    Wright combines argument and narration throughout this short story and he speaks about self-hatred that blacks have. This was a touching part of the story because it shows how someone can hate you passionately. Then you realize how much so many people hate you and treat you so badly that you begin to hate your own self. The narrator has a dream, "like any other American of going into business and making money" (889) he knows that this dream is impossible with so many white people that would do anything to keep a black person from living a dream or seeing them happy.…

    Throughout the centuries, there have been an infinite amount of literary works written by a sea of authors that write a variety of genres. All of these works are precious in their own way, and even if their theme is similar to that of another, the author always ads a bit of his/her own flare in order to make said literary creation unique in some way. William Wordsworth’s “London 1802” and Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “Douglass”, although quite similar in form and sentence structure, do add their own flare through the use of specific details. Through the use of these devices, the speakers show their disgust for the evil deeds humans do and attempt to change them.…

    There are many examples of words having power throughout The Book Thief. One example that glorifies this theme is on page 64. On page 64, Liesel is having horrible dreams and wakes up feeling panicked and afraid. Papa comes to her rescue and starts to read The Gravedigger’s Handbook. As Papa reads to Liesel, she feels comforted and safe. They sit and read for hours, skipping the words that they do not know. The power of words brings a sense of relaxation and serenity to Liesel and words begin to form a deep bond between Liesel and Hans. Another example of the power of words is on page 105. Hans Jr. and Hans get into a major argument. Hans Jr. calls his father a coward which results in Hans Jr. storming out,…

    As just young children, we are almost immediately taught about the power of our words. Parents constantly lecture children on the consequences of what they say, emphasizing how powerful just one word can be to someone. Often, we are taught this with bullying. A common saying we learned as children is “If you don’t have nothing to say, don’t say it at all.” Throughout Shakespeare’s epic, Richard III, there is a clear theme showing the power of word choice. Richard uses words to gain power, woo Lady Anne, motivate his army, and to trick Hastings in putting himself to death. Throughout Richard III, Shakespeare shows the power of diction in getting what one wants.…

    Mark Twain, American humorist and novelist, captured a world audience with stories of boyhood adventure and with commentary on man's shortcomings that is satirical while it probes, often bitterly, the roots of human behavior. Additionally, the many facets of Twain include: his incomparable humor, his revolutionary use of vernacular language, his exploration of the realities of American life, his irreverence and skepticism, his profound grappling with issues of race and his fearless opposition to the injustices and outrages of an imperialistic age. Illuminating a moral prompted by some deep and sincerely felt sentiment, Twain held strong faith in the clarity and cleansing possibilities of the written word. Maverick,…

    Richard Wright owes the awakening of his consciousness to his curiosity over why a Southern newspaper would describe a white man, an author named H. L. Mencken, as a fool. The newspaper’s harsh criticism of Mencken made Wright, a black man in the American South, feel somewhat sympathetic of Mencken and curious to know why “the South, which had assigned me the role of a non-man, cast at him its hardest words?” (9). In his first reading of Mencken’s writing, Wright finds out the answer. Mencken’s writing is forceful and bold. Wright observes, “this man was fighting, fighting with words. He was using words as a weapon, using them as one would use a club” (11). This lead Wright to the further realization that “Then, maybe, perhaps, I could use them as a weapon? No. It frightened me” (12). Although the thought frightened him, it also caught Wright’s interest and he continued to read more and more books.…

    Violence In Art

    A complex physical force of nature, violence is portrayed as more than just a cruel and brute force in both Maggie Nelson’s “Great to Watch,” and Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell a True War Story.” Art is an expression of the human imagination and violence is used as a form of art. Some people tend to define violence as another form of expression- one of hostility, aggression, and anger. Art is an expression of creation, whereas violence is an expression of destruction, which Nelson and O’Brien observe the media and authors try to use to get others to confront the realities of life. Both writers believe that the message people attempt to create, by using violence as a form of art, gets distorted and often creates more problems than solutions. Although…

    Their sacrifice was never to be taken for granted, especially by going out and making poor choices, which led to issues with the “white folks.” We see in the essay how the narrator not only receives a negative reaction from his mother, but how through the use of metaphor, Wright shows how she, “…grabbed a barrel stave, dragged me home, stripped me naked, and beat me till I had a fever…” This is an indicator of just how much the narrator’s mother believed her son to have made a huge mistake. Rather than caring for him and his wounds, she proceeds to teach him a valuable lesson: an African American boy is inferior and must never get involved with the white race in any way that isn’t respectful. To continue his secondary claim, the author shares how when the narrator is offered a ride by some white men who later feel disrespected for his lack of referring to them as “sir,” they beat him up and ask him if he has, “...learned t’ say sir t’ a white man yet?” This further develops his argument by demonstrating how much more superior the white men felt compared to African Americans. They were expected, like slaves under their order, to address them as if they were responding to an authority…
