Hey, my name is Grant and im a teacher for african American kids and my teaching skills have been tested on teaching someone something that they already are and I need advice on how to tell a man that he isn't a hog. People have called him that and it stuck with him now he is acking like a hog. He has had incidents to where when i gave him food he ate it like a hog. He has said verbally that be is a hog but thats only because thats what they want him to think. He is really a good man that was found guilty of a crime that he didn't commit. He was just in the store with liquor in his hand but he didn't kill anybody. Since he is an African American they want to say he guilty and call him out his name. I want to help but it's challenging in a way.What can i do or say that will help me get the idea of him being a hog out his head to him knowing that he is a man just like me and i can get this big responsibility off my shoulders ?

    My advice to you is to do everything in your capabale of and to try to get everyone you know that can help you to help you because when someone is labled like that i know that it is something hard to deal with abd very stressful so in your power do everything you can and to not give up.

Overveiw Of The Color Purple

    The novel was very entertaining for readers such as myself because it gave more of an insight to womanhood during that time and how many woman are more stronger than the other but at some point they are all the same. The men of the novel were the same as the woman but they had more power or the "upper hand ". In the novel Celie is the main character and is going through a whole lot since 14 ( the books age) but we aren't sure if that's when it all started. Everything switched around for Celie when it got to the end of the novel, I guess she was right when she would say things would last for a minute but heaven last forever. This shows that Celie knew that one day she will get her happiness. This happiness was for all the characters in the novel , even the bad ones received what was destined to happen. Overall the novel is better than the movie but it doesn't matter which one you watch because they are both classics and always will be.

In Martin Luther King Jr. speech " I Have A Dream " he used many rhetorical strategies to get point across to his African American people and also to show how he felt during this time of segregation. The two strategies he used that i will discuss are allusion and pathos. I will use these because i feel that they are very two important strategies. King was a very intelligent person that used many words to show how powerful and important his speech was.     He used allusion to go back in time to bring back an important time in history that all the African Americans will remember. He used it by saying " Five score years ago " he was referring to the Emancipation proclamation that was signed. Also he said " But one hundred years later, the negro still is not free". Then he used pathos by saying " This will be the day when all Gods children will be able to sing with a new meaning" he is saying thats when segregation and all the hatred to African Amer...
