angry. She becomes a
writer even though she knows that female writers can be killed and she writes about all these
tragedies and deaths of people. It seem as though Danticat has become infatuated with death and
sorrow. I think this is her way of giving tribute to all the people who suffered during this time.

Especially growing up in Philadelphia I
have been exposed to a more varied culture the. In some places and have seen many different
protests for equal rights in our community. I still think that like Haiti, this country is not fully
developed into a completely free and equal country but we are more developed than in Danticat 's
time. There are a good amount of homeless people In Philadelphia and when I am walking in the
city I see them sleeping on the side of the sidewalk or begging for food or money. I think this has
shaped me to not want to be like them and do well in school so I can go to college and get a job
to provide for myself and maybe even a family one day. I think this is a major thing in our
culture. We are pushed to do well in school to do well in college and then eventually get a job. I
feel like I have been shaped to want to do exactly this which makes me work harder and get good
grades. It also gives me some anxiety though. When I get a bad grade or go below the standards
of what I 'm “supposed to get,” I feel like my life is over. This is not true though. Our society has
made it so we try hard which is not a bad thing but sometimes you think, are they pushing to

Even though many of them died of plantation, the ratio of enslaves people to free people is still too high to estimate. The high death rate made people in Haiti to ship more slaves from Africa.
Saint Domingue was one of the richest colonies of the Americas during the late eighteenth century. Its extravagance resulted from their large production of highly demanded coffee, cotton, and sugar, which heavily depended on strict slave regime. Slaves, many whom were African born, made up the vast majority of the population and suffered poor working and living conditions. The anger of slaves caused the Haitian Revolution, which would lead to Haiti freeing itself from its oppressor and becoming an independent republic in the Caribbean. The Haitian Revolution created a profound effect not only the former French colony, but also acted as a leader for reformation around the world.
The Dominican Republic has undergone significant changes, much of which has taken place within confines of national and racial identities. The cultural significance of being Dominican has been centered on racial mixture and appreciation of Hispanic culture. In addition, the national identity of the Dominican population has focused and remains focused on the notions relative to racial constructs as populations moved through the borders from 1500-1800. In essence, being of Dominican origin has moved away from the African past of the communities, with construction and subsequent articulation of Dominican identity, which is expressed in terms of being mixed race, Hispanic speaking, catholic and deviation from African origin.
As mentioned in the textbook, Kollwitz was an avowed socialist who harnessed her great empathy towards her profound artwork. Because of Kollwitz’s preference for simple techniques and black and white coloring, viewers are able to directly connect to the raw emotions that Kollwitz presents. The forthright nature of Kollwitz’s art forms are markedly different to the grandeur style that was employed by artist at that time. Kollwitz’s simple style allows viewers to feel a more intimate connection to the work. Despite the early European impression that woodcutting was uncouth Kollwitz utilized the woodcutting media for an array of artworks.
In Kurt Wiesenfeld’s article “Making the Grade”, he address the issue that students want a higher grade than they deserve. He goes on to prove this be by giving examples of previous students that he has had and what can happen when students get the grades that they want and not what they deserve. In Wiesenfeld’s article he states that about ten percent of students that take his class do not care about their grades until final grades are over. “You might groan and moan, but you accepted it as the outcome of your efforts or lack thereof,” Wiesenfeld stated.
In our history there have been many wars, revolutions, and consequences to all of these things, such as lives lost or land being destroyed but it was all worth it when they succeeded and got what they wanted, freedom. Many countries go through revolutions because they might have been under rule from another person and or country and wanted their independence. A revolution is when people overthrow a social order or even a government and are in favor of a new system or government. The American Revolution and Haitian Revolution had some similarities and some differences and this is what my argument will be about, comparing and contrasting both revolutions.

Sarcastically Angry In Cheryl Pecks essay titled “Fatso” she conveys personal stories that have caused her pain throughout her life. Peck is an angry woman that has reached out to her readers to focus their attention to the pain she has felt since she was a child, and still feels today. I like the way she gives clear narrates for readers to envision situations, while using a sarcastically bitter tone to belittle the ones she herself was belittled by. Recalling a painful experience as a child, and how all the comments that were made have initiated her to have similar views about herself as an adult. When Peck speaks of a conversation with her friend Anne about a statement made to the gentleman Anne went to the fair with.
Within the period of 1750 to 1914, changes were taking place around the world. New empires and nations began growing and expanding their territory, and as a result of these actions, wars, bankruptcy, and rebellions became more common. An example is the American Revolution, in which the American colonists, who were influenced by new philosophies and the sense of nationalism, fought and gained their independence from Britain. This revolution eventually inspired others throughout the world as it was successful in gaining the colonies independence from a powerful European empire. Those revolutions include the Haitian and French Revolution.
Growing up I always believed that hard work and dedicate were the keys to success, yet I was unaware that social location played any part in advantages or disadvantages that people had. I think that part of this is because I grew up in a family of fairly privileged people. Perhaps if I were a different race or ethnicity or even sexuality I would have experienced oppression more closely, but because I was from a privileged group, I was ignorant to what was going on around me. Learning more about oppression has helped me see my own privilege as well as the oppression that others face every day. This has shown me how truly lucky
I want to accomplish many thing through out my life, but the biggest accomplishment I want is to help the people who have lost or don 't have a family to take care of them. Sometimes, kids are left alone because their parents couldn 't take care of them, or they had to go find better jobs to help with their living conditions. In many places they have very bad living conditions, and the people who live there try to leave, but sometimes they can 't take every one they love and that could cause them to loose those people. Homeless people have poor living conditions because they can 't afford some place or they might be kids that can 't find anywhere to stay. Kids and adults are often left alone or kicked out of there homes.
First high achieving students grades are what keep them focused and motivated in school. On the other end of the spectrum are students who simply do not have the willpower or drive to earn high marks in school. There are students who focus who too much on grades, and by doing this end up memorizing the material being taught and not absorbing. They are like little robots spouting facts and information, but not being able to truly comprehend its meaning.
The parents pressure kids too they are always threatening kids that they will get grounded if they do not pass or make above a 70 and so that makes the kids want to excel so that they don't get their phone taken up which will
