In the book “The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963” there are two brothers, Kenny and Byron. Kenny is the younger brother in this book. Byron and Kenny go through many different changes throughout the book. However Byron has made a more miraculous change. Byron starts out as a really mean bully,and a bad influence, to a role model for Kenny.
She talks about how her mother raised her and her three brothers after their father left them when she was very young and when the children were young, their mother would go to work, and their drunk, abusive uncle would care for them. The Self and Identity concept also related to In Search of Sangum because she is struggling to find herself and figure out who she was. Overall these two stories definitely had their difference and similarities and tie into one
The text pieces Making Sarah Cry and I Escaped a Violent Gang both share the theme of Overcoming obstacles. Although the two may seem different, there are several things that connect them to that theme. The characters overcome hardships that hurt them. The narrator and Sarah in Making Sarah Cry face the hardships of being bullied for things they can’t help. But they found new strength, and soon others became like them.
The Emmet till case and the To Kill a Mockingbird case both have a lot of difference but they also have a like in common. Both cases represent a lot of things that happened in those time periods. Each story signifies equality and justice, but differ in how they started. The despicable hatred of black people in the south was the main plot of each topic. Each black person I sure went though hard times.
The poem “Making Sarah Cry” and the play “The Watsons go to Birmingham” have the similar theme of being different. In “Making Sarah Cry” Sarah is different from the other kids on the playground. In “The Watsons go to Birmingham” the Watson family has a different skin color so they are separated from whites to do everyday tasks. The texts, both share a similar theme, but have different qualities. For example, in “Making Sarah Cry” only two people are excluded from playing with kids because of their differences.
Have you ever heard of the saying the grass isn’t always greener on the other side? In the book ,The Watsons go to Birmingham, this is one of the many themes. The Watsons go to Birmingham, but they realize it isn't as pleasant as they thought it would be. It turns out to be a scorching place of harm and racism.
In both stories, The Watsons go to Birmingham and Making Sarah cry has the same themes being different. In the story The Watsons go to Birmingham, they faced discrimination. Also in the story Making Sarah Cry the bully was getting bullied and Sarah came and said “ stop bullying him because he is a friend of mine” and when the bully’s stopped bully boy and bullied Sarah the boy also stood up for Sarah,This is being different because before the boy used to bully Sarah but now that he saw that Sarah stood up for him so did he. This two stories are different because of their affect on society. One story is about race and the other story is about a girl getting bullied on the playground.
They are different because Harrison is trying to disrupt the equality and make it back into a world where people can be unique. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he is trying to create a society where blacks and whites are equal. I believe that Macbeth deserves more blame for his fall because he is the tragic hero in the play. His flaws led him
Both texts present a protagonist who is victims of racial prejudice in the 1940’s due to society attitude and systemic racism to arouse sympathy. Marian in “The Test” and Boyd in “After You, My Dear Alphonse” were both subjected to unfair treatment by the white ‘dominant’ race based on their heritage, African American. Similarly, the characters are constructed to be conscious of their positions in the society. Marian and Boyd refers to people who are ‘superior’ to them as ‘sir’, ‘ma’am’ and ‘Mrs’ or ‘Mr’, which displays respect. Likewise, they are both constructed as capable and well educated as Marian have a college degree and Boyd’s father is a foreman and his sister is a becoming a teacher, therefore they are educated.
In the memoir “I Escaped a Violent Gang” and the play “The Watsons Go to Birmingham.” the theme they used was courage. In “I Escaped a Violent Gang”, Ana had enough courage to join a gang but not only that but to stand up against it. In “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” Sarah and Junior walk in a march for equal rights. They both show courage in different ways in “I Escaped a Violent Gang” the characters actions are different.
It seems Scars own insecurity and low self-esteem set her up to be in an abusive relationship. Scar had no common sense when
Walker refers to her scar as a “glob of whitish scar tissue” (48) rather than just a scar in order to give a concrete image to the readers. This description aids the reader’s understanding of how her physical appearance was her way of defining her beauty and the “glob” (49) was a constant reminder that she was not beautiful enough. The author also exploits descriptive language to demonstrate the pride she took in the materialistic items that made her pretty (“[N]ew t-strap patent leather” 47). These descriptions add to the rhetor’s purpose because the phrases define the denotative meanings behind the imagery created; Walker is able to create a very specific image of each scene in the narrative to help show her priorities were directed by her vanity (“[L]ooking at my recent school picture, which I did not want taken, and on which the ‘glob’, as I think of it is clearly visible”49; “I do not pray for sight. I pray for beauty”49).
First, they are written around the same time period and both about blacks being discriminated. Both the poems gave African Americans a little bit of hope that one day they will be allowed to be around whites and looked at as the same. These poems may be different, but they both have the same meaning. If anyone is going through a rough time in their life, they can overcome it. Blacks were treated terribly and went through some of the roughest times, but they never stopped fighting and never lost hope.
For example, “And he is black / and I am white, and without meaning or/ trying to I must profit from his darkness…” (Olds Line 21-23). In this particular example, Olds says outright the difference between the two; the color of their skin. This quote from the poem, not only tells us their differences based on their skin color, but shows contrast in their lives as well. Based on the time period of this poem, we can assume that blacks are still very much unequal to whites.
The two themes of both poem are similar, they both speak about the difference in race ( A Pakistani girl among English friends, and a black man between among white men), they both convey their deep feeling of how being different affects them, their life and the way people treat them. The two poems also speak about their identity but unlike the similarity of being different, They are opposite of each other ( The teenage Pakistani girl is confused and torn between two identities, but the black man knows who he is, It’s in his bone, he knows where he belongs). They also are opposite from each other in the way they feel towards their sad life, The Pakistani girl just gets on with her life, she did not hold grudges for anyone for the change that happened in her life, while the poor black man held such strong grudges to the white people for the inequality in the way they treat them, he wants to destroy them, watch them suffer just like the way they treated the black people.
