Vik Muniz Marat Analysis

Chesnutt uses “The Sheriff was conscientious: his conscience had merely been warped by his environment” (43) to present he had been warped into the racial environment of the town. Warp is water imagery because it reveals the damage water can leave behind. Chesnutt allows the reader to understand that “warped” illustrates water to reveal how racism warped the sheriff’s conscience as water would warp a wood floor after a flood. He demonstrates his idea of consumption of racism by expressing the racial damage that is done by southern white men on the town and African Americans. He allows the reader to understand his ideas by revealing “But the baleful influence of human slavery poisoned the fountains of life, and created new standards of right”

The black man is first made out to seem like a bad man. But since the commercial ends with the ‘’appearance can be deceiving’’ slogan, you could also say that they are trying to make you think about judging things by their looks. Things don’t have to be bad because your impression of it is bad. This also reflects on the group of black people in society. The only reason they appear to be bad to some people is because racist people are giving the impression that they are bad.

I feel like the authors opinions work into the sources because Equiano the author had a silver spoon he loved being traded because he got to go to beautiful countries such as "Tinmah"(Equiano). But until he was traded and treated like a normal slave he hated it. He hated the smell of slaves and thought slaves being chained up was inhumane. For Falconbridge it said, "I was so overcome with the heat, stench, and foul air, that I had nearly fainted" (5). So his opinion was he hated being a doctor because he had to deal with the awful stenches and bad air when he was trying to help fix these slaves and he wanted the middle passage to

Johnson conveys the narrator to distinctly differentiate the two cultures which he belongs to, but there is an analysis of the mistreatment of race. “I do not see how a people that can find in its conscience any excuse whatever for slowly burning to death a human being, or to tolerate such an act, can be entrusted with the salvation of a race” (98). Johnson uses the word “human being” and excludes the detail of race because he may be insinuating injustices reach beyond skin color. The opinionated position of the narrator develops into a slight understanding of humanity, because Johnson attempts to explain that prejudices during the time setting were unpreventable. The lack of humanity within the era in which the story is set can be paralleled to the injustices of humanity which still occur in present time.

“Barn Burning” is a very interesting story about a family and the hardships they face. Though the narrative focuses on Sarty Snopes, his father Abner causes many of the problems they encounter. Abner Snopes is a very cruel and negative father who does not grow throughout the story because of his hate towards others. In this story, Faulkner uses figurative language to characterize Abner.

According to the brother, the focus is no longer, on who served the nation but on how to acquire wealth and live a stable and comfortable life. Latinos are facing entrapment in the past and find it had to reintegrate into the modern society. The old man farmer on the wheelchair commits suicide due to psychological trauma, as he too cannot integrate into the modern Lima society (Hjort and Scott, 90). It is a perfect example of entrapment common in Latin America.

It is my belief that society is the true ‘monster’ in the novel, and that it is through our experiences and interactions with society that shapes us into the person that we become. Because of the creatures experiences with abandonment, abuse, rejection, and lack of nurture, the creature turns from an innocent soul into a murderous monster. Society plays a huge role in the destruction of both the creature and Victor. When Victor first leaves for ignostalt he believes that “he will be unfit for the company of man.”

To start, the Haitian Revolution was started due to a variety of factors. But probably the most important one was slavery and oppression that was forced upon peoples from Africa who were imported to Haiti (Then Saint Domingue) and discriminated against even if they were free, just because of the color of their skin. To give context, from the years before 1791, slavery was incredibly harsh against slaves. The perpetrators of the cruelty were the French because they viewed themselves as superior and sons of the French Revolution that overthrew an oppressive government in France.

Greed was the main force of corruption in Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo; it has corrupted men throughout the novel. Damasio “El Tilcuate”, who was in charge of guarding the town from revolutionaries, has been corrupted. Fulgor Sedano, the right-hand of the Paramos, had dedicated his life to carry out the ‘dirty deeds’ of the rich: he has been corrupted. Father Rentería, the town’s priest, was a hypocrite, he hated the Paramos and the rich, though he accepted bribes from them, granted them absolution and neglected the poor since they couldn’t pay him: he has been corrupted. The main character, Pedro Páramo turned out to be the most immoral man in the novel.

Both towns are cursed one day. But there are difference between the two. While Sodom is cursed because of the vices of its people, the poet 's town destroyed by those vice people who put their anger on the birds ' nests, innocence, and childhood, where they were living in peace and its doors are open to all strangers. Unlike Sodom that deserved the torture and curse, sodomites invaded his peaceful town. In this way, Al-Qassim mingles the present and the past to personify the destructive state of his town.

People have their equal right, and should not be ranked depending on their skin color or gender. However, as “The American Story” states “The masters of these agrarian communities sought to ensure their personal safety and the profitability of their enterprises by using physical and psychological means to make slaves docile and obedient” (page 352), because of the greed of wealth and safety, some people discarded their basic humanity and discipline and made excuses to justify their cruelty, so the slavery became like a tumor growing in the human society rapidly. With physical and psychological abuse, this “tumor” tortured every struggling people from day to night. As the insight of a dark history, Frederick Douglass’s “Narrative of the Life

Jim Crow laws were created to help the south keep Africans from contributing to society and keeping them separated from the “favorable white people.” They did this by making laws such as White and Black only water fountains, seats, bathrooms, etc. Even though Jim Crow was outlawed once the Civil Rights act was passed, it has created a long lasting tension between people. This is shown by radical groups such as the Black Panthers and KKK who have created a long lasting hatred towards each other. Jim Crow has created a long lasting effect on both past and present generations of different ethnic people by allowing certain people to obtain a job based on how their name sounds, keeping different ethnicities stuck in poverty, and by creating ethnic

Donald Sterling was one of the owners the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers from 1981 to 2014, but the owner ship of the Los Angeles Clippers was taken from him after a conversation where he repeatedly used racist remarks was leaked to the media. Because of these racist remarks Donald Sterling is infamously know as one of the worst bosses in the sports industry. In the case of Donald Sterling and most bad bosses the power over which he held over the employees was crippling and created a hostile work environment. The members of the Los Angeles Clippers are signed to the team under a contract.

The assassination of Malcolm x was unjust because he was a activist of black rights, and an influential leader. However some believe that he was a violent man ,who encouraged physical retaliation . Malcolm x was born March , 19 1925 . During that time (early 1900s) blacks were treated like low lives and were given little to no respect by whites.

As Olaudah Equiano mentions, some men that were traveling with him jumped to the ocean to reach death, but did not succeed. The death of the Africans meant economic loss for the traders, so maintaining them alive before selling them, was a rough
