The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a work of abolitionist writing created by himself with his own experiences. Douglass’s triumph of his humanity makes The Narrative one of the most compelling abolitionist works because it recounts his first hand experience with slavery. Most writings of that time were by someone opposed to slavery, but this was a real slave writing true stories and that’s what made it interesting. Through his autobiography he was able to put forth an argument against the evils of slavery. His argument is expressed in the story of his life’s journey – a journey that is intellectual, spiritual, physical and political.
The owl-eyed man then comments that, “This fella’s a regular Belasco…What thoroughness! What realism!” This shows his pride in Gatsby, returning to the more positive connotation of pride. The man sees Gatsby as a master, and looks up to him, showing pride in another person: genuine
Obama goes on to say that his former pastor is a good man, that he just has lived and grew up in a time where segregation and the Jim Crow Laws were very much legal in the U.S. The anger and hostility of not being able to achieve something of oneself is felt not only in the African American community, but also in portions of the white community. Obama’s solution to ending this anger of diversity and discrimination is to work together and to move past some of the terrible things that have happened, and take our lives into our own hands and take responsibility for our own lives. We need to come together as a nation and improve our health care, jobs, and schools. After reading this speech I must say that President Obama definitely has some great points that made me really think about our society and how the older generations have really affected peoples lives today.

Tatjana Wimmer Professor Stanley English 2308 November 4th 2013 Language for Freedom Frederick Douglass once said in an address “[o]nce you learn to read, you will be forever free” and his most notable piece “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave” is a vital example of the power of language. Douglass processes his controversial story of slavery and illustrates his path to freedom through a new breadth of knowledge. Douglass uses rhetorical forms to illustrate his journey as a slave but also ultimately discovers the need to use language as a means to fight his enslavement that prevents a realization of expression and identity. Douglass as the passive observer is best portrayed in the first six chapters of the narrative. This is best highlighted rhetorically by Douglass’s inability to articulate any details about his state and identity.
Even though Biography of a Runaway Slave was written much time later, way after the abolishment of slavery it’s intention was to give people a powerful descriptive story of what it was like to live in times that Esteban lived in our current times and it does a great job in telling a story of a runaway slave. Miguel’s style of writing shows true feelings of what Esteban felt about different types of slaves and what they meant to him. “Truth is that the blacks were honest.” (pg. 26) Many of the testimonials coming from Esteban are raw and he does not hold back. Every word is the truth and it gives a more sense of realness to the narrative.
Finally, Charlie stated in the end that he was very glad he was able to see things from a smart person’s perspective for once and he was happy that he saw things he never even knew existed. Overall, I believe this operation was good for Charlie. First of all, Charlie stated near the start of his regression that he felt glad that he was able to find out so much for science, even if he had to disprove Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss’ theories. He specifically said that he’s glad to be the “first dumb person ever to find out something important for science”. Charlie also worked so much that he ended up moving a cot into his lab to research, proving his avid enthusiasm.
First of all in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain describes the theme of friendship, the developing friendship between a white boy (Huck) and a black slave (Jim) is the main driving force of this novel. According to Huck, “Well, we got to save him, hain’t we? Of course. Well then, we won’t blow on them.” (pg 183) This quote is important because it is essential information that Huck wants to save Jim from the king and duke. This example shows to us how Huck feels about Jim.

It has enabled great men to keep contributing towards the welfare of society, longer than was ever possible in the past. At first, the Somras was restricted to the Brahmins, who were expected to use the longer, healthier life – almost a second life – for the benefit of society at large.’ Shiva nodded. He had heard this story from Daksha many years ago. ‘Later Lord Ram decreed that the benefits of the Somras should be available to all. Why should Brahmins have special privileges?
