Ebony

disciplines her child she “she used the same method as her mother because it worked and help her be a better person” (Evans, 2015). I asked Ebony how does she feel about her community she say “ it’s not safe like it used to be, there are more violent now than when she was growing up, she also stated that she doesn’t allow her son to go outside to play” (Evans,2015). Ebony work and go to school so she doesn’t make it home to about 9 o’ clock at night. Her mother is usually the one that feed her…

predicated on crude and erroneous stereotypes about particular communities' propensity to commit certain malefactions. In Georgia, the FBI documented African-American population increases and fixated on activists' protests against police killings to find "Ebony separatists." It additionally mapped Latino communities throughout the Coalesced States for street gang threats, Middle-Eastern communities in Detroit for potential terrorism, and Chinese and Russian communities in San Francisco for…

She glances down the shadowy alley. Taking a deep breath, a musty scent fills her nostrils. She looks to the left and catches a glimpse of a dark green dumpster; the ebony lid is wide open with garbage protruding from within. The starry sky is congested with silver clouds as she tilts her head backwards. Raindrops douse her blonde hair and sting her blue eyes. In an instant, they are flooded and her vision is blurred. After blinking repeatedly to correct her vision, she looks back down and…

being celebrated for their entertain value isn’t very high (McGee, Ebony O.). And in the process, they have forgotten what it means to embrace self-determination(1). And to find diverse entertainment value in the black body has sadly just now begun to rise on a small scale. Many scholars and the general public,of all colors, have long acknowledged African Americans are often more revered for their entertainment value(McGee, Ebony O.). The context of historical objectification of black people…

For the family interview, I decided to meet with one of my friends to interview her about her family. We started by focusing on her whole family tree, including all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins. After we went over the entire family, I asked her questions about the members she has a significant relationship with and asked about their education, occupation, interests, health problems, and friendships. The person that I interviewed is in a serious relationship, so we went over her partner’s…

history of the steam engine began with him carving the Hero 's Engine from 250 BC. Sixty-four steam engines later his work ended with the carving of the Union Pacific Big Boy Locomotive of 1941. All of his masterpieces are made out of walnut, ivory, and ebony. Although being unable to afford ivory in the beginning, Mooney’s first fifteen train carvings were made of bone and walnut. The bone was beef bone that he saved and bleached on his roof so that the dog could not chew on them. Later in his…

When the Gothic Horror era began in the 18th century, it puzzled a lot of humans. Lad Kashmira made clear that, "During the Romantic era, many Gothic romance-based novels were published. As aforementioned, back then, the Gothic novels were marked by prominent sounds and smell, along with a strikingly horror and terrorizing environment" ("A Look at the Evolution of Popular Gothic Literature"). There are tons of gothic horror elements incorporated into stories. A gothic horror novelist, Edgar…

The ebony clock is a major symbol because it represents the protagonist’s inescapable death. The clock portrays the theme of death because of its dark color and mystery. Poe expands upon this by stating, “[there] stood against the western wall, a gigantic clock of ebony…with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang” (Poe 301). Furthermore, Poe attaches the phrase with “exceedingly musical,” to…

converted into NBAD through NBAD synthetase, the ebony gene is expressed. A high concentration of NBAD results in a tan gene mutation while an excess of dopamine can produce the ebony mutation (John R. True). Not only does tan affect the body pigmentation, but it also has a role on recycling the histamine neurotransmitter in Drosophila. In the synaptic terminal of a photoreceptor cell, histamine is released and enters the epithelial glia. From there, the ebony gene converts the histamine into…

My interpretation of this came once the story read "...the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay" (Poe). The ebony clock, to me, represents existentialism and a grim, epiphanic reminder of how dark and fleeting life was in that time of the Red Death. Survival is the idea that lives inside of the clock. In a time such as the time…
