Physical Pain Single Word
660 wordsWith hair whipping in the wind like an unfurled flag, the child runs freely. Every ounce of humanity is focused on the brief autonomy of childhood.

Sugar Cane Slave Relationship
1,300 wordsSlavery as a global institution tends to have an unreal aura surrounding it.

This is why even through reading Eugene Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll and examining most of the aspects of slave life, slavery still remains a mystery in the personal sense. Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave, in addition to being one of Genovese's own resources, fills...

Narrative Of The Life Frederick Douglass
