Movies have always had a way of bringing to life the written word. When a modern movie tries to portray the thoughts of long age, sometimes the perceptions of the modern world infiltrate the storyline. These perceptions can be seen when analyzing the movie versus the book of Solomon Northup’s 12 Years A Slave. Director Steve McQueen and screenwriter John Ridley were able to infuse the essence of Northup’s book, while also adding the views from now with regard to slavery. An initial contrast…

Our Congress consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. Every state has two Senators and as many House of Representatives as there are for the amount of people in them.

By focusing on the intense gazes of the enslaved Africans rather than keeping the camera focused on the violence against Kuta, Sankofa’s…

The ride from Fallborn to Talon’s Hollow is a long one. Today it is made worse by the waves of pain crashing over me. What they did to me in that place was terrible, but a fine excuse for all the people that now lay dead. After I broke free I had to kill nine of them before anyone would talk. I should have asked them why, but I just want to forget the pain. They erased my memories so I knew they could erase the last year of my life. One of them finally told me that they had a facility in…

To Build A Fire: Theme Analysis When it comes to nature, a lack of common sense, or failure to take sound advice, can lead to life or death consequences.

Historical Slave Narrative As I got older I bought a slave to assist me in my needs. My slave had said that I had been the best owner he has ever had. He lived inside my house and I treated him with respect and dignity. My slave was educated enough that he could have a full on conversation with me. One of the first stories he shared was the condition he was in when he was brought to the Colonies. He said as he was taken on board he was stripped naked and examined from head to toe by the…
