Evening

Octavia Butler’s short story, “The Evening and the Morning and the Night” has a fairly long title for being a short story. This story, like most of Butler’s works is one that brings a fictional scenario to life in a grim and dark manner. Octavia Butler is not one to use euphemisms or sensor her work. Her audience is that of an adult who is mature enough to handle the content of her stories. Because of this I thought it would be a good idea to adapt “The Evening and the Morning and the Night”…

An Evening Chat Scene: My roommate and I are sitting doing homework on opposite ends of the same dorm room. We do not speak. We do not need to. Somehow she and I always vibrate on the same wavelength. When we need to talk we do. Otherwise, we understand the value of silence, especially when it comes time to study. The clock strikes 9:30 PM. A knock at the door. My roommate goes to answer it and it is my good friend. She smiles at my roommate but brushes past quickly, on a mission to fill me…

Life and death are two of the most thought about concepts throughout the human race. These are also the ideas that Robert Warren uses his poem Evening Hawk to address. While the poem appears to be about a hawk flying through the sky with little regard to anything else, including time, a thrush that is still, and a flying bat that is wise beyond what humans can believe, Warren actually uses the poem to deliver a message challenging the concept of time that humans have created. It is through…

You gotta give Melania Trump credit for being glam no matter the occasion. First Lady Trump decked the halls and trimmed the White House tree wearing a designer label coat indoors. Melania ushered in the Christmas season and shared several pictures of her looking jolly and ready to spread holiday joy. As the holiday lyrics go, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas." However, as one person quipped, Melania Trump must have thought it was snowing inside the White House when she wore her coat inside…

The collections of works shown in the Evening of Dance performance were very engaging. The three Booker T. Washington ensembles: World Repertory Ensemble, Repertory Dance Company 1, and Repertory Dance Company 2 were all able to convey the ideal emotions and create a visceral reaction. World Repertory Ensemble’s piece “Sofa” a traditional African performance choreographed by Moussa Diabate started the concert, the end of the first act was Repertory Dance Company 2’s “9/Tenths of the Law” a very…

been in place for thousands of years. It seems to be human nature to treat others that are different with disdain and a lack of empathy. Within Octavia Butler’s “The Evening, the Morning, and the Night” and “Amnesty,” this class delineation is present throughout by the ideas of social exclusion, prejudice, and marginalization. “The Evening, the Morning, and the Night”…

In the fourth phase, all the separation end. No such a thing as servicing the others. You really become the others, you become one, that naturally happens. If we can become aware of where we are which phase of evolution that we are in: one, two, three. Even just becoming aware of where you are would help you to move forward. Take a look how big is your self? Does it include your family? Your community? Your neighborhood? What phase are you in right now? Understand and appreciate whatever it…

Christianity has always been looked at as the savior of the African American people. Although the bible was used as a weapon to oppress African Americans, during slavery, it was also viewed as a beacon of hope during times of immense struggle. African Americans were able to evaluate the bible and reconfigure it to their specific needs. The following works will explain the transformation of the connection between black identity and religion through the chronological works of African American…
