To me Black History means that that’s our timeto go out into the world and show that we are all equal‚ that we have the same rights‚ and that we can achieve at the save level‚ even higher then they. Black History is also a time when we get to enjoy the freedom we didn’t always have. To those who say that Black History month is not needed or important to have‚ that’re wrong. Why? becasue every month in school or anywhere and life we are learning about the history of the world before and rarely

Gloria Naylor clearly states her stance on the issue in "The Meanings of a Word" when she writes‚ "The people in my grandmother’s living room took a word that whites

A Move to a Better Life I always ask the question to myself‚ what would come of me if I would have stayed and lived in my “hometown”‚ the city of Long Beach for the entirety of my juvenile life. The populated city is north of San Diego and about twenty miles south of the city of Los Angeles. Common in most towns or cities anywhere in the world‚ there is what’s known as a friendly side of town and a bad‚ sketchy‚ or ghetto side of town. In Long Beach it is no different with it having a well-known

In the song “1000 miles” By Vanessa Carlton‚ she describes the pain she is feeling because she misses her friend. The pain is too much to bear‚ the only way to describe the pain she is feeling is by writing.

Well‚ we may not have bridged the seas‚ but millions now ride secure the cruel sky. And how astonished Flecker would have been to know that‚ a mere half-century after his death‚ men were preparing

“Imagery‚ Tone and Word Choice” An author can establish the mood of the story by either using figurative language or through using word of choice.

It can also mean different words but that have the same meaning. Word of choice is when you choose to use words that are descriptive and specific that tell your readers what you are

“Nigger” A Word That Should be put to Rest From the days of slavery until present time today the use of the word nigger has changed it’s meaning from being derogatory to a friendly gesture to a friend‚ and personally I want it abolished from the English language. Back in the days of slavery they used the word nigger to categorize black people in an offensive way‚ but now-a-days more and more people‚ mostly African-Americans‚ use the word in a friendly way talking towards their family and friends
