It is evident in both passages that towards the endings, both characters seem to feel more at peace with themselves upon their arrivals to their destinations.…

    Brooks’ “The Boy Died in My Alley” is written as dialogue between police and the speaker, who are discussing the death of a young boy. Lynda Koolish sees Brooks’ poem not only as an account of the boy’s death, but also as a source of insight into “the issue of individual transformation” when one is exposed to such violence (citation). Koolish believes the boy’s death, like that of other African American boys, was a “secondary [cause] to racism, poverty, powerlessness, and despair” (citation). The speaker, as recognized by Koolish, feels a sense of “accountability, not self-indulgent guilt” and “it is that accountability” that “transforms the waste of a young man's life into not only the hope for a different world but a call to action” (citation).…

    Three important Franciscan values at St. Bonaventure include discovery, community, and individual worth. I could relate to how minimally these values were portrayed throughout the book “Nobody” by Marc Lamont Hill. I grew up sheltered from most of the ugly in the world, but that did not stop me from seeing people oppress the vulnerable. It was tragic to hear the stories of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and the countless other victims of “America’s war on the vulnerable.” My heart dropped when I was reading Darren Wilson’s testimony.…

To not be ashamed of who they are and where they’d come from? " It’d leave him wondering how it would feel to be accepted. It’s tough to imagine children experiencing something as horrid as discrimination, it’s even harder to believe they’re also the ones causing it. How they see the universe and everybody in it is influenced by those around them.…
