In the nightmare, Andy sees the doe that she shot. It comes up to her, she pets it, touches the wound and eventually her hands ends up inside of it until she finds the heart. “Andy tried to remove her hand but the wound closed about it and held her fast. Her hand was burning. She cried out in agony, sure they would all hear and come help, but they didn’t” (407).

Segregation was an important issue in the 1960s because it separated blacks and whites. Black people were treated like lower class uneducated citizens. In The Help and Selma, both Skeeter Phelan and Martin Luther King believed that African Americans are not any less of a person than white people. Zach from The Secret Life of Bees and the children in gangs from Crips and Bloods: Made in America differ because Zach has the support and education he needs to believe in himself and his future. The children of gangs have support, but it is not in the same caring ways.

Antigone did not think it was right, and decided to bury him saying “ But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death…”. Another opposing argument is that Creon needs to punish her.

She wrung her hands in anguish, and exclaimed, 'Gone! All gone! Why don 't God kill me? ' I had no words wherewith to comfort

Martin Luther King Jr said,“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools”. In the late 1960s, racial tension was high, African Americans were not given the right to vote, the right to a fair education, and the right to a fair judgement. This then led to the separation of schools and the destruction of a normal livelihood. Dr.King and Malcolm X, two men in the face of oppression rose up to challenge the racial barrier, thus changing the world forever. Although Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X seem to have mutual respect and an equal understanding of the inequality, their philosophies were quite different from each other.

As he got older he led battles into Pottawatomie (a pro-slavery settlement) to protest the mistreatment of slaves. After numerous battles at Pottawatomie, whites people would write that John Brown was practically a cold-blooded killer and he had no reason to kill. The same thing happened at Harper 's Ferry, but he was captured. Brown went to trial that same year and was sentenced to the death penalty. Some say that his lawyers and family came up with a story that he was mentally ill, in effort to escape the death penalty but that didn’t work.

With their father as the defending lawyer, Scout and Jem are introduced to racism with an anomalous perspective. Most wealthy, white children growing up in the south in the 1930s gained a biased attitude toward African Americans, but Scout and Jem luckily avoid this prejudice. Racism is introduced as prevalent to Scout and Jem as they attempt to understand what is going on. Scout figures out that sometimes bigotry and emotion overpower a supposedly objective justice system. Although all evidence proved Tom Robinson to be not guilty, his color secured his sentencing and inevitable murder.

However, with his own child beginning to appear black he goes back to abusing them. This is a bit unsettling because if he truly believes his own child to be part black you would think he would have some compassion towards his slaves, but instead it makes him even angrier at them. Armand is ashamed of blackness, this is seen by him when he rejects his own child and Désirée out of the shame he feels. The only things that causes this shift is Armand’s racism towards African-Americans. He views them as inferior property, not as living breathing humans with emotions too.

She will always be the childless mother. “The Mother” is filled with grief-filled sorrow, tragedy, and bitterness, with a very somber tone. At times, it is even shocking to hear what this mother has to say. “You will never neglect or beat them or silence or buy with a sweet.” Brooks says here that the mother will never be able to do anything with her “dim, killed” children with a horrible reality; she is imagining what might have been her motherhood (Shmoop). “Believe me that even in my deliberateness I was not deliberate.” Here, Brooks continues speaking in the mother’s voice, who mourns and begs forgiveness from her aborted children, wondering if she has indeed truly committed a crime and wanting to let her children know that she was not deliberately killing them (Shmoop).

It all started when the town of Alabama found itself the spot of the trial of Tom Robison, a black young man who is falsely accused of beating and raping a young woman. Atticus becomes Tom’s lawyer and proves that Tom did not commit this crime that he is accused of yet the juries still blame him for this crime.

In the book, All Quiet On The Western Front, written by Erich Maria Remarque, after Paul visits Kemmerich 's mom, due to the fact that Paul has conditioned to the fact that his friend died, he does not seem to be able to understand the mother 's tears or her hysteria. After visiting Kemmerich 's mom, "I cannot write that down. This quaking, sobbing woman who shakes me and cries out on me: 'Why are you living then, when he is dead? ' --who drowns me in tears..." (180). As a result of her crying, Paul questions, "Why doesn 't she stop worrying?

"Ruler asked blacks to win their legitimate place in the public eye by increasing sense of pride, high good models, diligent work and initiative. He additionally asked blacks to do this in a peaceful matter," The distinction is in Malcolm X and Martin Luther King 's experiences impacted their later perspectives. As a dark youth, Malcolm X was insubordinate and furious. He faulted the poor social conditions that blacks lived in on the whites. "His past ghetto life set him up to dismiss peacefulness and coordination and to acknowledge a solid separatist theory as the reason for dark survival," He even accepted at one time that whites were operators of the villain.

The Scottsboro Boys Case and To Kill a Mockingbird were cases of the injustice of black men. Harper Lee was trying to point out that a person 's skin color or race does not justify the actions they done, that anyone who practices prejudice is foolish. That prejudice is an actual reality that a person experiences first hand and hurts others in the process. Like Harper Lee with her father being a lawyer she must’ve experienced it first hand. These stories teach us that you shouldn’t judge a person by their race.
