Doris Is Coming Summary
Reading the story Doris Is Coming made me believe in the story. The realism of it made me realize that even though I don’t believe everything they were stating. I was convinced that the last day on this earth was here, that day in that church. The conversations they were having with one another made more since to me. The other story was a bit harder for me to fully understand the scenario of that story. Doris is left to make sense of this world. This story made a very good point from the past history events during the civil right movement in the Southern USA.
Reading this stories dialogue made me believe it and understand it perfectly. I was in the story while reading the entire thing. My imagination was giving me good pictures about everything happening in the story and all the conversations were accruing in front of me. I like the way that the author gave great detail. I like this kind of dialogue used in this story. When one person’s says one

In the past history this was what was happening. This “Negro” student is how she was mention in this story also is another example of why it was realistic to me. We did have that happen at one point in time in our past history and by the looks of it something like that is happening to our world/ history today. The religion point of view is also another reason why I can say it’s a realistic. Many religions and own believes are part of our world as of now. Some people understand others peoples believes, religions, and language but unfortunately not everyone is ok with that. Race awareness also has a lot to do in this story. That’s one topic that hits very close to home at this point in time. Racism is a topic that many of use wished it didn’t excise, but this story is one of many that proves that our history is reacquiring again just at a different time frame in history. I enjoyed reading from other points of views. The sad true is that it does

    Racism is something that everyone has seen or faced, and it can hurt. The nameless Mexican boy has been confronted with discrimination by his teachers and peers. The students made cruel and racist comments “I don’t like Mexicans because they steal” or they use racial slurs like “Mex”. Being isolated because of something you can’t of something you can’t control is mournful and infuriating. Adults also made racist remarks about…

    It lets me reflect that the seriousness of slavery during 17 century and the importance of slave rebellion. I hope that people are getting along very well no matter what race or skin color they are. People would not judge them by their skin color or race and they could be treated as normal people. Slaves basically were just a labor and they should be treated as nomrmal people and had the privillege of liberty. Therefore, it's important to the ridiculous and system and I agree that ablolish the…

    Throughout the story, he had proved that she provided the utmost tolerance for him to have instead of apprehension for racial segregation. The Train from Hate has definitely changed one of my views over people. There is claim of consequence made towards the end that rather than focusing all of the hate and torturing oneself with the worthless comments made by others, it is an important step of valuing yourself over others by ignoring the hate and allowing that hate turn into something positive by surrounding it around positivity. This story has shown its qualities of teaching a valuable lesson to any person of color, race, or ethnicity. It’s what make “The Train from Hate” into a turn of events by reevaluating who the surroundings are and what you choose to make of…

    Watching these events unfold visually compelled me in way I never quite had been before from an emotional standpoint- the social implications of these events are so much graver and severe than I had even thought previously. As the documentary noted in the third act, racism is so deeply rooted in American soil that one born here or moving here after the most blatant forms of racism have vanished (segregation) finds themselves unwittingly fitting into racialized society. Without viewing films like these and having the kinds of discussions we do in class about institutionalized racism, it is rather easy to accept it as normal having grown up from a place of privilege.…

    The author was very successful in proving her point about the racism going on in the world. She first proved a point by telling her story because she is admitting that racism is something, and how she knows that it is. Her purpose was to inform people that racism is something and if someone that is young with a very racist family can overlook those things her family did, then she knows that people now can start to overlook t what happened in the…

    I learned many new things from this video. I learned that many people died in the black’s non-violent revolution for freedom and rights. I also learned that most African Americans were paid an average of only about $700. African Americans were denied education at all white schools, and were only allowed a less than average education at black schools. Under the Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education, a number of African American Honors students integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Every day they had to endure abuse from a huge angry mob that protested integration and wanted segregation. I feel that I would not have been able to put up with all that abuse. Those nine students that integrated Central High had great determination and never gave up hope. I also learned that it was a very long and hard struggle for all blacks during the Civil Rights Movement. The KKK terrorized blacks and killed them. Many African Americans were killed before they won the rights that they deserve. I was very proud of all the African Americans that participated in things like the Montgomery bus boycott because it showed that they weren’t afraid of standing up for themselves. I felt joyful that they always had the courage to stay non-violent, because if they turned to violence, the situation would not have turned out the same way. Now I will do anything that I can to eliminate discrimination of anyone because it is a very serious and destructive…

    By watching the film I have a deep understanding, I know racial distinction is not just by appearance, we don't really know what is race, actually the race is not important, but the race is still bringing great influence on people's lives. This film is about race, not about attitude and behavior of the individual, and in the past in the history of the institutional and policy in the United States is still on the basis of race, through sacrifice others bring interests for groups. The biggest benefit is the white, white we see at the time of life is so happy, but not because of their hard work, but because of their laws, courts, customs, even if the housing is a race.…

    We probably act the way the author explains in his essay due to our own life experiences but should not just hold that as something to keep in our minds, because not everyone is the same. Look at Staples now, his essay is now being given out in English classes for students to write their personal thoughts on it. This comes to show that as putting this article out it allows readers of the same kind of situation to give them the confidence and strength to not give up. We as people of the same human race should learn to accept people of every type of ethnicity for us to be greater…
