When the Hater Meets the Hated- Why is Tom Robinson Guilty? One may be punished for something he or she never did depending on the circumstances in their community. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee shows in Maycomb County, a society being controlled by racism, Tom Robinson is punished for assaulting Mayella Ewell even though he is the victim. If the majority of the inhabitants of a community are racist, the racist social values influence everything that takes place in the courts of the community. Thus the racist social values of Maycomb County are responsible for the failure of Atticus Finch’s defense for Tom Robinson.
The apparent simplicity of blues music has been played with in a great number of ways along the years. If in the late 1800s, the poor African- Americans used a guitar, a harmonica and a powerful sad voice, things evolved with the adding of blowing instruments, drums and basses at the beginning of the 1900s. Blues music’s evolution was organic, it mend itself naturally to the fashion of the times to become the music that, when listened to, one immediately associates it with America, with all of its history, hardships and diversity of people and feelings. Blues music was born in the South, specifically in the Mississippi Delta, and migrated along with the poor African-Americans to the cultural and cosmopolitan city of New Orleans, Louisiana. These men were seeking for jobs on the docks of the city, trying to escape a very segregated environment where they were still being treated as slaves.
He looks at as his individuality and strives to let the teacher as well as the class know that he is proud of who he is. The two poems have many similarities and differences. We see that one main similarity is that both authors are in a battle of whether or not to express who they are. In “White Lies” Trethewey uses her advantage of being mixed to decide whether or not she expresses which side she wants to be seen. In “Theme for English B” Langston knows that there is no way possible for him to hide that he is black, unlike Trethewey, so he decides to be proud of whom he is.
The purpose for Frederick Douglass to write this essay is to tell the American people the disgust in slavery, which have caused both mental and physical damage in a person's mind. “The more I read, the more I was led to abhor and detest my enslavers” said Frederick Douglass. In paragraph six Douglass uses powerful but depressing diction to express his inner rage and bitterness towards the white people who stripped away his freedom, liberty, and equality away. The use of “Abhor” and “Detest” emphasized the hatred and anger Douglas have toward the white people who “stole them from their homes, and [forced them] in a strange land reduced them to slavery”. As Frederick Douglass continues to gaining the ability to read and learn the truth about the society, his hatred towards the whites grew even

Hemingway’s ``Hills life White Elephants ' is a story of desire and respect. Hemingway calls them simply "the American and the girl" (Hemingway 2011 para 44).

The UNIA would be know for their popular intellectual and political times, revised to the service of the revival of black consciousness. One of the main reasons Marcus Garvey’s UNIA was so popular was due to the fact that he didn’t see social status or rank. His speeches were usually rags-to-riches stories that were relatable to the audience. He also pushed his reader to be a self-made man.

The Marquis was know as an overpowering figure that treated his people like dogs to a whip and respected no side of them. In current day many would dislike being called this and would deem change, but to the Marquis in the book, A Tale of Two Cities, this was a proudly taken characteristic. Even though the Marquis was hated so deeply, he continued his method until his murderous death. The Marquis looked up to his pain forsaken name with pride, obviously expressed in this quote, "Repression is the only lasting philosophy. The dark deference of fear and slavery, my friend," observed the Marquis, "will keep the dogs obedient to the whip, as long as this roof," looking up to it, "shuts out the sky."

He falls out of his passionate love just as fast as he had fallen into it, “as if struck by a pistol shot” (63), because the race he believes his wife and now baby belong to is beneath him. He sees the slaves as unequal, believes he is superior and he can do whatever he pleases because they belong to him.

49). He really believed that all animals are equal and acted and worked for the comfort of his 'comrades', he was a hero. Napoleon on the other hand was a quite a contrary image, he was selfish cruel and corrupt. He would think of his and the pigs interest first and then that of the other animals and the farm.
