James Baldwin's Go Tell It On The Mountain
In his novel, Go tell it on The Mountain, James Baldwin uses his unique style of writing to show how the impact of a sensitive topic (religion) affects a young woman who was brought up in Christ, allowing her to have a close-knit relationship with Jesus. Elizabeth strays away from God for a man who she considered to be her first love. Because of this, the harsh words Richard speaks against Jesus alters her spiritual mentality. When speaking of the love she has for Jesus, Richard states, “You can tell that puking bastard to kiss my big black ass” (Baldwin 192). One can only imagine how it feels to have someone you love speak such hateful words against the one you love, especially the almighty and powerful Jesus Christ. This act destroys her

    God Is Black: Examine the Uses of Religious Imagery in the Fire Next Time.

    Baldwin makes it perfectly clear that he values the church. He describes his childhood, in which it saved him from the sordid drugs, prostitution and gambling on the street. He describes his time in the pulpit as “very exciting,” and confesses that nothing else in his life could “equal the power and the glory” that he felt while leading a congregation. The language he uses to describe the fervor, the experience, of his sermons is remarkably literary. His personal feelings are clearly being recalled here, as he allows himself to be swept up in the “fire and excitement that [would] sometimes, without warning, fill a church, causing…

    James Baldwin Essay

    “Is language really a key to identity or social acceptance?” We are judged by what wear, who we associate with and most importantly, how we speak. Someone who is wearing dirty clothing and does not smell the best would automatically labeled as “poor” or “disgusting”. Almost everyone has judged somebody based on appearance or intellect so society makes it seem normal to us, though it is wrong. I defend James Baldwin's claim that language is the key to identity and social acceptance because I live in a world of judgement and language is necessary to communicate. In 1979, the speaker, James Baldwin presented his allegation that language is the key to identity. Today I am living in a world of judgement. Though, I am not a “thug”, a “gangster,” if I hang out with those types of people, or dress similar to them then that's would I would be labeled as. Take for example Trayvon Martin. He was no gangster, just an average respectable seventeen year old black male who was falsely profiled. From personal experiences, I am a victim of judging others based on their language. People demonstrate this same technique of “profiling” when it comes to language. People who use constant slang, speak incorrectly, and use profanity I look at as “uneducated” or “unprofessional”, defending Baldwin's claim that language is the key to identity and social acceptance. It is a shame that in the black community, speaking properly is looked down on. My sister speaks professionally but it is often referred to as “speaking white” What does this mean? Why when an African American woman is speaking with eloquence and respect she is labeled as speaking white and not speaking with proper grammar. Why can it not be professional? Again it's judgement based on language. While some may disagree that language is the key to identity and social acceptance by saying that one can learn to speak gramatically correct, people revert back to their old ways when they become frustrated or upset. Take…

    In this excerpt, Stratton uses hyperbole, diction and symbolism to develop Mary’s character. In addition, to the society this novel is placed in, where their highest fear is “shame” Therefore, when everyone came to the realization that Jonah has AIDS, Mary pretended that she had no idea who he was. Since their society, dishonours, shames and mortifies any person whom has caught the disease. Which holds the entire community under the control of “fear” of “ashament” Moreover, the reason behind Mary refusing to help Jonah when he was about to die, all because of the “bad reputation” that she will receive later on. This signifies the close-minded and unaccepting society towards people whom have caught life-threatening situations. Which in addition…
