When Bessa spots pale stranger coming towards their village, the entire tribe welcomes them because visitors are always a cause for celebration. Little did they know the strangers weren’t there to celebrate. They came to capture the strongest, and the healthiest, villagers and kill the rest. Amari whose fifteen-years old are one of those villagers. The pale strangers shackled all the villagers they wanted and took them on a 3 day walk, nonstop walking. Some were beaten, dragged, branded, and even killed. When they reached their destination they a boarded onto a ship, a slave ship. There Amari met a red haired guy who taught her English. Soon after Amari met Afi who gives her hope and strength. The AOI that I thought was most prevalent throughout this story is Health and social education which is basically human issues that exist in human societies. I chose this AOI because this novel expresses unimaginable hardship, starvation and disease, pain, hope, determination, and human exploitation and suffering. To begin with, this novel is mostly about slavery which has been a major issue for decades and maybe still is today. A little after the ship ride, Amari was sold to Mr. Derby and then given as a birthday present to clay, his sixteen-year old son. Amari then meets Polly an indentured white girl. Who has the same dreams as her, to get freedom. I can tie this to Health and social education because as a teenage girl when you see your family get killed then you’re captured and soul many tend to lose hope and think there the blame so they will beat themselves up for it. Many people today still trade people or do human trafficking which is illegal. Another thing from the story is when Mr. Derby beat Amari on conscious, which is a form of abuse and maybe attempted murder. All because of a little spill. Many people today still face many types of abuse and some keep quiet about it because it’s their own flesh and blood. But that’s still

    Are the new-car fuel economy rules, recently finalized by the Obama administration, more about preserving the environment or are they more about the money? After reading an article written by Brad Tuttle, titled “How the New MPG Standards Will Affect Drivers, Automakers, Car Dealerships & More,” Time, 30 August 2012, it seems that society cares more about the money aspect then the original, environmental, reasons behind why people wanted more miles to the gallon. These new “CAFÉ” (corporate average fuel economy) standards demand that all new automobiles are made to get at least 54.5 by 2025.…

    Plus her mother was getting captured. She could possibly be next. How it impacts on the story was that, Amari has no family left, and she does not know this, but she is going to be a slave. This made me feel really upset, because I wouldn’t want my family to be taken from me! How cruel!!! Don't you agree? A little later in the book, Amari and a few other slaves, went on to a boat that was on the blue waters. In the story it said, “When she got to the deck, Amari stood amazed,-it was like a small city made of wood…….Barrels and boxes littered the area, and dozens of men running around shouting at one another. They were laughing and cheerful, but Amari noticed that everyone seemed to be holding a weapon on their back-a gun, a sword,a knife. Confused and frightened she didn’t know what to think”. The reason Amari felt frightened was because, for one she has never been on a boat, second the men were shouting and laughing while holding weapons. The difference it makes in the story itself was that the…

    Although they are still of a lower class, the other blacks did not seem to struggle as much in their lives as the protagonist. Ellison created this character to criticize slavery, and show that even when slavery is abolished and slaves are freed, they still cannot resume to normal, everyday lives that white people have. The legacy of slavery is engraved into the paths of people like the protagonist, and no course of action can allow them to better their…

He explains the misery he had to sustain and how many times he was beaten or punished to starve. For example, he wrote about his new owner Kathy, “The cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; the voice, made all of sweet accord changed to one harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon”. (Taylor, 2005, p. 58). Each slave at the end of their story explains their after life.

Jackson has a community that seems to be very racist and oblivious and close minded towards change and fait treatment towards citizens that reside there. The community seemingly split in two divided over an adequate racial line that has been passed down from generations to generations. Stern guidelines and regulations are put in place in order to separate the blacks and white. The writer gives us a glimpse of the Mississippian world back in the day and how maids were treated and the amount of racism and hatred that occurred in Jackson Mississippi. White Mississippians had been brought up and through social conditioning they had a mentality that prevented them to change their views and allow blacks to live the same luxury they had. Whites had more freedom blacks had, they allowed their communities to grow and flourish whereas blacks’ community became congested and overcrowded due to the restrictions preventing their community to grow “Jackson is just one white neighbourhood after the next” and “the coloured part of town be one big…

    The word structure in Marione Ingram’s “Operation Gomorrah” is very interesting to me. I’ve never been interested in reading a writer’s essay who words their sentence such as, “I was thrilled to be outdoors, unsupervised, in charged.” I, personally, would have structured that sentence (as well as her others) a bit differently. For example, “I was thrilled to be the boss outdoors.” It seems simple, although it is plain. I understand why writers…
