White

artist known as Margaret Bourke-White who was an American born in 1904 and died in 1971. This picture depicts “single-family” residential homes in one of Indiana’s largest cities, Muncie. This neighborhood had thrived due to the homegrown business intelligence. Sociologists Helen and Robert Lynd both classified the town as a true representation of “Middletown” United States around the 1920s. LIFE magazine sent White to go cover the story of the Muncie residency. White gathered information that…

Erik Larson’s “The Devil in the White City…,” focuses on the life of Herman Mudgett who went by the alias H. H. Holmes. Holmes enters the plot fresh off the train “…dressed well, conjuring an impression of wealth and achievement.” The city of Chicago, at the time, was perceived to be the land for those eager and hungry for wealth. To Holmes, Chicago not only presented the opportunity to make money, but it also presented the opportunity to commit murder. Chicago was such an advantageous place…

Musnuff Once Upon A Time The character I chose is Snow White, in Once Upon A Time, Snow White is much like she is in other versions except some things she does and says are different than the other versions we have read so far.

and recognizable was Shakespeare Macbeth and Snow white by the Grimm brother. The main villainess in the play Macbeth is Lady Macbeth, who is Macbeth’s wife. She is portrayed as a cunning, ruthless and power Hungary wife who just wants to be queen and devises a heinous plan with her husband to gain the royal crown after learning about a prophecy that her husband will be king one day. This is comparable to The Evil Queen in the fairy tale Snow White who is a vindictive stepmother who is obsessed…

In Larson’s book The Devil in the White City, Larson portrays Jackson Park, the location of the Chicago World’s Fair, in different ways, based on the characters’ knowledge of the park. He uses three characters’ quotes and thoughts to give the reader an image of the park: Olmsted, Burnham, and the east coast architects. The image he gives the reader is never perfect, but the first impression he gives the reader is acceptable. At first, Larson describes Jackson Park as a place that may not have…

the villainesses holding curse are all explored by different composers in order to inform audiences of the good and bad of society’s values. The Brother Grimm's classic novella Snow White (SWGB), was written in 1800s Germany, the fairy tale focusing heavily on being virtuous and pure. Matt Phelan's graphic Snow White (SWMP) (2016) is set in a 1920s, New Yorker context, to correspond with today's environment, highlighting the materialistic views and the start of the push for equality. Tangled, a…

and justice for all, we would be remiss to not include, honor and celebrate white figures that committed themselves to the movement. Without the active engagement and self-sacrifice of White people in the antiracist struggle on behalf of the people of color, this social revolution would never have triumphed. Not all whites participated in the enslavement and oppression of the people of color in America. In fact, many white activists from all walks of life fought and risked their lives to…

South, written by Deborah Gray White is a project to reveal the experiences and tribulations of slaves in the antebellum South. White felt as if the lives of female slaves were inadequately represented. White states that “For black women, race and sex cannot be separated. We cannot consider who black women are as black people without considering their sex, nor can we consider who they are as women without considering their race.” (White, 6). The womanhood of black and white women was…

Black and White. The oldest battle in history. One represents evil white the other represent good. In The Dictionary of Symbols, black represent “chaos,” “dissimilation,” “passivity” while white represents “activity,” “ascension,” “purity” (Cirlot,43 44 45 52 54 56). The symbols make the idea of having two options: good, evil; black, white. The concept has been seen throughout literature: Heart of Darkness, Native Guard, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Devil in Tom Walker. These pieces of…

White Privilege is an underlying “right” or “immunity granted” given to white people instead of color people. In the article “White Privilege Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy Mcintosh, her definition of white privilege is an invisible package of unearned assets (Mcintosh:49). Mcintosh explains how white people are carefully taught to not recognize white privilege (Mcintosh: 49). A good example of this is not being discriminated by the color of your skin, by your name, religion, and so…
