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 ?

      During the fall season it is very windy and leaves are everywhere. A very holy man name John was walking through the villages visiting the sick and helping the poor and old. Then one day as he was leaving from what he always do, a big strong wind stops John in his path and he had to catch his balance. After that he continues to move forward to head home as he comes upon another village that looks strange from the time he passed through it earlier. John starts to glance around to find what is different and as he is glancing around he bumps into a beautiful young lady that goes by the name Sarah that is holding bread but it fell when john bumps her.       As he helps her pick up the bread he apologizes and tells her to have a bless day. Sarah then asked john which way he was walking and he walking the same way as her so he walked with her till she reached her point. During their walk Sarah asks John a millions questions and he gave ...

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.

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...

A Lesson before Dying - chapter 3-4 discussion questions Chapter 3 1. Mr. Pichot had no doubt in his mind that jefferson did it and really didn't care much about jefferson. Meaning that he didn't want to help him and he wanted him to pay for a crime that he think jefferson committed. 2. Grant is impling that miss emma doesn't want jefferson to die as a “hog" bud as a man and she needs a teacher to teach him. 3. The back door symbolized where they had to come in and go out of and get things from because they were black. Blacks weren't allowed to enter the front door of any place that didn't allow blacks. 4. Miss emmma prevails because mr.pichot owes her family something for the hard work that they have done and speaking to the sheriff didn't seem like a big favor for mr.pichot to do since they were related in such a way . Chapter 4 1. It's mainly where jefferson will go to be kilt because they consider him a "hog"  and thats where...
