    For some time colored people have been missed judged because of their genetic makeup; and because of it they had to live under different circumstances. While white people had the right to live where they want and get any job they wanted. That is still true today and because of it we have colorism “prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone”. In, the novel “The House Behind The Cedars” by Charles W. Chesnutt points out how the mulattos struggle dramatically in racial society and even their own. Compare to mulattos and blacks, white people were privileged and respected, which is Charles W. Chesnutt primary message about race relation.

  • The Tomorrow Girls Run For Cover Analysis

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    This week I am reading chapters 3-6 of “The Tomorrow Girls ‘Run For Cover’” by Eva Gray. I think she is trying to say that the girls HAVE to get back to their home, or something bad could happen to them. I think the main message is that sometimes teachers aren’t always nice, and sometimes you have to do some risky things to get away from people you don’t like. It starts off while all the kids are in the forest, looking for shelter to keep dry from the rainstorm that happened. While they were in the forest, they find this cabin, so they decide to go inside to stay safe. So they go in the cabin and see that it was no ordinary cabin that you find in the woods where there is a cozy couch and a fireplace, it looked like a giant conference room!

  • Invasion Of The Body Snatcher Analysis

    Invasion of the Body Snatcher (1956) was a story about a quite little town that many see as perfect the perfect American town with white picket fences and kind neighbors, but something has changed everyone has changed. The movie serves as a warning about the threat of communists in the United States. Throughout the film there are examples of this threat and how dangerous it can be if we all change to the communist way of life such as a dog almost being run over, an uncle telling stories without the same emotion, and the main characters no longer being in love because one turned into a pod person.

  • Invasion Of The Body Snatchers Analysis

    169 Words  | 1 Pages

    No one is safe. Men, women, and children are all susceptible to the influence of communism in 1950’s America. At least, this is the idea that 1956’s production of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” propagates. The film, being a direct allegory for the Cold war and the threat of communistic views, tells of emotionless, loveless, and inhuman pea pod aliens invading the safe, suburban town of Santa Mira. Although the film may seem like a critique of conformity during the 1950’s through the sameness of the pod people, the unsuspecting nature of a comfortable town, and the historical context of uniformity expected from an idealized community, other contextual evidence lessens this meaning. Instead, details such as the influence of the red scare in

  • What Is The Theme Of Hard Rock Returns To Prison

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first stanza opens with descriptions of Hard Rock that serve as a foundation for the readers to base their understanding of who Hard Rock is. He is “‘known not to take no shit / From nobody,’ and had the scars to prove it” (1-2). After describing his menacing physical qualities, the poem transitions into stanza two with a slight shift in tone that leaves the reader with a feeling that something has changed: “The WORD was that Hard Rock wasn’t a mean nigger / Anymore” (7). This helps set the stage to anticipate how Hard Rock’s transformation; however, stanza two ends with no clarification of what the new Hard Rock is like. Then in the first line of stanza three the tone shifts yet again, “As we waited we wrapped ourselves in the cloak / Of his exploits” (15). They talk of how “he / Smacked the captain with his dinner tray” (17-18) and how “He set / The record for time in the Hole---67 straight days!” (18-19). This shift to a nostalgic tone shows the inmates reluctance to accept the possibility that Hard Rock may have changed. The reader is then quickly thrust back into reality at the open of the fourth stanza when there is yet another tonal shift that parallels that of stanza two. In anticipation the inmates watch as their hero is tested for the first time; “A hillbilly called him a black son of a bitch” (24) and “a screw who knew Hard Rock / From before shook him down and barked

Throughout the play, women become victim to unfair and misogynistic treatment from their husbands. This is mainly evident in Big Mama, Maggie and Mae’s respective relationships.
