Good evening Natishia,
This poem is very interesting I have never read it before, I truly love it and if this is what a little black girl truly went through I am forever sorry. This is very sad and if I lived in this historical period to see this, I would be shot with my mouth and attitude. Considering I do not believe in God put anyone on this earth to live like this. Now, on with your poem, your explanation does flow smoothly with your evidence so it does not need you to explain much more detail about it. I know I am not one to analyze anyone’s paper trust me, I need help myself, but I am not sure about your thesis. If this is your introduction and your thesis, and your thesis should be that of the last sentence or two; is it based on

    Hari Kondabolu: Poem Analysis

    Stemming from a progressive household, Hari Kondabolu’s humor is a reflection of how he was raised. Kondabolu is a comedian who uses his voice to discuss social issues regarding race, sexuality, identity, and civil rights. Under the guise of comedy, Kondabolu is able to raise awareness and share his stance on the subjects, while maintaining real humor that people can laugh along and relate to. Kondabolu cites his identity as the catalyst for the beginning of his career, as the lack of Asian representation in the comedy business was, and still is, quite scarce. His identity as an Indian-American was prominent in most of his sketches, as he would mimic Indian accents and perpetrate Indian stereotypes.…

So why are your upset that Nat Turner and his supporters killed nearly seventy five when you the white man have killed hundreds if not thousands of men, women and children of slavery. Mentally and physically you enslaved me until 1865. The Insurrection response was more of a character identifier something like a Shakespeare “where cometh thou.”…

    Literary Analysis Of Claude Mckay's If We Must Die

    Claude McKay’s “If We Must Die” is a bold poem written during an eventful time for civil rights history, the Harlem Renaissance. During the Harlem Renaissance the African American community endured extreme racism and degradation. McKay wrote this poem with the intent to display his feelings as an immigrant who moved to America for a better life but instead was thrown into a situation where he was treated like an animal instead of a person. He chose to write this poem in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet, which ironically is a more common form for the writing of love poems and “if we must die” is nothing of the sort.…

    Pre-Independence Indian Poetry Analysis

    INTRODUCTION Pre-Independence Indian English Poetry: Origins, and Predominant Themes and Styles The emergence of Indian writing in English has a long history which dates back to the colonial times when English used to be the language of British rulers and a few aristocratic Indians who were deeply enthralled by this language of their subjugators. Makarand Paranjape in Indian Poetry in English mentions the two preconditions that were to be met before Indians could write poetry in En¬glish: “First, the English language had to be sufficiently Indianized to be able to express the reality of the Indian situation; secondly, Indians had to be sufficiently Anglicized to use the English language to express themselves” (1). The first of these two conditions, the Indianization of the En¬glish language, began much before the second, the Anglicization of the Indians.…
