Legalizing gay marriage will create role models for young gay people, who experience the struggle of “coming out of the closet.” This could also heal the gay-straight rift more than anything. “So long as intelligent people understand that homosexuals are emotionally and sexually attracted to the same sex as the heterosexuals are to the other sex, then there is no human reason on earth why it should be granted to one group and not to the other,” (Sullivan, page 407) said
Nathanael was such an inspiring writer and very unique with a lot of passion. Nathanael was born in Salem, Massachusetts on July 4, 1804. He knew many famous people and went to college with poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and future president Franklin Pierce. A historical event that Mr. Hawthorne grew up to know about was that his great-grand father was a magistrate during the 1692 Salem witch trials. Nathanael came from a respected well known family.
Much of his writing focused on the problem of racism in the United States. Baldwin argues that racism is a psychological problem that white America has, and concludes that until white people can learn to love themselves the problem cannot be cured. “There is no reason for you to try to become like white people and there is no basis whatever for their impertinent assumption that they must accept you (The Fire Next Time, 19).” As an African American, Baldwin was well equipped to unmask the illusions of white supremacy. Baldwin might sound a little harsh when he is talking about white people, but he did not hate white people even though their attitudes and actions infuriated him. “Instead, he developed an unsentimental compassion for whites so trapped by their fear that they are deeply alienated from their true selves (Jon, 3)”.
Its immediate popularity is evidenced by two events--winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and being adapted into a successful movie in 1962. At least part of its appeal is its commonly recognizable themes. To Kill a Mockingbird deals with prejudice, courage, and pride in the context of a brother and sister growing up in the Deep South. Lee wrote the novel in the Southern Gothic style; a style in which disturbing or even other-worldly events occur. A final reason for the appeal of To Kill a Mockingbird is its semi-autobiographical nature (Hamburgler
I can’t speak for anyone in the audience but I can say that the speech had effects on my views because in all reality if two gay people do get married it doesn’t change a thing for most people. If you’re able to gain one audience member’s reason then, your speech has been effective even if the least bit. Because he was gay, talking about how it is unfair for banning gay marriage puts him in the middle of advantage and a disadvantage. It’s a disadvantage because we’re only getting the gay person’s perspective on gay marriage, but it’s an advantage because of the personal connections between him and his theory. Even though he faces the disadvantage, he was still thorough at getting his point across.
Also it is very one sided as most protesters weren't like that the put themselves across has been clean and passionate about what they are protesting for show that people believe them. For example the last person in the cartoon is port across as being stupid because there is no point trying to sort out the war when America and Vietnam didn't. Another thing it has a tone which means it can't be objective as it is humorous and biased. Representation 3 is comprehensive because it is from a text book, this means that it would have to be comprehensive so that it could teach people or expand people's knowledge about it. I know that it is reliable because is also gives facts and figures.
(49) While working for Keimer, Franklin also began writing for a rival printer under an alias. He couldn't get enough of the printing business, and started to become a great writer here. He read many essays and books which influenced his writing and also his character. After a couple years in Philadelphia, Franklin was making a name for himself. A letter he wrote to his brother-in-law was shown to the governor who thought it was so good he sent Franklin a letter recommending him to his father to start a business.
The LBGT movement started in the 1960’s during the start of the counterculture. Young people, or hippies, promoted peace and freedom, and had freer attitudes towards sexual relationships. Their new views on sexual conduct, which rejected many traditional restrictions on behavior, were labeled “the sexual revolution”. This revolution was not successful because of their passive protesting. They did not protest in large rallies, and were considered by many to be “silent”, which is why LGBT teenagers are still be targeted.
Homosexuals are not hurting anyone by being homosexual, so why such hostility? It is people that cannot see the good in deference that make this world an ugly place. Live and let live someone once said, but some people are hell bent on a superior way of being and
