Tone Shift In 'Coming To America'

One of the biggest lies that is told to kids when learning social studies is about his discovery of the Americas. At an early age, we are taught to believe that Columbus discovered America in 1492, when in fact, the Tainos were already living there. Because there are many sides of the story, even traveling back in time and experiencing both sides will not give you the exact perspective as the individuals who were present during that time period. As we grow up we become more mature about the topic and are lectured about the true events that took place. We uncover the truth about his true objectives, his intentions, the crimes he and his men committed, and everyone’s contribution to the genocide and mistreatment of the Tainos.

Conquistador, written by Buddy Levy about the famous ventures of Hernan Cortes, places the reader in the 16th century, or the era c.1450-c. 1750 ce. During this time, the idea of exploration was spreading quickly, as kingdoms and empires in Europe sought to expand their territory. Portugal, with Spain following after, led the way for exploration as they headed south. Spain, however, ventured west, driven by a patriotic attitude of expanding past their borders. Levy tells the story of Hernan Cortes, originally setting sail from Spain, as he sailed from Cuba to the shores of Mexico in 1519, eager about the discovery of new lands.

Odysseus is the most worthy person to endorse the service of a compass repair shop. Odysseus was thrown off course many times during his journey back home to Ithaca which made it take longer to return.

The compass is used to tell a person where north is from their location.

The first allusion to the Bible in this poem is when Dylan says, "And admit that the waters/Around you have grown..." (Dylan 1) This is an allusion to the biblical flood, but this is also a metaphor for the civil rights movement in the sixties, the time this poem was published. As Dylan talks about this, he has the hidden meaning of acceptance, the theme. By admitting that times and ways have changed, people must accept this change and try to fit.

Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred ninety-two. When one hears the name Christopher Columbus, they tend to think about his discovery of America. What they don’t consider is how his discovery changed and affected America. First of all, Columbus’ discovery provided the start of a long term colonization, which created what we know today as America. People, who immigrated from another country, traveled all over the world to make it to America in hopes of getting land in “The New World”.

Which basically means that Cabot did such good for England that people treated them with respect and honor. In addition, John Cabot is a hero because he, “he did find new lands that would become the foundation of Canadian and American society centuries later”. So, that means Cabot founded land that helped create a new place for people to build societies later on. As the website, “http://apecsec.org/6-fun-facts-about-john-cabot/” reads.” Lastly, even though they are many great reasons to consider him a hero, they are ways that show he was a villain.

When I hear the term “New England,” I automatically picture a beautiful land that was filled with natives and Europeans who worked together. I picture Europeans who supported each other. I also picture colonists who were free from all persecutions for their religion. I saw them as people who understood and accepted outsiders unlike the Chesapeake colonies. Prior to reading the textbook, I knew that the colony in Massachusetts was home to the first Puritans.

America is the land of the free, home of the brave. As an American I learned those words as soon as I started elementary school. America is the greatest country on earth… or is it? America has a history of oppressing people because of race, occupation, and heritage. Yet as a people we like to say that, that is in the past and now we are inclusive as ever and everyone is considered equal.

The freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, written in the American Constitution have given many ethnic groups the opportunity to migrate to America. Notoriously been known as the “melting pot,” America has always had problems mixing the races. However, I argue, within the last seventy-five years, with the way media has negatively reported the news, relations among some races have been breached. This thesis seeks to analyze the motives behind media outlets, the way people interpret the information reported and how news have negatively impacted certain ethnic groups. The hypothesis will be supported by data collected through an informational method of research collected from Winthrop University student surveys, an in-depth analysis
