    The Meaning of Freedom in the Age of Emancipation Summary

    In the beginning of Eric Foner’s essay, he talks of how devoted Americans are to their freedom. Different titles, for example, on history textbooks suggest just this: Land of the Free and The Rise of American Freedom. People on the outside of America looking in find this astonishing. The pride that is shown by Americans is outrageous to people that do not know what freedom is or people who have some freedom don’t see what we Americans do. He then comes to the point that the use of the word ‘freedom’ has “literally hundreds of definitions.” He argues this not only because of the survey, but the fact that many different definitions are created and re-created through the eyes of different people.…

He just sat there--in his black plaid boxers--staring at the opposite wall, a razor between in his left hand. He was shaking with soft tears.…

    Growing Up In The Film Pariah By Dees Rees

    In the past 21 years of my life, I have watched many films, but Pariah by Dees Rees, is one of the films that is now listed under my favourites collection. I was deeply connected with Pariah and its characters as I believe that it is not necessarily needed for the viewer to be black, lesbian or know someone who is to connect with this film, rather anyone going through the process of growing up will understand this film. As growing up, I too have faced difficulties and challenges that limited me from living my life to the fullest, and with my experience, I can understand what Alike must feel being limited to her life. This film is more so focused on the central conflict between Alike and her family; the struggle between her fighting with her…

    A Separate Peace: Coming of Age Story

    Gene Forrester is the protagonist of a coming of age story in many ways. First Genes shift from ignorance to knowledge is pretty apparent. An ignorant Gene is led to the tree where he jounces the the limb causing Finny to fall. The knowledge of his evil deed and the loss of innocence because of it really launches Gene from childhood to adulthood. Genes shift from innocence to experience can be expressed by the very same situation. Gene lost his innocence when he jounced the limb of the tree and injuring Finny because of it. He now has experience of doing sinful deeds. What drove Gene to jounce the limb was perhaps to bring Finny down to his own level and make the two equal. The very thought causes Gene to become a little less innocent and a little more devious. Part of coming-of-age is having the experience of the consequences of doing bad things.…

    Personal Narrative: My Childhood Observation

    It was a ferociously gloomy day in the heart of Center City. The time of the observation was from 11:43 am to 12:43pm. Sandwiched between 15th street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard is the Philadelphia's Municipal Services Building and within the plaza of the building lies Board Game Park. Even in the rain, the park was festive. Upon arriving, it began to drizzle. The drizzle was light enough for me to sit by a statue that was composed of multiple bodies piled on top of one another. The noises heard ranged from rain dropping, to horns honking to people laughing or shouting. In the surrounding area of the Board Game Park is Love Park with its remarkable LOVE sculpture and fountain, which was spewing pink water in support of Breast Cancer Awareness…
