Dried fruit

Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. (Abel Meeropol 1903-1986) In The Strange Fruit, Abel Meeropol graphically describes bodies hanging like festering fruit on trees. He strips away the veneer of the beautiful South to expose the horrors that black people suffered. This poem chills me and frustrates me, since racist murderers walked free just because others turned a…

Man’s fall from grace into a world of sin is something that is often explored and analyzed for judgements and observations to be made; however, not every detail gains notice. The basis is always covered, Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil disguised as a serpent to trick them into eating the apple from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and as result a state of innocence fell into a state of corruption met with a life sentence full of sin. This act of disobedience would…

leads to the assumption, that Adam is contemplating or envisioning what it would be like to eat the fruit of knowledge, and what he would gain from it. It is in human nature to be curious, but why can Adam not accept the fact that he cannot comprehend the entire world and that some matters are not meant for his knowing (185 lines 167-168). Adam’s cures his burning curiosity as he eats the forbidden fruit (lines 1003-1006), but the knowledge that he gains from this is that of the world,…

For example, if Milton did not imply that women are not as smart as men (which they are, of course), Eve would never have made the decision to seek out temptation, and she would not have been tempted to eat the fruit, which means she would not have convinced Adam to eat the fruit, essentially just meaning that the cause of the Fall can be blamed on Eve's extreme ignorance. Surprisingly, Eve seems to do, say, or think all sorts of things that make us want to blame her for the fall.…

The two boys were Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith were both African Americans who were lynched by a mob full of generally peaceful citizens who had been induced into mob mentality.

All State has a series of ads where a man plays “Mayhem,” a character used to sit in for extraordinary, but possible, disasters while simultaneously narrating them with dark humor. The best example of All State’s Mayhem commercials is their 2013 Super Bowl Commercial, Mayhem Forbidden…

When I first heard Billie Holiday sing Strange Fruit, I was immediately saddened by her tone. It instantly gripped my attention because she started the song off referring to a “strange fruit.” This reference automatically made me listen closely to see what “fruit” she was speaking of. The next line talked about blood on the trees’ leaves and roots which instantly stirred up feeling of sadness. This song describes the lynching of African Americans in the South. I asked myself, what could a man…
