The internal and external conflicts are very conspicuous in Richard Wright's story Black Boy. When the boy's father left, his internal problem of hunger became closely associated with his father.

The boy was not yet ready for such a responsibility; he had to grow up fast in too short a period. On the boy's first trip to the supermarket, he came across an angry…

The document that I selected to analyze is document 17-4. Document 17-4 was written by In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat, or Chief Joseph, and was written in 1879. The reason as to why the document was written, was because Chief Joseph was explaining himself to the Americans all the things that have been done to him and his tribe both in past and in present in great detail and explaining to the Americans that he and his tribe members are the victims. A historical theme that is related to this document is…

“If I had them, there was no way I could lose.” (Cass 323). This is the last sentence in the book, The Elite, and I believe that it wraps up the plot of the book perfectly. In the book The Elite, the competition gets down to the final six girls called The Elite. America now has to work harder than ever to get the Prince’s attention. America endures a drastic turn of events, and needs to get her head back in the competition. While reading this book, I found myself visualizing, evaluating, and…

The Forced relocation of Native Americans better known as the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Dawes Act and the Indian new deal of 1924. The U.S policies stated towards Native Americans affected them greatly in the 18th and 19th century but continue to impact their lives today. The Indian removal act of 1830, implemented by President Andrew Jackson was placed to force Native Americans to leave their homelands and settle in the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River, in my opinion…

further himself as a leader in the political world and to gain respect among his peers. At the age of sixteen, Houston ran away from home and lived with a Cherokee tribe led by Chief Oo-loo-te-ka that was located fifty miles southwest of Maryville, Tennessee. While living with the Cherokees, Houston gained a unique understanding and respect for the Native American culture that most other white leaders did not fully appreciate.

The Cherokee Indians had lived in northwest Georgia, but in the 1800s many whites begin to settle there. Georgia believed the state had the right to this land because it was within the borders of Georgia, but the Cherokee Indians had lived there for centuries and felt they had a right to the land. Many Cherokees adapted a more American lifestyle and some became plantation owners or store owners. The Cherokee Nation also created a constitution that was similar to the Constitution of the United…

The removal was very unjustified because we were unfair and made a lot of people die, we did.This is why the Indian removal act was unjustified and how America can be towards others. Imagine how it would feel to lose your home and have to walk about 1,000 miles to get to your new home.“The Cherokees lost approximately one-fourth of their people to disease, malnourishment, and hardship.”This is only one hardship they faced.√The removal was unjustified because the native Americans owned the land…

Throughout history, the United States of America has been involved in numerous conflicts. These conflicts have involved cultures all over the world and as a result we often see prejudice in our own country. This prejudice is often directed towards the citizens that have cultural ties to the perceived enemy. Having such a diverse culture within the U.S. is considered to be a good thing, but during times of war it can trigger harsh and negative treatment towards individuals that are looked at as…
