Gilgamesh Is A Hero

Cassie and Little man would everyday either get run off the rode and get racial slurs yelled at them as that happened and while they got splashed so they made a ditch to break down the white bus. After that Cassie was afraid that the night men were going to go after her so she said, ¨But shouldn 't we tell Mama?¨ about what they did to the bus but they did not tell her luckily the night men didn 't come for them. After that they had finally gotten to the point that she felt accomplished because the white kids had to walk now to. Cassie proved she was courageous by standing up for Little Man, helping T.J. even though he had done things to Cassie 's family, and the bus incident. Cassie shows courage because she doesn 't think it is right how because of the color of her skin that she gets treated and her family and some friends get torcherd because of the color of their skin.Cassie shows courage by standing up for people that have hurt them in the past but still helps them because they are in trouble.

She was told to move out of her seat so a white man could sit down. When she refused, she was arrested and then bailed out by E.D. Nixon. Soon after, this bus boycott was formed by multiple civil rights leaders. For example E.D.

At this point of the movie a young black man had gotten shot and the driver boarded the bus to kick off all the black people just by saying “colored people off”. There was no reason for them to do so but they left fast and peacefully because they knew they would be in trouble if they refused. It was a dangerous time for them to be outside after the man was killed but they had no choice in the matter. This just goes to show how the separate places for the black and white played a huge role in keeping black inferior to whites and keep the social limitations upon them. In Conclusion, during the 1960s the social situation of black Americans played a huge role in limiting their opportunities in in the American society.

Noah and Jude hardly talked and their Father was always going out for walks, "clearing his head." The Mother's death was sudden and unexpected, as she was killed in a car accident, which was another big factor that caused the twins to lose touch, as neither of them were expecting it in any way. I know that if I experienced something so sudden and life changing like that, it would affect me dramatically, maybe even causing me to shut people out, like Jude and Noah did to most people. The guilt that ensued after the Mum's death also majorly affected the twins. Each thought that they had caused their Mums death in different ways, whether it was something they said or something they did the last time they saw her.

This is because blacks and white don’t eat together. Another example would be that many whites burnt down houses of blacks and their crimes were recorded, but they did not need to spend a day in court. Therefore, the court is also racist against blacks. The last example would be that officers took away American flags from blacks because they would consider them as Non- Americans during protest for freedom. In class discussions, we talked about marriages between interracial.

In the epic, The Odyssey, written by Homer, a hero quite similar to the ones mentioned before can be seen. He is one of the most remarkable, classic heroes seen in western literature, and he indeed, is the great Odysseus. Several distinguishing traits of Odysseus make him an epic hero, and those traits can even be found in the heroes of today’s world. Throughout the poem, Odysseus establishes traits like determination, courage, and compassion, which prove that he is a true, Homeric hero. Determination is a recognizable heroic trait that Odysseus demonstrates

She sat in the fifth row-the first row that black riders were allowed to use under the bus company racial segregation rules”(The Montgomery Bus Boycott 93). The Bus Boycott was sparked by the arrest of Rosa Louise McCauley Parks. Rosa Parks was an African-American woman who refused to get up and move seats on a Montgomery city bus for a white male. Rosa Parks is known as¨the mother of the civil rights movement”for doing what most women did not have the courage to do.Mrs. Parks was then arrested for violating segregation regulations.

In her home state Alabama, the civil rights movement was the main focus because the blacks and white were segregated. The African Americans were not allowed to drink water from the fountains of white Americans. They were not allowed to enter in the rooms and hotels of white people. The white Americans had rights to humiliate them because they were forced to leave seats for white people in public transportations. In 1955, Rosa Parks got a prominent place after refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus.

That day, Parks deliberately didn't give up her seat to one of the white passengers and insisted on her position, simply refusing to give up her right to sit on the seat she chose. The driver summoned police officers who arrested her for violating the law. The incident had a major impact on fueling the feelings of blacks against injustice and racial discrimination. Blacks boycotted the buses for a year. The case was brought to the highest constitutional body in the United States, and the trial lasted 381 days.
