Summary of Many Thousands Gone

In the essay summary of many thousands gone, James writes about the life of an African American who expresses himself by music. White People do not understand this concept. When White people hear his story they are shocked by the out come. African Americans are viewed as second class citizens which is very sad. When African Americans were slaves they were considered worthless. White people wanted the African Americans to be scared of them. Being an African American was very tough for all the people back then. The African Americans had no privileges and were striped of their dignity. There lives were very difficult. The less people who knew them the better off they were because whites thought that they did not deserve an education of any sort. Some non African Americans felt uneasy around them. Therefore, when one walked into a room full of white people there was dead silence. In conclusion I feel sorry for all the things that the African Americans went through.

summary part 2James Baldwin Many Thousands Gone

The thing that catches my eye is the way he expresses his feelings about our history and be adopted to a strange land. The immigrants who came to this country unwillingly felt like they were useless and were treated with little or no respect. To most people the immigrant’s role was to work from sunrise to sundown with very little pay. So since the immigrants were not white they were told dark skin was a terrible color to be born with. Mr. Richard Native Son is the first one to become a successful story through these trying times. There has always been a good battle between the circumstances and the youth of the person in those situations. The color barrier was a problem because it would always hold the African Americans back so the white man can feel some what superior.One African American was very lucky to learn how to read and write. He liked acting like a member of congress. The congress job was a big responsibility. Another way that African Americans were proud of one another was because they believed they could work through these tough epic times.Mr. Wright needed someone to become a key icon. No matter how huge this icon got his people or anyone gave him the respect he deserved. Being an African American is so difficult because you need to make sure what you say will not be used against you later. Without making to much of a mess the African Americans were trying to take control of their society.In conclusion I believe the dark days are behind him. Another way you take this is how much the white man had to learn about the African American culture.

James Baldwin

Music is the only way Americans were able to understand the African American's stories. When Americans now a days would hear this story we become so shocked and cant believe what we were hearing. The Africans American felt like they were being betrayed just because of their skin. We must view ourselves before we can view someone else.

Full Moon Over New Orleans After The Hurricane

Hurricane Katrine was a horrific event. Many people lost their lives. The homes in New Orleans were destroyed and left looking like scrap. The moon was full that night and had a shiny glow to it. It took a long time to recover from the accident. The city that liked to live the life style of easy street was now all under destroyed houses and no one knew what to do. Most citizens just wanted to get out alive. The Hurricane became the front line news report so the whole world was aware of this terrible accident. The moonlight made some people feel at peace for a period of time. We sent a lot of help for the people in New Orleans. Most people had to stay in home shelters just to make ends meet. The people of New Orleans were very grateful for the report that they received. I hope nothing like this happens again anytime soon.
