From the way the story was written it talked about black women’s hairstyle, clothes they wore, lack of education, and the certain usage of words. The way Phoenix’s words were delivered in the story seemed as if it was a put down. The tale made Phoenix to be knowledgeable by her everyday doing in life, but in reality she was displayed to be ignorant. The story of Phoenix Jackson is an expedition, a dealing of race and imagery. This story portrays stereotypes, racism, and struggles, which relate to the previous books Malcolm X and Birth of a nation.
Nhi Tran Professor Nicholas Cox History 1301 25 November 2014 Persuasive Strategies from Harriet Jacobs Anti-slavery or abolitionism is a movement to end slavery in the nineteenth century. Many abolitionists and writers such as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Lydia Maria Child use literature to fight for slaves’ freedom and human equality. Another standout abolitionist is Harriet Jacobs, an African- American writer who escapes from slavery and becomes abolitionist speaker. She contributes to anti-slavery movement in American history with her Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, one of the first autobiographical slave narratives. Under the pseudonym Linda Brent, Jacobs uses her pen to describe her struggle for freedom,
The long-term unstable society and the cold war made them have the sense of lost. They began to suspect the democracy of their country. Facing this kind of frustration, their choices were not decadence, depression, but resistance. They disbelieved their government, hated the Vietnam War, but they were still patriotic. Although the Counterculture Movement had many negative factors, such as decadent, crackers, vulgar and mysterious, which caused a bad effect on the youth, behind the decadent lifestyle, they had the motivated and raging dreams.

Kathy J. Smith American History Prof. Miller 8 August 2011 The Ongoing Struggle Prior to reading Harvard Sitkoff’s “Struggle for Black Equality”, I felt like I had a pretty good understanding of the civil rights movement. If asked, I could recount the various events and some of the key individuals that played a significant role in the struggle. After reading Sitkoff’s book and coming away with a mixed bag of feelings ranging from astonishment to shock to shame I can now say that I understand the more personal side of this epic ongoing struggle. By his own admission Sitkoff states that he set out to write “...a narrative, an interpretation of the civil rights movement…neither a comprehensive nor a scholarly account of the struggle.”(Sitkoff,

(chapter 3, page 39) This infuriates him as he shows feelings for Lenina and does not like other males talking about her in the way they were. However he has to accept what they say as his rage is impotent. He is one and “they” are many which will lead to him always being outnumbered in society. This makes him even more enraged, leading to him having violent fantasies of how he'd like to “go up to them and hit them in the face – hard, again and again” (chapter 3, page 39). This makes him look pretty hostile and antisocial as he does not want to associate with people who follow the same ideologies in the society.
I wasn’t all so happy about not being able to retaliate, but I knew bob would take his anger out Mayella if I did. I didn’t care about what the surrounding people were saying or the name calling. I knew Bob takes his anger out by beating her so I didn’t care I was saving her. BLOG
