Harsh Realities African Americans

Coming Up of Age in Harlem Manchild in the
Promised Land by Claude Brown is one of the most
realistic books written about life in Harlem.

ways, there are a lot of details that allow us to
suggest that actually the book is about life of
Claude Brown himself. The main idea conveyed
throughout the book is that life in Harlem was so
violent and harsh in its nature, that it was not
possible at all to be a...

Female Gangs Gang Members
955 words
Gangs in one form or another have been around for
hundreds of years. Pirates were probably some of
the original bad gangs. The groups that
traditionally come to mind when one thinks of
modern day gangs are the Crips and the Bloods from
California. The origins of the Crips and Bloods
can be traced to the late 60 s, and the gang
culture is so ingrained on the west coast that
many families have three and even four generations
of gangsters residing in the same residence.

futuristic world is displayed as a world turned
upside down and in shambles. This 1962 classic is

By Miss Massey Miss Massey By Peter G. Hansen The
text as I see it has two themes: Homosexuality and
society today (in the nineties). The relationship
between Jaz and Tony as depicted in the story
clearly shows that a homosexual relationship in
many ways resembles a heterosexual relationship.

would any other couple everything is normal. Yet

century, Realism was the main style expressed in
all of the stories written in that period. A
change took place, from romance to reality.
Authors were motivated by the change going on
around them. Such items as science, language, art,
and religion were understood to be the building
stones for the realistic style of the late
nineteenth century. Realism was portrayed through
regionalism, naturalism, and most importantly
through the reality of the story....

Mandatory Sentencing Commit Crimes
1,164 words
The population increase in jails is a problem with
no easy answer. Many feel the increase is the
result of mandatory sentencing for drug related
crimes. I also believe this is true but I don t
think letting criminals back into the society is
the solution. More money needs to be put into the
prison systems, along with more mandatory
sentencing into the legal systems. With automatic
punishments individuals will be more reluctant to
commit crimes especially ones considered to be
drug-related acts. ...
