In her play A Raisin in the Sun, playwright Loraine Hansberry uses the characters of Joseph Asagai and George Murchinson to show the themes of race and sexism. Compared to other characters, Asagai and George appear very little. However, their dialogues with the Beneatha display their opinions on the issues of race and sexism. While Asagai symbolizes the African American heritage and support of women’s rights, George displays the assimilationist African American and the sexism found in Chicago…

Heritage Lost: Walker’s Use of Symbolism in “Everyday Use” The main character in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” has more education than both her mother and sister, Mama and Maggie. Ironically, Dee is given the privilege to learn more about the world outside of her home, but in the process loses attachments to her own heritage. Walker shows that the many quilts Dee’s mother had received as wedding gifts symbolize the strong connections she has with her ancestors and the struggles they had to…

In Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun, the character’s interactions with each other reveal what internal thoughts would reveal in an ordinary book. Two of the characters who are not a part of the Younger family are the men in Beneatha Younger’s life. Hailing from decidedly different upbringings, George Murchison and Joseph Asagai provide opposing viewpoints on the American way of life. Through the contrast between Beneatha’s love interests Hansberry shows the conflict between…

The movies I am about analyze are from different time periods. I will be comparing and contrasting The Broken strings released in 1942, Directed by Berard B ray. and Imperial dreams released in 2016 Directed by Malik Vithal. In both movies the main characters have to strive, but are faced with completely dissimilar situations. In Broken dreams a noted violinist Arthur Williams suffers a hand injury which ends his playing career, his hopes are transferred to his son, who prefers swing music to…

1. Mr. Goebel and other African American candidates are casualties of racial separation due to the organization's enlisting strategy. The employing strategy was not purposeful, but rather it resulted in a divergent effect. African American candidates are more averse to hold a secondary school confirmation or GED and normal lower scores on the IQ test contrasted with White hopefuls. The IQ test is not applicable to the capacity to play out the Assistant Manager part inside the organization. Per…

a trailblazer that helped open the floodgates for Korean baseball players in the KBO to be able to come over to the United States and sign bigger contracts. In a nutshell, Choo put the KBO on the map and he even opened the gates for Major League baseball players to go to South Korea and find their game again in an attempt to extend their career. With that said, the last player we will discuss in terms of notable athletes to come from South Korea is actually an American born player that came to…

The Battle of Baltimore: Behind the Scenes Jaime Lee Fritze History 111 Community College of Baltimore County November 15, 2014 The Forgotten War The War of 1812 is often a footnote in American History. The Battle for Baltimore is a whisper in the minds of most Americans and then because the Star Spangled Banner was written about the British attack on Fort McHenry. The Battle of North Point coincided with the bombardment of Fort McHenry and is even lesser known.…

I align myself with the youth of Baltimore City. Since enrolling in a Baltimore City Public School, I feel more connected to the rest of the city and the issues that affect young people daily. There is often times negative, and discriminatory image of us, which I admittedly used to have myself. During my young life, I thought those in public school were uniformly impoverished, aggressive, and, for lack of a better term, “ghetto.” I was insecure about my voice, my packed lunch, even my own safety…
