Bit

Two-Bit Two-Bit is a very easygoing character, from his jokes to his deep gray eyes, from his black-handled switchblade to his unfathomable liking of school. Two-Bit is a dynamic character. While not appearing in the story too much, he is a main part of the protagonists: The Outsiders. Two-Bit is laid-back, even in school. “He was still a junior at eighteen and a half and he never learned anything. He just went for kicks.” (Hinton, 10) This shows that Two-Bit is not stressing anything, that…

In God’s Bits of Wood, the rites of passage approach is used to explain some social commentary in African communities and gives insight on how they go about life and why things are the way they are. The social commentary explained through the rites of passage is that of how women in the African societies went from…

Rashad Jones World History 1320 MWF 11:00 a.m. Pre-colonial African society was traditionally very patriarchal and male-dominated. In, “God’s Bits of Wood,” the author Sembene Ousmane tells how the invasion of a technological, capitalist market economy and a railroad strike effected the gender relations between men and women and how the status of women was altered. During this time the men ran everything and were very dominant in and outside of their households. The technological advances…

to offer. As a husband and wife, Missie Mae and Joe fell into a deep, young love. Although Missie Mae cheats on her husband in order to get what he desired the most, Joe doesn’t leave her. Joe, in Zora Neal Hurston’s short story, “The Gilded Six-Bits,” forgives Missy Mae because of their happiness, true love, and new family.

There are many lessons to be learned in life, lessons which are learned through conversations, mishaps, and great experiences. One experience I had was a little bit of all three. It was a conversation, started wrong, but nevertheless ended up being a great experience in which I learned an important lesson, that there are times to give up, and times to not give up, and sometimes even though giving up might seem like the right option, not giving up can lead to great success.

the message or theme usually relates to love or substance abuse. A few decades ago, the messages were comparable, and even though society was quite different then, the themes in music were relatively the same.
