“They had dreamed of freedom; of a chance to look about them and learn something; to be decent and clean, to see their child grow up to be strong. And now it was all gone” (Sinclair 1906, 138). This is the bleak picture painted in Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle. A disturbing critique of turn-of-the-century industrialism with pervading themes of poverty, anti-corporation, and socialism. A commentary that exemplifies the Progressive era and the embodiments of freedom that came with it.…

It is interesting concept that the four Gospels delineate the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, with little attention giving to his life and development as a leader. Matthew and Luke’s Gospels trace Jesus’ genealogy. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is introduced as a grown man whereas John focus on His Divinity. Granted, we scrutinize, dissect, exegete and preach his teachings and ministry, but we never consider the sociopolitical dynamics of his early life’s that shaped and formed his ministry.…

Frederick Douglass was born a slave in 1818 and he escaped slavery in 1836. In his narrative, “Learning to Read and Write”, Douglass describes the various steps and struggles he encountered as he learned to read and write.

Adolf Hitler AKA Trump Hitler is described as an idealist, Dictative, Radical, and persuasive person. Hitler was a very hopeful leader at the time. He was a great orator, but his ideals of what was right and what he thought was Germany's destiny were obviously misconstrued. He was very vengeful at the Jews (mother's death), and he was very Idealistic in the fact that he wanted to create a "Pure" Race, a "breed" of man that would be the ultimate in everything, he definitely brought Germany up…

I learned a decent amount about narratives, autobiographies, and captivity genres. I had never read a narrative or a captivity before this class. I had always assumed that narratives and autobiographies were the same thing, and I had never heard of a captivity genre. Although narratives are alike to autobiographies, the difference between them is that an autobiography is written about the writer’s entire life, a narrative is in chronological order of a specific event. An autobiography is usually…
