Nat Turner Sierra Leone
1,178 wordsIt could be considered almost ludicrous that most African-Americans were content with their station in life. Although that was how they were portrayed to the white people, it was a complete myth. Most slaves were dissatisfied with their stations in life, and longed to have the right of freedom. Their owners were acutely conscious of this fact and went to great lengths to prevent slave uprisings from occurring. An example of a drastic measure would be the prohibition of slaves receiving letters. ...

Sula And Nel Mickelson 316 Life
922 wordsThe best way to sum up Nel and Sula lies in a quote from the novel Sula. Morrison tells the reader that two very different black girls grew up in the Bottom. The first speaks of Nel, described by the narrator as one whose parents had succeeded in rubbing [her] down to a dull glow any sparkle or sputter she had (24). A townswoman describes when Sula drank beer she never belched (136). Obviously these two characters are extremely diverse. Sula felt no regret, and Nel was a nobody. Through differen...

Cuban Missile Crisis East And West Germany

Death Sentence White Man
661 wordsMy name is Jack Moloch and I'm a friend of Mr. Max. I've come in contact with Mr. Max's client, Bigger Thomas, and I saw his case. From the stories of Mr. Max I don't think that it's fair to Bigger to get the death sentence. It is obviously society's fault that he did what he did. I truly don't think that Bigger is a bad guy; he's not a nice guy either. He's just a normal black person, who lives in poverty because, among other things, the white man (Mary's father) over-charges him on the rent. A...

Band The Juveniles Joyce Chan Mark

Our man reassured himself that he was not totally in blame. Song writing is a passion for him.

Congo Regressed Workers Decided Independence
325 wordsInstead of moving into a century of growth, The Congo seemed to regress after its independence in 1960. I feel that The Congo regressed in several ways. All of these ways attributed to the stagnation of The Congo. The Economy of the Congo regressed shortly after June 30 th 1960. My sources tell me that the GNP of Congo nearly halved itself weeks after independence. This is because all of the workers were doing other things. Some workers decided to join rebel armies and raid the Belgians. Some wo...
