Decent Essays

While I experienced something like his recently with my great mother-daughter getting hurt and having to go to surgery the same day. I made me grateful for my own mother, and how I am happy that she is alive even though I'm not close with her. Nevertheless, Trevor noah had a very close relationship with his mother. For when his mother he cried but it was “not a cry of sadness”. “It was an expression of raw pain that can from an inability of my body to express that pain in other way,shape, or form.” I interpret it as Trevor never expletives nothing like this and didn't know how to react to it and feel the same

    The authors Giovanni and Brooks would be considered on the opposite sides of the spectrum as far as political and social views. As I read “Racism 101” by Nikki Giovanni and “People like us” by David Brooks I was uninterested at first while reading their pieces due to the fact that I understood everything they were saying.

Through the many opportunities and experiences in my life, I have been pushed into challenging multicultural environments, loss of life situations with people of different races, and accomplishing enduring tasks with people that I might not have favored but we had a common goal and we got over our…

    The relationship between father and son is something complex and fragile. It is generally built from childhood, a very tender point in life, and in some cases the father chooses to shirk his responsibilities rather than be an active presence in their child’s life. This is an incredibly popular topic in all facets of media, and is the subject of “All Over but the Shoutin”, by Rick Bragg.
