they appear simultaneously, the work can be determined as gothic. “Jane Eyre” (I would just italicize instead of “ but you do you) fully exhibits these common gothic elements; however, another work that incorporates many of these elements is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Although at first glance, it appears to simply be a fairytale, upon deeper inspection, there are certain elements tied into the plotline that, I believe, classify it as a gothic tale. “Jane Eyre” is a classic example of…

feels a sense of acceptance from the white community. The outlandish, and hostile remarks demonstrate the accepted ideas of racial segregation by the white community, and this ultimately affects the narrator’s thoughts toward his own personal role in society. Afterwards, the narrator receives a thunderous applause, and he forgets all about the degrading acts he was forced to participate in during the Battle Royal. He is so overwhelmed with the reaction from the white society, he is conflicted…

Equal rights for people of different races have come a long way since the civil rights movements in 1954 but we are still a long way from truly all having equal rights. Throughout all of history people of color have been treated poorly by the white man ,whether it 's slavery and genocide or just not giving people of color the ability to speak or live for themselves. Over the past 60 years we have come a very long way but racial profiling is keeping us from continuing the progression towards…

was born in the United States, is considered a stereotypical “American”. If a person looks tan and has black hair then “Americans” assume they are immigrants and because they are not the stereotypical white person than they automatically assume they are not an “American”. The stereotypical white person is someone that is tall, blond, has money, blue eyed individual that strongly believe in the second amendment of the United States Constitution. In America, we believe in the free of speech and…

The Heart of Racial Justice Review: The purpose of chapter six in The Heart of Racial Justice is to discuss the importance of embracing our true selves. Without being our true selves we will not be able to serve Christ fully. As Christians we have been taught that our cultural heritage and ethnic identity are unimportant to our Christian faith. Two important concepts are self-acceptance and self-hatred. Self-acceptance is the recognition you were created by God while self-hatred is rejection…

There are some things that I have noticed in the book that may still happen today but I do not think that they would be nearly as severe as they were back in the 1920’s when the lynching’s in Duluth happened or even before the 1920’s. The officer who interviewed Sandra about the rape just believed everything that she said without doing much investigation into if all her facts line up together. Today I think that something similar could happen but I think police would investigate it much more…

It is not a coincidence that black men are statistically more likely to be incarcerated than white counterparts or that the number of degree-bearing black people is disproportionately small. If you are a black person in America you have been born into the most current iteration of that systemic inferiority that has existed from the onset of American society. “White privilege” is simply another term denoting, again, the most current form of that systemic racism that has always…

role as a nation on the global stage. Only one issue, however, has led to civil war in our country– the issue of slavery. When wealthy landowners began buying and importing African Americans as slaves, they created a stark division between blacks and whites. A bloody war was fought to settle the matter, yet we still face issues of race today. Discrimination and racism have divided our nation more than any other, throughout our history, and are problems we are still attempting to solve. While…

In most of the images, Chinese people where shown in very stereotypical and racist ways. For example, in the photo from Harpers Weekly article in 1871, A Chinese man was shown cowering under Lady Liberty arms and white Americans congregated in large numbers in which they look like they want to hurt the Chinese man (1871,page 147). There are also fliers behind the Chinese man, which read “Importation of Chinese Barbarians” and “ The Chinaman works cheap because he…

It is almost impossible for myself as a privileged, upper-class white male to understand the prejudice and blatant racism that many African Americans, such as Ms. Summerville, have to endure, just because of the color of their skin. It is nauseating that for how far society has progressed, large groups of people are…
