    When perceiving a man, what comes to mind? Is it a man who is masculine, virile, and aggressive? Or is it a man who is passive, timid, and submissive? Coming across two stories about two men, I find them both similar in various ways. The first story is “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” by Richard Wright. The other story is “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston. The common denominators of both stories share a trait of male dominance. With the similarities of the two stories, a man should be strong,…

    The Seventh Man Is Guilty

    • 572 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I truly feel the Seventh man has done nothing wrong. I understand the logic of survivor guilt, however truth is, he couldn’t have saved K. Stuff happens, it wasn’t his responsibility to save K, even if it was he would have potentially put himself in harm as well. I see no reason for the Seventh man to be held responsible by himself or others for K’s death. The wave killed K, not the Seventh man’s decision. It by default has nobody to claim responsibility for. It is for these reasons and prior…
