Personal Narrative Essay: The Black Society

Superior Essays
In a post-apocalyptic modern Japan, 35% that is in ruins from the mass attack of Akatsu when they first appeared, has been abandoned. This night was named the Akayume (赤夢 - red dream), as a way to describe the rain that turned red with the blood of the victims lost that day and the collective thoughts of the people who wished with all their might that it was nothing but a bad dream.

We used this abandoned place to get rid of anything that would bring chaos, to create a system where its citizens could live without fear. That 35% part of the country is called the Black Society, where you can get your hands on anything illegal that's been banned and where most criminals and those in poverty live. The leader of that Black Society is none other than the Father of one

"Hah?"

"If...you stopped using it, then you wouldn't have to go through all this. You have a choice!"

You wouldn't have to kill people. Even though he didn't say that, I could hear it in his voice. That was the first I wanted to punch someone with my bare hands. "You know better than that. In order to protect him, to make up for not having a proper ability, I can only rely on my skills in using a sword and training to master my Ki." The most important requirement to kill Akatsu is that you must have a unique ability, because if you don't, it's more likely that they will take advantage of the darkness in your heart.

"It's not like it's the only way to fight the Akatsu!"

Why was he being so stubborn and hot-headed about this? "By completely mastering Ki, I can use it for strength, speed, invisibility, healing and it's even more useful in Martial Arts. Of course there's also transmitting your Ki to your weapon to increase the success rate of hitting your target and a higher percent rate of causing damage..." I said pointing at him. "Like you do with your guns and every other person who has been able to master it. Our Ki is the best weapon against those

    During Michigan winters I look forward to February, because it’s filled with celebration of my culture. Black History Month evokes a strong sense of pride. However, since entering high school every February has been a greater disappointment than the last as Black History Month was nothing more than a fleeting thought and a tokenized moment. Feburary of my junior year began without a single poster, announcement, or even small speech. So, I decided to lead a project to bring recognition.…

    When I was in six grade, my PE coach made it clear to me that I wasn't alone, and I could accomplish anything I put the time and effort into. He was the football coach for Atascocita middle school. An African American in his late 20s, very friendly, and Guidable when it came to his students. On the first day of school as a new student with no knowledge of the language, I was extremely terrified to transform from speaking different language, and having a similar set of friends into an inexperienced world and dissimilar students who I had absolutely nothing in common with. Fortunately, I had my brother as a personal translator throughout the year.…

    I am with a White-American society because of the fact that I was brought up in the United States. I have no understanding of fighting to get to a place where I have more open doors unlike foreigners do. As I would like to think, my way of life is collectivistic on the grounds that even in school, educators taught to the masses and kind of instilled that the needs of one pupil who did not comprehend something were out weighed by most of the class that could move on and keep pace with other classmates in the same grade. This was wrong in light of the fact that with pupils, learning in specific subjects did not come easily and they end up leaving their insight in a few subjects exceptionally poor compared with understudies of the same age,…

    I believe there are no words that can describe the African American experience from throughout 1609-1865. Although if I were to choose one word to describe African American history at the time I would it as a dark time for African Americans because many slaves were beaten to death abandoned on ships and some did not survive the ruff life of slavery. By 1850, ninety-two percent of all American blacks lived in the South, and about 95 of the 92 percent were slaves. The Societies of the North and South were very different. Pre-civil war slaves in America went through a great deal of chaos and sadness in the South.…

    The black experience is one journey that is unique to every single black person that resides on this earth; although, some black’s experience might be similar, not one will ever be the same, so if you don’t mind I would like you take on my trip of what I deem as the back experience. Being black you’re underestimated at birth just based off the color of your skin and you are look at as nothing but a hopeless statistics; however, the power to knock down those statistical barriers you must realize your greatness and no one could of realized it more than Wilma Rudolph who stated “Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.” If you look back at every monumental person in black history such as: Martin Luther…

    I never really thought too much about racism when growing up. Maybe that is due to my upbringing. I was raised in a small diverse country town where, for the most part, everyone got along. Not to say that there was no racism; it just was not seen very often. Some would call me lucky to have been so naïve in my microcosm.…

    I have felt many pressures, race is such a big problem among black people but as community can get over the hump of being pressured into a few stereotypes. From my own personal experience being a young black man growing up in many places of black being the majority such as Detroit, Chicago, New York I felt an amazing amount of comfort around these areas. Once I move down to La Vernia Texas, being enrolled into an all white school with a lot of Mexicans and the only black people could only fit on a bench in a hallway that we called “The Black Bench” in high school, I attended La Vernia school district for 7 years from 4th grade all the way to 10th grade in high school.
