In this paper, I intend to interpret and explain the arguments made by Jane Hill in her article titled “Language, Race, and White Public Space.” To successfully map Hill’s arguments, I will complete the following. At first, I will identify the main claims Hill makes, outlining each argument in detail. As I state the main claims of the article, I will explain definitions important to the understanding of each argument. I will then discuss the evidence Hill uses to support her claims and connect…

field with more self-loathing as they are loathed. We live in such a judgmental society where individuals have no self-acceptance. Where the majority crave to be the stander of beauty, which is white. In this society minorities are taught to believe that whiteness is the paragon of beauty, that being white will assure a better qualified life and define better values in society and the community. Characters in “The Bluest Eyes” by Toni Morrison establish their sense of self-worth based on these…

“Flash upon my inward eye”: The Role of Reflection and Tranquility in William Wordsworth’s “Daffodils” In his preface to Lyrical Ballads, William Wordsworth famously writes that “all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth, Wu 509). However, it is important to note that he modifies this statement by adding that “though this be true, Poems to which any value can be attached were never produced on any variety of subjects but by a man who, being possessed of…

Even when movies are set in places such as Japan or Hawaii, you will still find a white person as the principal cast, despite the fact that they are the minority of the area, as is the case for Aloha and The Last Samurai. This practice is known as Colorism, the discrimination against people of certain skin tones. In film this is done…

and situation is at home, violent and cruel. Pecola is constantly subjected to horrific and terrifying events, such as getting raped by her own father. She sees herself as ugly and disgusting and yearns to be beautiful, which she thinks is being white and blue eyes. It is an ugly scene and disturbing to read a girl's life get destroyed, but Morrison knows that in order to get her point across she needs these absurd and disturbing scenes. Morrison’s purpose of Pecola is to make the most weak…

give his speech to a crowd of three thousand people, which many attended were white” (McNeil). Since whites also came to Malcolm’s speech, they really wanted to know what he had to say about Black Nationalism. However he actually scared many of his white audience. He makes them fear the black society. The whites needed to know that the African Americans were not going to undergo all this unfairness. Many of the whites responded with despair in their eyes as a result of Malcolm’s use of intense…

In line one she talks of how she has "...not been able to touch the destruction within me...." (1030) The destruction may represent her own hatred for the corruptness of white politics. That corruption that she has not given in to, yet. In line two and three she talks again of using the difference she finds in poetry versus rhetoric. This difference is meaningfully doing something against these type of injustices. Line…

I have shown that due to the fact of skin color, one is more likely to be pulled over and serve a longer sentence than that of a non-Hispanic White man. I have shown there is inequality structured within the structure. I have broken it down into three separate races describing what they are most convicted for, how long they are sentenced, and how long they serve their sentence. Racial inequality does exist. This inequality stems from the time of slavery when diversity was not accepted. With…

Mississippi Burning takes place in the 60s and there was a great lack of justice back then. White people judged the black people by the color of their skin and the police department was corrupt. Another theme in the movie could also be friendship, because of the main characters’, Ward and Anderson, development of their friendship. In the beginning of the movie it is not easy for them to work as a team, mainly because they are from different places and have different opinions on how to solve the…

Memory- Mike had a stereotype of white people; the stereotype was that they were stuck up and not genuine. When the family took him in, his perception was reconstructed. Recall- By the end of the movie Mike was grateful for his new life and opportunities presented in front of him. Even after his doubts of the Touhy's intentions for him, after he recalled their past generosities, he reconstructed his memory and what was truly meaningful for him. 2. The Blindside consisted of many conflicts…
