Milkman in a way also rebels against his father by hitting him and deciding not to join the family business with his father. “Writers have always been concerned with the freedom of the human spirit, whether through dreaming, solitude, or rebellion.” This statement is illustrated in Song of Solomon through Guitar and Milkman’s quests in the novel. Guitar at the beginning of the book is just a curious teenager who starts getting interested in the civil rights movement. He gets very enraged speaking about the racism that goes on and he exaggerates about how bad it is. Morrison allows Guitar to have freedom of his human spirit through rebellion.
Black Hawk’s Symbolic Suicide In Black Hawk’s Farewell Speech at the end of the Black Hawk War, Black Hawk uses ethos and pathos to not only finalize his surrender but also to memorialize his warriors and, more generally, the Sauk Nation. By implementing character-building and feelings into his speech towards his enemies, Black Hawk tries to prove that he was committed into trying to defend his people and that removal from their land is not what the Sauk Nation deserves. Black Hawk quickly establishes his credibility by saying, “You have taken me prisoner with all my warriors. I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered” (qtd. in Drake).
"And so Okonkwo was ruled by one passion- to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved. "(17) Nwoye is presented as being similar to his grandfather, or at least that is Okonkwo's greatest fear: "Nwoye was then twelve years old but was already causing his father great anxiety for his incipient laziness. At any rate, that was how it looked to his father." (17) Here the narrator interferes in defense of Nwoye; what it looks like to his father may not be the truth about the boy. But who is Nwoye?
So they just kept holding the thought that black people were not deserved to be treated equally. Baldwin and his father, the first and second generation of freemen, was a typical example of discrimination in this time. Throughout this essay, Baldwin has explained his strained relationship with his father because of all the anger and paranoia his father expressed during his childhood. But also at the same time, he regretted that he did not get to know him better when he was alive since the moment Baldwin realized that his father was only trying to protect him from racism. By going through all the experiences that Baldwin and his father had earned by their skin color, he himself have learnt about what position he and Negroes in general were placed in by the society in that time and how he has figured a way out.
Compare and Contrast Essay By: Maisha Moon “War” By: Luigi Pirandello “Gentlemen, Your Verdict” By: Michael Bruce “War” By: Luigi Pirandello is all about an old man trying to explain to people how just because our men are going off to war it doesn’t mean that we should grieve them, he says we should celebrate that they are doing something for their Country’s and for themselves. “Gentlemen your verdict” By: Michael Bruce is a story about a man who is faced with a difficult decision. It seems that the two short stories couldn’t be any different; however they do have some similarities. The two stories in my mind could connect to each other, and both stories have a kind of “epiphany” moment where the protagonist has to come to terms with something difficult. Although I could only come up with a few similarities the list of differences are way larger.
This is directly connected to Francois and his team, because they go up against immeasurable odds just to win the world cup, uniting the country. They train very hard, and quite literally go through hell just to win. Also, Francois is indirectly related to this poem because he was told about it by Nelson Mandela, who came from a very bad prison and when he came out, he was ready to forgive the whites. Francois’ greatest challenge in making moral decisions is the acceptance of his subordinates and parents. His parents resent Madiba in the beginning of the movie, and when Francois starts to be influenced by Mandela his parents disapprove of it.

Civil War For Cause and Comrades – McPherson In For Cause and Comrades, McPherson asks the very basic question: Why did Union and Confederate soldiers fight? McPherson’s central argument is that in the Civil War, there was a close and ongoing relationship between group cohesion and peer pressure that were powerful factors in combat motivation and of concepts of duty, honor, and patriotism that prompted soldiers to enlist in the first place. Soldiers fought for both comrades (primary group cohesion) and cause. McPherson analyzes martial motivations by examining motivation at three levels: initial, sustaining, and combat. The initial motivators deal with why men enlisted; sustaining with what kept the armies together; and combat with how men steeled themselves for battle (12).
