Benito Cerreno Summary

When he invited Delano to the upper deck a violent clash between the young slave and his Spanish subordinate, Benito is questioned about how he runs his establishment to keep the slaves in charge by Delano. Benito doesn’t respond and Delano suspicion rises again. This stands out to me because Benito shows his true relationships with the slaves and rather being the protagonist of the story he falls into the control of the slaves he thinks of too stupid or dumb to take over the ship. This moment in the book really solidifies the ideology of the slavery era because it shows how little of intelligence or equality slaves or people of color had to white men. This is surprising because when Benito was asked about the slaves he tried to remember the story one of his slaves --- Babo told him about the American and was threatened when he was shown the bloody razor.

The incident had led to innocent British citizens lives being sold into the slave trade. The incident had caused an uproar because the cargo and falsified evidence were justification to send the incident to court, but it’s captured by slavers endangered the lives of freemen. From the outside perspective of those who were not on the ship, but the officials in control varied their opinion. One opinion coming from the British and French naval and colonial officials, the other coming from British and French diplomatic officials. The Neirsee Incident outlined in the novel, Inhuman Traffick, expands on the differing beliefs of colonial and diplomatic officials where one follows the standard protocol for slave freedom, and the other tries to free those who are

Rufus loves Dana in a possessive and oppressive way. Butler uses diction with Rufus who does not ask Dana to stay, but demands it instead. He sees her as part of his property, and believes he can control her with violence, like the rest of his slaves. Rufus at this point is very dangerous because he can no longer be changed. He is conditioned to use violence when he does not get what he wants, like most slave owners in the Antebellum south.

It also gives us an understanding of why he is also very loyal to his good friend Tom. Tom never really had the safest or best ideas, but Huck trusted him and was loyal because that is a value he has. A counterclaim that can be made against Huck is that he also showed some bad values by not turning Jim in. At the time, there was of course slavery going on and to help a wanted slave was considered wrong and dishonest in the eyes of many people. Some may say that Huck was a dishonest person because of his choice to not turn Jim in.

Hernan Cortes voyaged to America in about 1504. Cortes ignored orders and said to the Aztecs with 500 men and 11 ships, setting goal on overthrowing ruler Montezuma II in the Aztec civilization Tecochitilan. He started his conquest at where cuba is today, circling through the Tropic of Cancer to Verazruz. He then went to Trujillo, but realized that was not very useful and wnet back his path to before trying his luck in themore west area of mexico. Cortes’s

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus struggles to fight for Tom Robinson freedom because of his skin color. He has to face many challenges such as Sacrifice and Love and injustice for Tom and his family. Even though many people didn’t agree with Atticus on supporting Tom Robinson he never used violence, but only words to defend himself from the insults. This shows how people are cruelly to colored persons just because of their skin color but they don’t stop to think that they are people

The slaves were mad because they would always be getting the leftovers from the slave master (Doc 19). The slaves felt that slavery was unfair because the owners and them are both humans yet they lived completely different life styles (The Coon and the Dog). The white people would often tell the slaves that slavery was their duty and that they should obey their master respect them that it was in the bible and their duty (Doc 6). The slave masters wanted the slaves to think if they worked hard they would go to heaven this was a strategy used by slave masters to suppress the slaves (Doc

I think equiano was successful and made it very clear that slavery is injustice. One example from the text was "refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands and laid me across i think the windlass and tied my feet while the other flogged me severely." Clearly the white men were unfair with him for not accepting to eat what they had offered him. Some of the slaves had even considered dying rather than staying alive with them. The slaves would try to drown themselves onto the sea ,some were successful and passed away but those who got caught would get brought back to the ship and get punished and flogged severely.

The film that I watch is named Amistad, Amistad is the name of a slave ship traveling from Cuba to the U.S. in 1839. It is carrying a cargo of Africans who have been sold into slavery in Cuba, taken on board, and chained in the cargo hold of the ship. As the ship is crossing from Cuba to the United States, Cinque who was a tribal leader in Africa, leads a munity and takes over the ship. They continue to sail, hoping to find help when they land. Instead, when they reach the United States, they are imprisoned as runaway slaves.

There are many records of spanish conquistadors not letting the indians get in the way of taking over the land. Then, in the third sentence, he continues to discuss why the Black Legend has developed, with people being angered by the unfair cruelty the spanish that they don’t necessarily get the full understanding of the Black Legend propaganda. Furthermore, I think by what he means by it “flourishes in an atmosphere of indignation” is that the idea was thought up by people who were anti-Hispanic prejudice and wanted to give name to the way Spaniards were so
