Perhaps it was the way that her attitude and finesse for something greater drew me in and got me so closely attached.
Every word I listened to with genuine care for her well being, hoping that I wouldn't hold too tightly.

Hellish times returned for both her and I, and whether or not she could see it in me, I could not bring myself to face with my demons; perhaps that is why, though why I shall never fully understand for why is beyond my comprehension in this life.

    When looking at Barbara Field’s and Omi and Winant’s theoretical models within the narrative of Frederick Douglass’ My Bondage and My Freedom, it can be observed that racial projects are a large proponent of creating and recreating the ideology of race in social structures. It is through the distribution of materials and divisions of peoples by racial distinctions that the ideology of race is reaffirmed throughout the records of Frederick Douglass. Reading and understanding the narrative through the modes of these two theories provide a unique and expository lens to the functionality and flaws of the racial institution that controlled the social structure of the time. Omi and Winant define a racial project to be, “simultaneously an interpretation,…

    In his personal essay, “Captivity”, Sherman Alexie develops an intriguing view on the complexities of the relationship between Native Americans and European Americans, criticizing Caucasians for hypocrisy and fight for power between the two. His many examples comparing the relations between Whites and Native Americans in his essay, while formidable to producing his argument, are helped significantly by a metaphor presented through the mentioning of Mary Rowlandson, a historical figure who was held captive by Native Americans. Alexie’s argument as to the counter productivity and fear produced as a result of race is brought to light partially through the historical reference to the character Mary Rowlandson, reversing roles where instead of the White person being captive, the Native American is. The introduction of Mary Rowlandson in the piece isn’t until the third section,…
