The way in which composers convey their ideas dependent on their use of distinctive visuals.

Between January 7, 1832 and May 4, 1833, William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper, The Liberator, published six articles by abolitionist and black nationalist Maria W. Stewart.1 In these articles, Stewart spoke in two seemingly contradictory registers as she described God's interactions with humanity. On the one hand, she portrayed a gentle God who directed his angels to carry oppressed individuals "into Abraham's bosom [where] they shall be comforted" ("Address: Delivered before" 66); on the other hand, she warned sinners-specifically white American sinners-of a wrathful and violent God who was on the verge of sending "horror and devastation" to the world ("Address, Delivered in"). While these two images may seem paradoxical to contemporary readers,…

Conflict and tension can be seen as going hand in hand when discussing the early ideals of America. Two authors in particular, Rebecca Harding Davis and Harriet Jacobs, focus on the pitfalls hidden within the might of industry of the era, and life as a slave and paradoxical nature freedom can have when it forms, respectively. Davis uses the story of Wolfe and his cousin to show the conditions which hold the greatness of America up in the light, hiding the workers in the shadow below. Jacobs writes of the attic as a place of confinement, a place taking freedom away, yet it also represents freedom to choose her own prison, as she is trapped because she chose to be trapped, rather than being used for forced sex. Tensions exist within both as an outside observer looks in, the dream of America clashing with the reality of what fuels it, as well as the paradoxical nature of choosing to be imprisoned to gain freedom rather than being free but chained to a…

Ellen Foster was written by Kaye Gibbons, and the book is narrated by a young girl named Ellen Foster, telling the reader about the unique childhood she experienced, filled with an abusive father and many different homes and experiences that a ten year old child typically wouldn’t have. When interpreting the book Ellen Foster through a social power lense, you can see that the power of the society and the way Ellen grew up, and the experiences she had under the power of her elders, really pushed her to overcome her moral challenges and become a better person. If Ellen was raised in a normal home, she probably wouldn’t have stayed friends with Starletta, or overcome the internal racism that everyone possessed in the period that the book was written.…
