    In Chapter 1 of the second paragraph of W.E.B. DuBois’s The Souls of Black Folk, DuBois uses a descriptive style of writing to create a sense of deep spiritual connection with his reader. DuBois incorporated numerous vivid phrases, such as “rollicking boyhood” and “wee wooden schoolhouse” to deliver the reader into the very place and time of an unforgettable event that happened when he was a young child. This event sets the tone of his book as it gives the reader an explanation for the motives behind every decision he made in his lifetime. The words “vast veil” becomes a powerful way to grasp the very essence of DuBois’s feelings toward white people. In a unique application of “the blue sky”, DuBois constructs a vibrant picture of joyful…

    The depth of the impact that prejudice embarked on his life is the main focal point W.E.B. DuBois establishes in Chapter 1, paragraph 2 of his book The Souls of Black Folk. DuBois magnificently orchestrates an allure for the reader as he opens the paragraph with his earliest memory as a young lad. He reveals a story of how the attitude of one girl planted roots of discrimination deep down in his soul. As DuBois’s boyhood grew into adolescent youth, the feelings of social rejection were nourished with a longing for equal treatment among the white community. Every event blossomed into an opportunity of challenge as he persevered to surpass his white opponents. He relished in self-gratification with every successful achievement. As a mature…

    No individual had the same family background and early experiences in their lives. Each individual also had their own personalities. Chris McCandless was a young and successful college graduate with a job and had money. Oddly, he decided to disappear in response to his father’s misjudgment, giving away his money and overall, became homeless. McCandless could no longer deal with life and left his old life. He ended up in the wilderness of Alaska, living in a trailer. Chris was an intelligent, intense young man with a stubborn mindset. He grew up in a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C., where he succeeded both academically and athletically. In 1990 he graduated from Emory University with honors, and soon afterwards gave all of his savings to charity, and started going by "Alex," abandoning almost all of his possessions, and spent two years hitchhiking and traveling around the west. He went to Alaska, where he journied alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley in April 1992. Gene Rosellini (also known as Mayor of Hippie Cove) was a brilliant man from a wealthy family who decided to see if he could live his life “independent of modern technology.” He succeeded for over a decade before deciding his experiment failed.

    Soul food brings the sensation of love and pride that has been perfected over decades of African American Culture. It first emerged around 1619 when the first enslaved Africans arrive to Jamestown, Virginia. There, Soul food was able to provide enslaved Africans an identity and a sense of belonging among all the challenges and hardship that they had to endure. One of the many obstacles that slaves have to face is obtaining the right amount of nourishment for survival because often times slave masters control every aspect of an slave's diet.
