    Blood Done Sign My Name Analysis

    Thirty years after hearing a 10 year old playmate casually announce: "Daddy and Roger and 'em shot 'em a nigger," Tyson examines the racial conflict and riots that took place in the spring of 1970 in Oxford, North Carolina, while also looking at the culture that allowed such an event to take place and that allowed Robert and Roger Teel to be acquitted of both murder and manslaughter charges. The same tensions of racial conflict and desegregation that existed in Oxford were a reflection of those being felt throughout North Carolina and the rest of the South. Blood Done Sign My Name explores the motivation behind Marrow’s death and the riots afterwards.…

    In Passionate Declarations Analysis

    In Howard’s book, In Passionate Declarations: essay on war and justice, the chapter “The Use and Abuse of History” Howard clarifies that history gravitates towards partial explanations of encounters. Howard explains that it is crucial to analyze both known and hidden facts about historical accounts because it only demonstrates a microscopic fragment of an event. Because of the bias of an author, details are often omitted. Howard recounts an experience during his college years; he heard a song called “The Ludlow Massacre”. Ludlow massacre reveals the massacre of woman and children who were burned to death for striking against a Rockefeller owned coal mines in Colorado, 1914. Howard never encountered the Ludlow Massacre in any of his American…

    Warriors Don't Cry

    I thought Warriors Don’t Cry was a profoundly uplifting as well as a profoundly depressing account of the integration of Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. When the U.S. Supreme Court declared that school segregation was unconstitutional, Beals was a schoolgirl in Little Rock. She knew that the good school that would prepare her best for college was Central High in Little Rock, and she wanted to be in the first group of black teenagers to integrate the school. This memoir is based heavily on Beals’ diary and her English-teacher mother's notes. It explains how the 15-year-old Beals decided to integrate Central High with eight classmates and what happened as a result of that decision. Beals's narrative is uplifting because she survived the ordeal, went on to college at San Francisco State University and Columbia University, and eventually returned to Little Rock in 1987 to be greeted by then-governor Bill Clinton and a black Central High student-body president. The tale is depressing because unrelenting violence saturates most pages, making a reader ponder how humans can act with so much hatred toward one another. The fact that the violence and hate was aimed at children is particularly depressing. The violence and hate came from all angles--white classmates, their parents, Little Rock rednecks, and even the school's teachers. Even Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, encouraged the violence. The goal was to drive the nine black students away from Central High before they could graduate. President Eisenhower responded by calling in federal troops, turning Central High into an armed battleground. The sense of immediacy in Beals's well-crafted account makes the events seem like they happened yesterday. Some samples of her diary entries showing her emotional state during all this would have made the accounts she describes much more powerful, but all in all this book is a good…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Gatto's Essay 'Against School'

    He brings historical context into the essay, and attacks the argument for schools by introducing the reader to the man who engineered the American public school system. Gatto introduces James Bryant Conant with his various titles, which include “WWI poison-gas specialist, WWII executive on the bomb project, high commissioner of the American zone after Germany.” By including these details, Gatto shows that our school system was fabricated by someone heavily involved in war, and was also responsible for some of the most atrocious acts of violence in human history. Because of the effect that Conant’s earlier products had on people, this truncated resume suggests that students are just another subject of Conant’s evils. The theme of alluding towards systematic oppression is furthered through diction by asserting that students are “warehoused,” creating the effect of making students seem like some kind of merchandise instead of people. In the same paragraph, Columbine High School is mentioned, to further provoke images of unrest that had been introduced by Conant. The language presented in the latter half of the essay allude to some kind of dystopian society, where people mindlessly follow everything the government tells them. For…

Little, did he know that, not far from his “memorable” write up in the Baltimore Sun, would be a series of article that would change his life even more than his scholarship that he had earned. What was written, were articles, about another “fatherless” son of the city.

    Essay On Melba Patillo Beals

    In 1957, nine African-American students challenged institutionalized segregation in Little Rock, Arkansas, simply by enrolling in Central High School, a formerly all-white school. Melba Patillo Beals was one of the nine determined students who attempted to desegregate the public school system in Little Rock. She later wrote about her experiences in Warriors Don’t Cry, a forthright memoir with the ability to transport its readers into the halls of Central High School and onto the streets of Little Rock during a metamorphic period in American History. Although briefed by leaders of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on what to expect upon enrollment, the beast the young students awoke was much larger than anticipated. Once Beals and her eight fellow warriors crossed into white-washed territory, they were greeted with spit, profanity, assault, acid, and a constant fear of their safety. The once “tall …majestic… European castle,” Melba fantasized about, transformed into a building she…

    How Bowling for Columbine Is Bias

    The lives of many were to change on the day of April 20th, 1999, at Columbine High School. With the death of twelve students and one teacher, it was to be the deadliest mass murder committed on an American high school campus. The massacre, committed by senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, sparked debate over gun control laws; whether the availability of guns across the United States, especially to young people such as these, was socially acceptable. This event is what sparked Moore to create his documentary, ‘Bowling for Columbine’.…

    Hayneville

    In Gregory Orr’s essay, “Return to Hayneville”, published by The Virginia Quarterly Review, Orr revisited the place of his abduction by armed vigilantes in Alabama as a Civil Rights worker in 1965. Even though the events of this essay take place in 1965, for Orr it started with the death of his younger brother in a hunting accident when Orr was twelve. Holding the gun that killed his younger brother, Orr believed that if his life began at twelve with his brother’s death, then his end, “determined by the trajectory of that harsh beginning, could easily have taken place six years later” (125, 1). Orr visited the place that had hunted him as much of the death of his younger brother.…
