Nobodies Book Report

696 Words3 Pages

In the book Nobodies the purpose of this book is to inform people that there is still slavery out there. The author John Bowe wants the audience to realize that slavery is not over with. John Bowe talks about how there is people mistreated and underpaid. John Bowes arguments are mainly how ugly modern day slavery is and it can get. Before reading this I did not know that there was so much slavery going on in this world. John Bowe reveals the sick and cruel things that most people did not know that is still going on. We all know that there is evil in this world and people that want to find ways to make money but there are people that go through things that we could not and should not go through. A big question that I have been asking myself is, do I contribute to slavery? "We buy Granny Smiths picked by slaves in New York and Washington State. We buy paper from trees planted by workers who don 't get paid." …show more content…

The stories that john Bowe put in here seem fiction. Like El diablo. I don’t know how people like El Diablo do it but it’s just pure evil. I think a good way to fix this is coming over the legal way. Many people come over and just start working but reading this book make me believe that there is people out there that will take advantage of illegal immigrants. People like El diablo and John Pickle are evil people and seek out to take advantage of immigrants that are looking for work.
This book has changed my view on modern day slavery. I have learned about modern day slavery in my other classes but I haven’t learned this amount of details. This book also makes me want to help stop people taking advantage of immigrants. This book is a great read for people that want to know more about modern day slavery. The stories that John Bowe tells will get to you and make you want to help these people that are put in these situations and put stop to slave

  • Slavery In Coates's Between The World And Me

    1668 Words  | 7 Pages

    It both saddens and terrifies me to say that I can still feel uncomfortable stating the fact that slaves built this nation. It is as though I have been taught to feel uncomfortable about the truths of American history. I find relief in knowing that there are, and have been, people who are not afraid or uncomfortable with the truth; those who can write, publish, and share honest American history with the world. In Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates shares truths with his son that I always knew, but never had the ability to articulate. Coates also writes with a sense of knowledge, I detect no doubt in his words; and the lack of repression with which he wrote often made me feel as though I was reading something that should be protected.

He creates a narrative flow that encapsulates the reader into himself, and forces them through the hell he crawled through to give them these few but full pieces of paper. All the anger, pain, hope, desire, bravery, and fear. Every emotion, every lashing, every aching step is summarized and imprinted into the reader for the sake of humanity’s collective soul, and for the salvation and deliverance of those in bondage. Had Frederick Douglass not have the strong grasp on literature, we might not ever have had such a complete picture of slavery, and might not have solved the issue as completely as we

  • Frederick Douglass Negative Effects On Slaves

    753 Words  | 4 Pages

    Frederick Douglass’s narrative provides a first hand experience into the imbalance of power between a slave and a slaveholder and the negative effects it has on them both. Douglass proves that slavery destroys not only the slave, but the slaveholder as well by saying that this “poison of irresponsible power” has a dehumanizing effect on the slaveholder’s morals and beliefs (Douglass 40). This intense amount of power breaks the  kindest heart and changes the slaveholder into a heartless demon (Douglass 40). Yet these are not the only ways that Douglass proves what ill effect slavery has on the slaveholder. Douglass also uses deep characterization, emotional appeal, and religion to present the negative effects of slavery.
