    Summary Of Burger Barn

    Too often than not, when an individual hears the word “poor” unsettling images of destitute poverty and homelessness are the disturbing, and at times inaccurate, depictions that come into one’s mind. Another common image that tends to come to mind when speaking of people in the poor community is the pitiful imagery of a lazy group of people looking for handouts from the government. It seems as if the admirable image of a group of low-wage working citizens attempting to move into better living conditions to support their families, is unrealistic. Stereotypes tend to make that depiction nonexistent as an option. Stereotypes favor the images of drug dealers or public assistance riders, rather than an honest working person in an unfortunate economic…

    Summary Is Tyranny

    Tyranny is Tyranny starts off talking about our nation and how it is ready to remove itself from British rule and not be unfairly treated but go about it not causing rebellions and create a consensus for this new developing country. The Founding Fathers are the one who deserve this credit though by created a control over the states and showed our future leaders how to do. It all started with Bacons rebellion and many rebellions from many states came after this. English victories had not scared the Americans anymore in the French and Indian war. This made an idea that maybe after the Indians where threw in the colonies that maybe the Britain’s were next but it was never spoken upon. With the win though the British anticipated to gain some control over the states because the war was very costly and the colonies where now important to the British economy. The Americans didn’t need British control anymore though but British depended very deeply on the revenues of the colonies. This war brought unemployment to the poor and one example was New York even being…

    While both Young Goodman Brown and Mary Rowlandson enter the forest under different circumstance, Mary Rowlandson emerges revitalize and with stronger faith in God’s work. Whereas Young Goodman Brown returns a much, “stern, a sad, a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man.” Knowing not what to expect they both continue their trip through the woods in curiosity. In The Narrative of the Captivity and the Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, Mary uses her journey as a test of faith with god, “I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness has afflicted me”(Psalm 119.75). No matter what obstacles are presented, Mary Rowlandson remains next to the good lord, “...she found me sitting and reading in my Bible; she snatched it hastily out of my hand, and threw it out of doors. I ran out and catched it up, and put it into my pocket, and never let her see it afterward.”(12th remove). In comparison, Young Goodman Brown, lost his faith since he does not know wether what he saw in the forest was a dream or not, “Be it so if you will; but, alas! it was a dream of…

She was very stong in her religion and her views on her faith in God. In the passage Rowlandson expressses her gratefulness that her belief in God kept her from committing suicide. "I cannot but take notice of the wondrful mercy of God to me in those afflictions, in sending me a Bible."

    Summary of 12 Years A Slave

    Solomon Northup was born a free man in Minerva, New York, in 1808. Little is known about his mother, whom his narrative does not identify by name. His father, Mintus, was originally enslaved to the Northup family from Rhode Island, but he was freed after the family moved to New York. As a young man, Northup helped his father with farming chores and worked as a raftsman on the waterways of upstate New York. He married Anne Hampton, a woman of mixed (black, white, and Native American) ancestry, on Christmas Day, 1829. They had three children together. During the 1830s, Northup became locally renowned as an excellent fiddle-player. In 1841, two men offered Northup generous wages to join a traveling musical show, but soon after he accepted, they drugged him and sold him into slavery. He was subsequently sold at auction in New Orleans. Northup served a number of masters—some brutally cruel and others whose humanity he praised. After years of bondage, he came into contact with an outspoken abolitionist from Canada, who sent letters to notify Northup's family of his whereabouts. An official state agent was sent to Louisiana to reclaim Northup, and he was successful through a number of coincidences. After he was freed, Northup filed kidnapping charges against the men who had defrauded him, but the lengthy trial that followed was ultimately dropped because of legal technicalities, and he received no remuneration. Little is known about Northup's life after the trial, but he is believed to have died in 1863.…
