Racism In Wright's Black Boy
.... to beat the black
child. Wright did not think that whites had the right to beat blacks
because of their race. Instead he assumed that the white man was the black
boy's father. When Wright learned that this was not true, and that the boy
was beaten because of his race, he was un able to rationalize it. Even as
he got older he didn't see the color of people. In one instance Richard and
a friend are standing outside a shop when some white people pass by,
Richard doesn't move to accomodate the white p .....

Wright's "Black Boy": An Oppressionist Impression
.... and live.”
Wright fills the chapter with a calm and mesmorizing tone; like
that of a preecher drawing his audience into a hymm. Omisdt violence, under
anger and fear, Wright converses with the reader as though he were a youth
leader telling a story to a group of boyscouts outside by a campfire. His
spellbounding words chant the reader into his world and produce a map
through which the reader follows his life in the shadows of others. “ I
mingled with the boys, hoping to pass unnoticed , but knowing tha .....

that he will inevitably be executed. One who is reading this may reply by
thinking More's decision was asinine. The reader may believe that life is
the greatest value to man, and to place anything above it would be asinine.
More's behavior was bizarre even to his own time period. His daughter,
Margaret, pleaded for him to sign the oath, "Then say the words of the
oath and in your heart think otherwise"(81). Her father could not morally
be satisfied by this. More believed that when a .....

Around The World In Eighty Days: Summary
.... to pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel
the reader is informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout
had to support.
My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg
around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through
incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest
Fogg but erroneously.
The main conflict of the novel was time. Time caused a lot of
pressure on Fogg; he had to get back to London on tim .....

Personal Reaction : I found this book a little hard to read because of the
long complicated sentences and the complex words Michael Stackpole c .....

Machiavelli's "The Prince": By Any Means Necessary

for the pride of the author, the reader drops barriers that he may have
against arguments driven by ego and opens his mind to Machiavelli on a
personal, sincere level. By placing himself at the feet of the reader,
Machiavelli puts himself and his argument in a position of power. He wastes
no time in using this power to gain more control over the reader. In the
next sentence he states that his intention is to create an outline for

Summary Of The Canterbury Tales
.... genius of Chaucer's work, however, lies in the dramatic
interaction between the tales and the framing story. After the Knight's
courtly and philosophical romance about noble love, the Miller interrupts
with a deliciously bawdy story of seduction aimed at the Reeve (an
officer or steward of a manor); the Reeve takes revenge with a tale about
the seduction of a miller's wife and daughter. Thus, the tales develop the
personalities, quarrels, and diverse opinions of their tellers.
After the Knigh .....

giant rats living with them and how it had no fear of them .
Richard Wright did not just not just want to show the con sides to
Capitalism, he also wanted to prove the Capitalism has its good sides to it
also . For instance, Richard Wright purposely placed the Daltons in a

The Awakening: Casting Shadows
.... children. There were no other
options within the restrictive boundaries of marriage, and divorce was
never an alternative. Women's lives were austere and self enrichment or
self gratification were often times cast aside relative to the more mundane
tasks of daily life. Most women accepted this but Edna did not. She
figured that life was more than constantly doing for someone else. She
wanted time for herself in order to figure out who she was. Some may see
this as selfish but everyone is entitled to .....

craziness of what everyone is living for: wealth, false happiness,
society's approval, etc. He is one of the few who tries to fight the power
and elitism that have become so sought after in America. Throughout the
novel, he tries to find a way to live a fuller life as a real human
individual. He looks to many of the other characters in the book for help

Holden is made happy by the little boy's singing unless one has an idea of
what the song means to Holden. The little boy is described by Holden in
gentle caring terms: "The kid was swell. He was walking in the street,
instead of on the sidewalk, but right next to the curb. He was making out
like he was walking a very straight line, the way kids do, and the whole
time he kept singing and humming." (Page 115). .....
