The Jones And The Baby Black Analysis
The societal struggle to understand both stories characters and what they're going through life is in their secrets that they can only tell to the readers. In both stories not many know what going on in their lives and simply ignore them because their secrets are keeping the society from knowing the truth for acknowledging the issues there facing, (But then it was time for X to start school. The Joneses were really worried about this, because school was even more full of rules for boys and girls but not xes) (Gould,2) (we're amazed that you think rights are an issue here) (Black, 37) but in both stories the characters keep their issues a secret and only choose tell the readers and give them insights of how they really feel on the inside opposed to how they …show more content…
The strangers would stop smiling then, and often snarl something nasty - as if the Joneses had snarled at them. (Black,2)

There's a conversation that hasn't been had, I tell Sam. The conversation human beings have with each other. He with each other. He isn't quite treating us like people. (Gould, 36)

People keep shutting them out because there don't fit in to society and they don't want to hear them out. They also made there problems worse by examination of x thinking that they solve the problem, and Ruth's neighbour fencing off land because you want to solve the problems of your own life without thinking of the others involved.

These two stories show similarities in secrets, and issues and problems even though there troubles that may be big or small, their secrets are kept to themselves and are ignored by society's way of thinking shutting both characters in the story out making life for them slightly or majorly hard by doing what in their best interests to do. Secrets can be hard to open, if no one understands the people around

    In the beginning Locke tells us about “the tide of Negro migration”. During this time in a movement known as the Great Migration, thousand of African Americans also known as Negros left their homes in the South and moved North toward the beach line of big cities in search of employment and a new beginning.

    Both text have a similar theme, they both compare someone being trapped in something. Both characters want to escape what they are trapped in. For example, in the story "Boy's Life" the character is stuck in school and can’t wait until the bell rings. Which means that he is trying to leave or escape the place he is in, but he is held for a longer time because the teacher wants to discuss something with him and he doesn’t pay attention when she is talking to him which means he doesn’t have patience to listen all he wants to do is leave.…

    People who have read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck should know that there are a lot of similarities and differences compared to the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The central message of these two books display some good and bad times of two male friends and the struggle of their friendship. In the book, Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie have a tough time getting along through their journey of living on a farm. In the book A Separate Peace, Gene finds it hard to accept Finny as a true friend, since Gene thinks he is invincible. These books would not be the same if Lennie was not handicap and Finny was not perfect. There are many similar themes that could go along with these books, but only three work best. The story of Gene and Finny’s relationship compared to the story of George and Lennie’s teach many comparable life lessons because they both display friendship, the American dream, and the coming of age.…

The fate of their loved ones means the world to them, and for this reason they persevere through whatever comes at them, though they have already sacrificed so much. Mike, though capable of achieving much more than what he does, works in a mill so that Mary and his children can live better right up until his death. As a family, it is inherent that they hold the same morals, but the similarities go beyond that.…

    This paper presents the life experience of two African-Americans as slaves during the nineteenth century. Henry Bibb was the author of his own narrative, which he published in 1849 with the assistance of Lucius Matlack. The second source was the narrative of W. L. Bost, a slave from North Carolina. He was interviewed as many other enslaved African-Americans by the members of the Federal Writer’s Project around the 1930s. The purpose of these narratives was to describe to the public what it meant to be slave at that period of time. Both authors recalled the difficult and cruel conditions they faced during their journey as slaves. First, they were sold as merchandises on the market. Bost depicted that both men and women were chained and inappropriately…
