Monologue Of Regulus Black Poem

1224 Words5 Pages

Your name is Regulus Black and you will never burn as bright You will scream and claw and push until the life is ripped from your lungs and replaced with water. You will know that this is the end, (you 've always known haven 't you?) but you will still fight, because even on the brink of death, why admit defeat? You are a black after all. But that hasn 't happened yet. No, that is then and this is now. When you are young, naïve, and the claws of war, and death, and reality, have not yet sunk into you. This is now. When the tragedy 's you have to face with bright eyes are whether or not your brother wants to play with you. Your brother is 11 and he is more red and gold then green and silver. Your brother is 11 and your mother screams because she will not have this, she is a black, and your father retires to his study and hides behind the post at breakfast. Your brother is 11 and you uncles and your aunts and your cousins don 't look at him the same way. Your brother is 11 and he doesn 't understand but somehow he knows it 's where he 's meant to be, with the brave. But this isn 't about him, is it? This is about you. This is not about your brother-he abandoned you remember? He left you. He doesn 't care about you! None of them do! But lets not get ahead of our selves we still have more to tell. What about you? You …show more content…

It 's your fourth year now and you haven 't talked to your brother in exactly 4 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days (not that you were counting). You favourite class, perhaps stereotypically, is potions. It gives you a challenge you haven 't faced before. You surround yourself with schoolwork and Quidditch and routine socialising. It helps you to forget the crushing weight that 's suddenly pushing down on you. It 's been there since your brother left. Your mother screamed and stomped and you were reminded all over again of when he was sorted into Gryffindor. The only difference is your brother isn 't coming back and now he 's just an ugly black

Little Rock Central High: 50 Years Later Analysis

1023 Words | 5 Pages

The teacher asks whether or not black students still care about racial justice and the boy responds by saying, “In the fifties we still had something to prove so we had a reason to fight”. The teacher asks, “you don’t think black students are competing now?”. His response: “No.” Maybe the filmmakers took this exchange out of context or maybe the student was trying to say something else, but it saddened me to think that there might be children who already feel a sense of defeat. The recent media campaigns surrounding police violence against black individuals, something that has been going on for decades just without media coverage, is showing the public that there is far more that needs to be done in order to make America equal for all races.

Martin L King Letter From Birmingham Jail

How can a parent tell his/her child he/she cannot go to an amusement park or how white people hate them because of their color of their skin. In addition, he writes about how embarrassing it is to see signs that say “white” and “colored” and how black people are told “boy” “nigger” instead of their name or Mr/Mrs.. He argues that they don't understand because they do not have to face this type of discrimination and cruelty. His argument is, essentially, tapering in into their inner sensitivity.

The Poet's Occasional Alternative By Grace Paley Summary

1533 Words | 7 Pages

"The Poet’s Occasional Alternative" by Grace Paley and ‘In My Craft or Sullen Art’ by Dylan Thomas are poems which portrays writing as an arduous and under-appreciated form of art. In "The Poet’s Occasional Alternative", the speaker’s disillusionment with the poor reception of his poetry is exacerbated by the contrasting attention his pie receives, while the speaker in ‘In My Craft or Sullen Art’ reveals his motivations for persevering in his writing despite the lack of attention it receives. Both poems illustrate how the act of writing receives little attention from the masses and is thus an unappreciated form of art. In "The Poet’s Occasional Alternative”, the speaker likens the process of writing poetry to that of making a pie with starkly different results. The pie is described to “already” have a “tumbling audience”, and these expressions show how the pie is able to garner a substantial and excited following with ease, even from “small trucks” which are inanimate objects, presumably toys.

Interior Monologue In James Joyce's Ulysses

944 Words | 4 Pages

James Joyce’s Ulysses is widely recognised and celebrated as being one of the most influential works of literature, and was previously described as “a demonstration and summation of the entire [modernist] movement” by Beebe in 1971. Throughout the over 700 page “epic”, Joyce follows a day in the life of numerous Dubliners such as Stephen Dedalus (whom we may have first encountered in Joyce’s earlier novel; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man), and advertising campaigner Leopold Bloom, along with many others. Due to the vast array of characters and their associated perspectives, we are subjected to Joyce’s infamous use of “interior monologue”, resulting in what undoubtedly becomes somewhat of a chaotic (and notoriously difficult to read)
