    The life of Luis J. Rodriguez as told through the book Always running: Gang Days in L.A.

    Tame A Wild Tongue And Hurston: A Comparative Analysis

    Sometimes we go through life struggling to accept our identity or we try to fit a certain standard that is set by those other than ourselves,but in the end, only a select few abandon who they truly are. In this essay, I will be comparing the authors of “How To Tame A Wild Tongue” by Gloria Anzaldua, and “How It Feels to Be Colored Me” by Zora Hurston. Both Anzaldua and Hurston struggled to accept their identity based on social and cultural differences within their surroundings. This inevitably caused them to realize that what society rejects them for is what makes them who they are, and they accept it.…

    Zoot Suitors Summary

    Throughout this story I feel like the theme that is stressed the most would be how Latin Americans had to deal with being discriminated against. Riots broke out between the Zoot Suiters and the public around the L.A. area during the WWII. Latinos were discriminated and accused of being criminals because of their skin and wild style of dressing They were known as the "Zoot Suitors". The suits that they wore had long, broad shouldered coats. Extra baggy pants that fit tight at the ankles. They wore a long chain pocket watch and a broad brimmed hat with a feather in it. This was how Pachucos dressed in their early years. This was how they felt they were able to express themselves but the public and the press tried to use their tradition against…

    How Did Jesus's Decision Not To Help The White Mother

    Jesus colon made the decision not to help the white lady, but I disagree with his decision not to help. Since it was 1961 and the color of your skin was judged by different races, I can understand why Jesus did not ask the white lady because he thought he might get himself in jail or something even worse like getting beaten to death. Also that is showing that Jesus is being very cautious. I think Jesus should have decided to ask the lady if he could have helped her because he knew that was the right thing to do. Also asking is showing that he he has respect which is better than just helping the child because then he could get in serious trouble. If Jesus was another race, for example a white man he may have gone and asked and not have been…

    Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois and the Struggle for Racial Uplift

    The injustice of racism and its evident role in some of Americas most prominent political and social aspects have perpetuated rigorous and squalor lifestyles for those of non-Caucasian ancestry. Jacqueline Moore clearly states evidence how white people have such a long history of being the dominant group and why it is so hard for blacks to assimilate. In the book the writer simply told us a story of 2 men’s journeys for racial uplift and wanted us to decide the theme for ourselves, telling both sides of the story in order to let us choose which of them we might agree with more. The author did a good job letting us know Washington and Du Bois’s goals. The style of the novel is interconnected with its themes. In the novel, not only does Moore convey the ideas and concepts of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Dubois, but Moore also illustrates the theories of which consists of gradualism and immediacy.…

    In the story, the author is getting pulled in various directions. Rodriguez wants to stay true to his Mexican culture for his parents' sake claiming they, “...grow distant, apart, no longer speak,” but also wants to belong in American culture where his education has driven him to a position not many Mexicans get to or have to opportunity to be (Rodriguez 105).

    An Analysis Of Marx's 'White Savior Mentality'

    White Savior mentality occurs when a white person in power believes that it is their duty to take people of other cultural backgrounds and to make them whiter. This is seen when the tutor Claire is being asked to tutor Juan, a lower class Hispanic child. His parent want to have Juan tutored to learn English. Though Clair has a negative outlook on Juan’s parents, when asked about it she explained that, “they basically hired me, and I told them I would do it for free-they paid me a little bit –but they basically wanted someone else to do it (Marx pg. 59).” Claire is interpreting the parent’s want for a good education for Juan as lazy and uncaring. She believed that it was her duty to help this poor Hispanic boy and that she should help…

    West African American Identity Analysis

    The laborer looks up to the white-man and catches a glimpse of a life that he or she wishes to have, but instead has the fate of working endlessly in a field due to the color of skin. A stripped sense of identity leads these laborers to long for a table to sit at, or a bed to sleep on with a loved one. The envy generated from the colonized man further strips away any residue of the soul within the laborer. The laborer is left with just an empty shell longing to be filled with endless…

    The Journey of Two American Girls

    How can an African American and a Hispanic girls be treated different when they are the same type of person? I chose the theme of race and ethnicity when I selected the poems “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl” by Patricia Smith and “Child of the Americas” by Aurora Levin Morales. I am a Hispanic person with an African ancestry. I speak fluent Spanish and English and have experience life from both sides of the continent. The poems show how African American and Hispanics American girls lives were affected based on their race and ethnicity. The life of the African American girl life was affected because of her race and racism; while the life of the Hispanic American girl life was (not) affected because of her ethnicity. While both the African American and Hispanic American girls were born on American soil, racism affected the African American girl’s way she lived her life while ethnicity (heritage) played a major role in Hispanic American girl’s life.…

    Life of Black

    “Liberating Christ” is a critique of Langston Hughes, “On the Road” by Carolyn P. Walker. Hughes uses barely over 1000 words to narrate his story. His great skills of using metaphor, symbolism and imagery are some of few techniques of his great work. Hughes uses nature to express Sargeant’s refusal to participate in life. In Liberating Christ, Walker’s says Hughes has done serious criticism of racial discrimination. There were few other points we will be looking into oppression, anger and hardship and how all of those are put together to overcome racial barriers. To describe Racism between black and white, Hughes uses snow, dark, two doors, dark and light. All these to describe how Sargeant is discriminated and suffers on a “cold night; unsheltered, too hungry, too sleepy and too tired” (Hughes, 55).…

    How It Feel to Be Colored Me and How to Tame a Wild Tongue

    Sometimes we know who and what we are, but it’s impossible to wear an identity without becoming what we pretend to be or bullied into silence allowing ourselves to be made a victim to oppression. In this essay I’m comparing the authors of “How it Feel to Be Colored Me by Zora Hurston, and How to Tame a Wild Tongue by Gloria Anzaldua. Gloria Anzaldua became a victim of oppression by accepting society expectations of the Chicano culture. Meanwhile, Zora Hurston accepted who she is despite who people perceived her as because of her skin color.…
