  • Black, White, and Indian:Race and the Unmaking of an American, by Claudio Saunt

    Did the five-generation family known as the Grayson’s chronicled in detail by Claudio Saunt in his non-fiction book, Black, White, and Indian: Race and the Unmaking of an American deny their common origins to conform to “America’s racial hierarchy?” Furthermore, use “America’s racial hierarchy as a survival strategy?” I do not agree with Saunt’s argument whole-heartedly. I refute that the Grayson family members used free will and made conscious choices regarding the direction of their family and personal lives. In my opinion, their cultural surroundings significantly shaped their survival strategy and not racial hierarchy. Thus, I will discuss the commonality of siblings Katy Grayson and William Grayson social norms growing up, the sibling’s first childbearing experiences, and the sibling’s political experience with issues such as chattel slavery versus kinship slavery.

  • Crooklyn Movie Analysis

    Family structures are complex because although they can be dysfunctional at times, they also provide individuals with a lot of guidance and deeply rooted values. This movie helped achieve the course objective of taking a personal exploration of African American cultural experiences for several reasons. Aside from being based off of Spike Lee’s life, Crooklyn was the reality for black families across the country during that time period. Families had to battle several oppressing factors in addition to trying to keep their heads above water. Having a functional family in the city is by no means easy, and the movie Crooklyn effectively depicts that truth. While there were a lot of negative connotations shown there was also emphasis put on how strong the black family is. In my opinion, the film signifies familial strength because although there were a lot of factors against them, such as money issues and negative influences, the family remained united, prevailing all of those things. In addition, it is important to acknowledge the significance of Troy’s trip down south to see her aunt. Her trip allowed her to mature into a young lady, which ultimately prepared her to take care of her younger brother after her mother’s death. This showed that people outside of an individual’s immediate family that contribute

The social problems that were present in Southie, Boston all could have been minimized if only the parents had led their children down the right path. Parents could have warned their children of the horrors associated with any associations to the drug trade, discouraged them from discrimination against people of different races, and reporting the violence that occurred in their neighborhood instead of remaining silent in the hopes of upholding some kind of Southie loyalty code/ “Southie code of silence” (MacDonald 8). Instead parents did not teach their children about the dangers of the drug trade; they encouraged racial discrimination, and remained quiet in the face of violence. All of those things contributed to the poor living conditions and bad reputation of South “Southie” Boston.

    After reading both Dragonwings and Let the Circle Be Unbroken it is easy to see the connection to the real life events happening in those time periods. In Let the Circle Be Unbroken it is easy recognizable that the events that take place with the Logan family can be compared to real life experience that African American families went through during the time of racism and segregation. In Dragonwings we see the struggle that Chinese families went through in the transition for a world that they were completely used to into a world that is the polar opposite. The difference we see in Moon Shadow and Black Dog shows how the transition affects people different and how life can change.

    The average family: a married man and women, 2.5 children, with a beautiful home that has a white picket fence and a dog. However, this “average” family image has changed drastically over the past decade particularly with the acceptance of gay marriage and green cards that are easier to obtain; this has had a substantial influence not only on our society but leverage on social media. An example of this changed media dynamic is displayed through the comedic mockumentary, Modern Family.

The portrayal of the families and their dysfunction shows that not every family is a picture-perfect example of what a typical family is but its unrealistic to believe that every family doesn’t have their own troubles and rocky patches but it’s the family’s dysfunction that in all builds the characters to who they are and what moved the plot forward in many ways and can be related to ones own

  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

    The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee contain a very engaging family who are the Cunninghams. The Cunninghams are very poor; they are people who live in the woods. They are a family who depend highly on crops. Walter Cunningham, the 'father' of the family has to work hard on the cultivation of crops because crops is the only form of wages for them. The Cunninghams have no money. Their only way to survive is through paying others with their crops. The Cunninghams are not main characters in the book, but they are characters who 'brought out' other characters' personality. Harper Lee displays that there is a lot of prejudice going on in Maycomb by putting the Cunninghams in the book. "The Cunninghams [were] country folks, farmers"(21) who are very honest people in Maycomb, they "never took anything they [could not] pay back"(23), but they are unfairly mistreated by part of the society in Maycomb.
