To Kill A Mockingbird: Part 1 Chapter 1 1 a) Pride in Ancestry and “tradition” - "Being Southerners, it was a source of shame to some members of the family that we had no recorded record ancestors on either side of the Battle of Hastings. All we had was Simon Finch, a fur trading apothecary from Cornwall whose piety was exceeded only by his stinginess." Page:3 1 b) Pride in conformity and distrust of those who are different - “A Negro would not pass the Radley Place at night, he would cut across to the sidewalk opposite and whistle as he walked.” Page:9 1 c) Awareness of difference in social classes - “If the judge released Arthur, Mr. Radley would see to it that Arthur gave no further trouble. Knowing that Mr. Radley’s word
He says that in reality, an equal feeling of disloyalty, and that unfortunately accompanies every feeling of loyalty; one cannot exist without the other. Although many people may believe that they harbor no hatred towards other races, as soon as someone bumps into them in the street or cuts them off at an intersection, they automatically notice his or her race. He goes on to relate the controversy caused by a group of firefighters when one of them mimicked the dragging death of James Byrd, a black man dragged by a pickup truck for three miles down a road in Texas, during a Labor Day parade. These heroes may not have intended to display any form of racism, however, their actions may fall under the hate category if hate is considered to be an unconscious activity as well.

Other than the obvious mention about Memphis, this songs lyrical material is Southern rock/ blues because the southern dialect used to tell the story conveys a Southern vibe. Burnside sings about how “Po black Mattie ain’t got no change of clothes” because her “fool got drunk and throw her trunk outdoors.” He then
Lisa Reddick HIST 1302-2401 12/30/11 Lesson 10, Enrichment Idea 2 In 1866 on a warm May evening in Pulaski, TN, six long-time friends passed the time drinking whisky and telling stories in the law office of John Lester. Finally the talk turned toward the perceived “ills” of their southern society and what they, as good southern gentlemen, should do about these problems. Lester suggested they should form a club or society, and then two of the men volunteered a name. “Kuldos”, the Greek word for “circle” or “band” was the name suggested. This wasn’t considered “ominous” enough so a variation was invented – Ku Klux Klan (Bartoletti).
Now after talking to a neighbor woman, Pelayo and Elisenda thought the old man must be an angel who had tried to come and take their sick child to heaven, but really it was trying to heal the little girl. They found out his powers and Pelayo and Elisenda wanted to keep the old man in their chicken coop, and he soon begins to attract crowds of curious visitors. The crowd eventually grows so large and disorderly with the sick and curious that Elisenda begins to charge admission. For the most part, the old man ignores the people, even when they pluck his feathers and throw stones at him
Black people lacked a voice in the early 19'00s and they needed a way to express themselves. They would put their heart and soul into what they were experiencing in music. Jazz not only being entertaining but also expressive. I can recall a quote from the movie that said if every piece of African American history was to be wiped out, jazz music alone would suffice to define us as a people and make us credible for helping to add to U.S history. Such strong words when it comes to
Nick Spitzer, in an article titled “Love and Death at Second-Line,” writes about violence at the jazz funeral second line of Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, a famous New Orleans musician. He gives a first person perspective of a jazz funeral where a man is shot over a controversy due to a turf war over beer sales. (Spitzer) This is not the only reported event of violence in the second lines. To prevent incidents like this from occurring though, the new process of organizing a second line would extinguish any thoughts of bringing aggression into a
He said that were all victims of American social order. This social order is called colonialism. However, Malcolm X, on the other hand, could identify with many northern black people due to his background and past criminal history and his religious trip. After a trip to Mecca, the holiest of all Muslim cities, in 1964, Malcolm’s goals began to change. He no longer saw whites as “devils.” When he was in Mecca the people with blue eyes and white skin didn’t label (Labeling Theory) or put him with a particular group of status but was able to sit, worship, pray, walk with and eat with while visiting.
In each novel, main characters face alienation from society by different causes. The views of the people were different in each novel because in Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie was not entirely treated with respect since she was a female and during those times males were the ones who dominated. She loathed for a relationship that involved the couple being equal among each other, but the views of that time period prevented her from fully accomplishing her dream. Ultima on the other hand was separated because the majority of the people in the town were catholic and they didn’t entirely accept the healing and curing of people with herbs since they believed in the power of God’s healing. Many people were also accusing Ultima of being a witch since she didn’t use the power of the lord to cure people and instead used “magic” to do her bidding In Bless Me, Ultima, Ultima was pushed away from the people in the town because many believed she was a witch.
Moderation- If I refrain from overindulgence and gluttony, and walk a righteous path, then I will be spared from this evil. Trade and business in the aftermath of The Great Mortality was most certainly grim, but it did provide opportunity in a ghoulish way. In 1348, Agnolo Di Tura, the chronicler for the town of Siena documented. ?The leaders of the city have elected three citizens that have been given 1,000 florins for the expense of taking care of the homeless and for burying them?. This was common practice throughout Europe in the wake of The Black Death, as many people died alone and
