Tim Wise video White Like Me change my understanding of white privilege. I have always heard my mother and grandparents speak of “white privilege” from a young age. Tim provided me with a better understanding of the phrase “white privilege”. The video did not change or challenge my views or what I have been taught about white privilege. Being a black male you see white privilege all the time. The video has extended my knowledge when it referred to how deep this thing call white privilege goes. Tim

English 1020.11N 17 September 2012 A Girl Like Me While reading a book by the name‚ “Pretty Little Liars‚” I found myself favoring a tall‚ slender‚ dark haired character by the name of Aria Montgomery. This character immediately jumped out at me when I started to notice that she had many of the same qualities as and also had been through many of the same experiences as I have. So when asked to right this paper is was not a brainier. It made me realize the reason I was drawn to her was because

Sinners Like Me “And when the doctor smacked him‚ you can bet your ass he took a swing‚ ‘cause he comes from a long line of sinners like me.” That line‚ that song‚ it’s all so true. Eric church had hit the nail on the head about me and my family when he wrote “Sinners Like Me.” The whole song‚ from the guitar to the lyrics‚ just describes us. The lyrics tell a story about not just Eric‚ but all the people like him. It talks about getting caught with their first beer‚ losing a family member that

Black Like Me: Racism Is A Foolism Misunderstanding of Man All men are created equal... or are they? John Griffin’s "Black Like Me" shows how racism is nothing more then the foolish misunderstanding of man. White’s current superiority hangs in the balance as Blacks become tired of being the minority‚ in the late 1950’s. Even though this struggle isn’t as dreadful as it was then‚ it still exists. The certainty of racism can’t be ignored but it will soon disappear as generations mix. Racial

I’m surprised to see some people moving to the status “vegetarian” and this worries me for some rationality. These vegetarians who were once traditional eaters have transformed their diet to green-eaters. For example‚ they have become sympathizes towards animals. Especially towards “cows”. In fact‚ Taylor Clark‚ the author of “Meatless Like Me” one day‚ “realized that he could never look a cow in the eyes” and he felt as if he was doing something “cruel and unnecessary”

selected was “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (For those who don’t know)”. This is a poem written by Patricia Smith. The three elements of the poem that I found to be engaging were the tone‚ the content‚ and the language that the author uses. This poem struck some feelings in me. Therefore I am taking a descriptive approach to my response. As a black woman I felt somewhat belittled by the tone that this author uses in this poem. She speaks about the idea of being a black girl as being someone

of “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (for those of you who aren’t)” by Patricia Smith‚ is just that‚ an explanation. From the first three syllables “First of all‚” the author gives a sense of a story being told. She uses jagged sentence structure and strong forceful language to also show the reader the seriousness of her topic. Smiths poem gives the audience an insider’s view into a young black girl’s transition into black woman-hood at a time where both being a black girl and a black woman was not

The two poems‚ ‘What it’s like to be a black girl’ and ‘Child of the Americans’ are of great inspiration to the readers. The two poems relate especially with the African Americans‚ who face many life challenges‚ together with these being discussed in the two poems. This caught my interest as the subjects and events talked about in both poems are real and happen in the society each passing day. In the poem what it’s like to be a black girl‚ the choice made by the girl is desirable. She is determined
