Poem Analysis: The White House By Claude Mckay

The children of the black children cannot go to the amusement park, restaurants, library and the same restroom as the white kid can, because they have darker skin. He then question law, he query what kind of law is just and which one is unjust. The just law is a law that raises people personality that no one can break whereas the unjust law punishes the minority and it is breakable. He then states about what he wish the clergy men to see inside the demonstration and value how brave the black people are.

A general example of segregation in the help is how a lot of times whites refer to the black people with animal like descriptions to build a barrier between them. Much of the conflict is built around the ignorance of whites towards blacks. The conflict between the help and the housewives emphasizes the theme of segregation. The author, Kathryn Stockett was trying to accurately recreate the injustices of racism back

James Weldon Johnson was known mainly for his poetry James John was the first African American in his country. Johnson gave a more in depth view into his life he also focused on African American accomplishment and everything battled through his life he was brought up in a middle class setting. Along this was a way to clear that the autobiography of Ex-Coloured Man was not a record of his life.

Poetry Analysis Once the poem “History Lesson” was written numerous poetry foundations celebrated it for many reasons. “History Lesson” not only makes an impact on literature today it has also impacted people also.

There are various racist views on the segregation of these races, although in the passage there were talks of hate crimes that were committed to send a message of hatred and union to the minorities. These hate crimes were biasedly motivated for not just their race but also their ethnic background, or national origin. In the passage “Idiot Nation” the author writes about the political leaders who failed to address the racism in America. The author states that the government view the “dangerous class” as uneducated and poor, these traits would prevent the country to ever succeed in having an equal society. Although Michael Moore also stated the enemy in the United States were the rich, old, fat, white men in the government.

The young Franklin boy was upset and hurt. He also thought of the train conductor, the man who kicked him and his mother off, as being “so mean” (Franklin 1). His mother caught notice of this and decided to give her troubled boy an important life lesson and some reassurance. His mother told the young boy that “the laws required racial separation…(though they) could not make us inferior in any way,” while also adding that, “the conductor was not superior because he was white, and (the boy) was not inferior because (he) was black” (Franklin 1). This important life lesson changed John’s life, as he learned that, despite what the law may suggest, all people are meant to be equal.

From the reading, I understand that in today’s culture that there are still race relations. Even though both groups of boys came from the same educational background and the same impoverished living conditions. I believe his study and findings are still prevalent in today’s society. In this essay, I will be breaking down the parts and discussing social conditions, poverty, self-esteem and motivation between two “groups’’, the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers.

Anderson claims that white people have more power in society and because of this, minorities are forced to take it upon the streets. Anderson wants the reader to understand that white people, especially white males, have more power than other races because in our society the reader sees powerful men everyday such as lawyers, policemen, judges, CEO's ,and etc. The reader doesn't see many minority's as high power people. When the author states that “...white rage carries an aura of respectability and has access to the courts, police, legislatures and governors,...” the reader can infers that white people are perceived as higher roles in our society and that the minority's rage carries a aura of disrespect and leads to violence. This allows white people to to be heard easily because of how they are seen in society by other white people, but for minority's they struggle to be heard because nobody pays attention to them because society feels that this is an ongoing issue.

Both Dwight Okita and Sandra Cisneros developed the theme of American identity in their writing. Dwight Okita expresses the individual theme in his poem of physical appearance does not define one 's American identity. In Sandra Cisneros short story she develops her individual theme of cultural heritage does not define your American identity. Together these two writers develop a common theme of cultural heritage and physical appearance does not define one 's American identity.

Poems are short meaningful pieces of literature that can be interpreted in multiple ways depending upon the reader at hand. That is what makes a poem unique compared to other literature pieces because in a poem the author tends to use figurative language to fulfill meaning behind their work. One poem “Love is a Sickness Full of Woes” by Samuel Daniel describes the pains of being lovesick. Love can either benefit us if nurtured and cared for, but if not tended to then let loose can ultimately hurt us. As to another poem “American Solitude” by Grace Schulman describes a life of solitude being most warming to the soul to ward off loneliness. To avoid the affect of feeling lovesick or unwanted, a life of solitude is a choice indeed. The two authors have two different aspects of life in how one should live to

The symbol of Poetry and the quotes selected are relevant to the entire novella, The House On Mango Street. For example, in “Born Bad”, Esperanza recited a poem that she wrote to her sick aunt, Guadalupe. She metaphorically spoke about being the waves on the sea, jumping out of her own skin and shaking the sky like a hundred violins. Not only does it make her aunt feel at ease but Esperanza does too, with hope and serenity. She believes in her words that one day she’ll grow up and take control over her life to change for the better. Furthermore, in “Mango Says Goodbye Sometimes”, it shows a mixture of rhythms and rhymes. Most importantly, it was where Esperanza came to the realization that she does belong on Mango Street and was not put there by mistake, at least for now. From poems, to rhymes and chants, Poetry plays a large role in reading between the lines in every part of the novella.

The two stories Black Swan Green by David Mitchell and Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke are similar because both are about mentors and mentees in poetry. Both mentors have a young poet seeking help from them. The young poets both learn valuable lessons from the mentors on their writing. The mentors tell them to write what they think and about what they know and love. They tell the poets only to write if they need to write to live and want to dedicate their lives to it. The authors both use many literary elements in their writings. From Letters to a young poet, Rilke uses many different literary elements to teach the young poet more about writing. “So rescue yourself from these general themes and write about what your everyday life offers you.” Rilke is telling the young poet to be original and write about his own life experiences and his own original thoughts. He’s telling the young poet to not use cliches and to be his own self. In other words, Rilke also wants his mentee to look to himself for his ideas.

Some say he “seized a unique moment in American history” (Peter Dreier, and Occidental College professor), others believe he was “bringing shame” (Kaepernick’s mother) not just to his home team, but his home country. Kaepernick stole everyone 's attention, not by his athletic ability when playing football, but from his actions during the American anthem.

In WW2 the holocaust clamed 6 million Jews lives, and over 7 million soviets died too and 1.7 million of those soviets were also counted towards the 6 million Jews. The holocaust was a genocide during World War II in when Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany tried to take over then world and also attempted to kill off all the Jews. They would send Jews and people who opposed them to concentration camps where they were either durned or worked till they couldn’t. Night is an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor. Auschwitz death camp is a video documentary with oprah winfrey and Elie Wiesel. One thought I had after learning about the holocaust was how crazy to you have to be to try to eliminate an entire religion of people.
