Sable

the time of homecoming as we were electing the Senior Class Queen, possibly the worst case of cheating had unfolded right in front of my eyes. One of my close friends named Sable was elected for Class Queen of the Senior Class, an extremly important title in high school. As the time drew closer to our schools homecoming, Sable approached me and confessed how she was making a D in her algebra two class; it was her second time taking it. This meant that if she didn’t bring her grade up, the Senior…

misinterpreted what she is trying to say. Although she writes in a different way she is a very talented writer. There are a few lines that expresses color in Wheatley’s poem. The lines are, “some view our sable race with scornful eye, Their colour is a diabolic die"(Wheatley, On Being Brought, 5-6). Sable is an animal that has valuable black fur, which can relate to how the blacks were valuable in the scene of slavery. As the poem goes on she demonstrates…

Savior too.” In revelation, Wheatley “neither sought nor knew” about the “redemption” in finding Christianity (Ln.4). The use of figurative speech is done well by Wheatley with phrases such as “sable race” and “diabolic dye” (Ln. 5-6), for a self-portrayal of herself and others of her race. “Some view our sable race with a scornful eye” (Ln. 5), illustrates there are few who have such hatred and are overlooked due to the color of her skin. Instead of just inputting the word black, Wheatley…

who became Director of Save the Rhino International in 2001. She promptly signed up to run the London Marathon -- the charity is famous for running in rhino costume -- and then was so impressed that all her co-workers were running the Marathon des Sables (150 miles across the Sahara) in 2002 that she signed both of us up for the 2003 MdS. At that point, I hadn't done any running since school, so it was a bit of a shock, to say the least! Since then, running and rhinos have…

Often in short stories, symbols are present. Symbols represent meanings beyond what they literally are in the story. In the short story, The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe, the gigantic ebony clock is symbolic. The ebony clock is symbolic because it symbolizes death and that time never stops. Symbols represent something other than themselves, which is significant to the story. The ebony clock in the seventh room symbolizes death. According to the short story, it…

Racism was a big part from the American History. And we all know how horrible and tough it was, They were treating them as if they were animals. Actually, Americans thought that African's skin color was inspired by the demon so they must be treated like slaves. Of course, Africans had no other choice than accepting the reality and get the idea that it is their own destiny. Many poets wrote about it and they were complaining and showing how much they were suffering. It was obvious that they were…

The word choice emphasizes how the pigment of a black person’s skin made some think of Africans as uncivilized…
