The new age of inventions that started the industrial revolution were monstrous machines that would impact the way of living. The spinning Jenny was a major machine at the time as it was a textile machine that would weave thread in less time then it took a person to do individually, the invention practically stated the industrial revolution as it began the start of mass production. Although the spinning jenny was a brilliant piece of machinery it could be upgraded and made better, the spinning…

Emphasizing the injustice Black people face, Maya Angelou’s famous poem Still I Rise perfectly correlates with Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. Both pieces of literature empowers others to analyze the injustices and prejudices colored people had faced in the past. Angelou was an influential woman who eloquently shared her opinions, and inspired others to do the same. In her poem, Angelou’s uses similes and rhetorical questions to bitterly bite back at the white oppressors, just as Ellison paint…

“The men began reaching out to touch her. I could see their beefy fingers sink into her soft flesh.” The black men are reproached for watching the stripper, which is not permitted during this time. This left the men no option and serves as a reminder to the black community that the white has control. However, she is also viewed by the white men in the same manner the black’s men were viewed in, less than a person. The dancer has another symbolism which is the American flag tattoo upon her…

Years ago African Americans and Caucasians didn’t get along due to slavery. Ralph Ellison is telling a story that involves a young African American being invisible. The narrator seems to suggest that if you can’t be seen then you can’t be heard. He had to learn that he was nobody in the eyes of others. As his grandfather is on his deathbed, he gives him a controversial perspective which stuck with him throughout the story. The young boy is an eloquent speaker, and he is asked to give a speech in…

POINTS TO PONDER BEFORE ELECTION DAY If you are Gay, why are you voting for Hillary? She wants to bring in hundreds of thousands of refugees that believe all Gays should be executed. If you are Black, why are you voting for Hillary? She admires Margaret Sanger and defends Planned Parenthood. They want to abort as many black babies as possible. "Exterminate the Black Race because they are like weeds." Most of those clinics are in Black neighborhoods. If you are a Christian, why are you voting…

I agree with your statement. The arrangement that Mr. Rich White and Mr. Poor White was not right and shows racism they were going in order to use the blacks to get what they want, which was earning more money. I believe that Mr. Rich really wanted Mr. Poor to use him as a resource. He essentially want him to be able to get to fulfill his wants and needs in a situation. Clearly, that is why he mentioned black to him so he able him to complete his dirty work for him. Racism was the key in the…

Sherman Alexie’s story, “Evolution” portrays the issues Native Americans face after their relocation. The story tells the tale of a white man with the name of “Buffalo Bill” who opens a pawn shop. This pawn shop was located next to a liquor store. The white man used the stereotype that Native Americans are alcoholics to turn a profit. The story continues until all the Native Americans have nothing else to pawn for money. “Buffalo Bill” then converts the pawn shop into a Native American history…

There have been many cases involving police officers and minority groups. A common minority group that is often targeted by the police is the Blacks. Some police are abusing their power by racially targeting a majority of black victims. The Black community is harassed or harmed by unjustified police officers. This has continually become a topic of controversy because black people are not treated fairly and are targeted more compared to other ethnicities. Police are racially profiling people due…

Two 19th century global trends–industrialization and imperialism–were driven by the nations of Europe, but influenced every corner of the Earth. Industrialization, or the transformation of an economy from being agriculturally based to being based on manufactured goods, created a higher sense of nationalism within Europe. Nationalism was taken a step further in the late 1800’s with imperialism, or the direct controlling of other countries for political and economic benefits. By increasing…

I predict that Tom Robinson will lose the case against Bob Ewell. There are two possibilities of what could happen. Either Bob Ewell will win, or Tom Robinson will win. Some reasons that Bob Ewell will win, is that he has a racial advantage, and this could work in his advantage in many cases. One of the cases is that the jury is white, which can cause a very biased opinion towards Bob Ewell. Another reason that Bob Ewell has a racial advantage is that there are two white opinions against…
