The element “Water” plays a prevalent role in all African American Literature, whether that role be in the form of tears or a huge body of water that slaves had to go across. Although water is often viewed as the chance for opportunity and a chance for better life, in some instances it is the exact opposite.

I’ve always had a fear of the unknown, especially when I was younger. I don’t own a cork board with red string connecting twenty pinned pictures that must point to the existence of aliens in Area 51 or anything, but if I could’ve afforded it when I was younger, then I might’ve had one.

I like to think myself to be a reasonable and peaceful man.

Nonetheless, I am content with the way…

And I think that's why we have to be careful with the way we handle people because what we're doing is making an impact.” – Ernie Harwell. This quote by Ernie Harwell stresses the importance of meeting others and how we must treat all others fairly, for every one will have an impact on us.
