From the start of independence, the question of career selection has stumbled teens across the globe. Whether the outcome be based on the amount of money, the location, or even the very few who find their true passion, no one has a definitive idea on what they will pursue at an early age.

In his play Where the Blood Mixes, Kevin Loring casts light on the rippling effects of the trauma caused by residential schools on generations of Indigenous peoples in the twenty first century. Loring's play, which is set in the twenty first century, illuminates the present-day legacy of residential schools and residential school survivors. Loring strives not to minimize the experiences of residential school survivors, but to reconstruct how residential school survivors are viewed and represented. Loring achieves this task through his depiction of characters that are sad but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed with and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful

In Cold Blood, written by Truman Capote, is a book that encloses the true story of a family, the Clutters, whose lives were brutally ended by the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun. The killers were 2 men, each with 2 different backgrounds and personalities, each with his own reasons to take part in such a harrowing deed. Capote illustrates the events leading up to the murder in sharp detail and describes its aftermath with such a perspective that one feels that he is right there with the culprits, whose names are Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. They had very critical roles in the murder and how they themselves were caught, and in many ways they were foils for one another. Through Capote's extensive descriptions

Whites didn’t just open the door up and say, ‘Yall come in, integration done come.’ ‘It didn’t happen that way in Oxford. Somebody was bruised and kicked and knocked around-you better believe it’”. The social revolution of the 1960s changed America in ways that will be debated for a long time to come. Legacies both positive and negative were a part of that revolution, along with a few stirring controversies held over. Stories of heroic acts of protest, sweeping reforms, and unresolved crimes remain with people even today. In Oxford, it seemed that the nonviolent Civil Rights Movement had accomplished almost nothing, for white Oxford had closed the gate against reform. In the book, “Blood Done Sign My Name “, Tyson telling a story where an impassioned sense of justice is denied. Throughout the book Tyson accomplished three things he gave his personal story of what it was like to grow up in the south, to look at the investigation of a brutal crime where new evidence is brought forth, then he talks about the history of the Civil Right era especially in Oxford where the murder of Henry Marrow ignited the flame among the black community.

In the essay Blood Ties, Alex Mar tells the history of her famous ancestor Juan Ponce. Mar points out that Ponce was a conquistador who set out to conquer parts of the Americas, but in doing so, committed multiple atrocities. Because of the actions of her ancestors, Mar believes that the choices her ancestors made will reflect on how she is viewed and the guilt will carry on or as she puts it “inherit the darkness.” From this reading, I believe people celebrate and choose to remember the positive things that their ancestors did, but censor what they deem to reflect negatively on them. By doing this, we are essentially holding back the truths that have made our families what they are regardless if the truth sheds a negative light on us. For

It is these extreme behaviours, which challenge and contradict the values that most individuals have been taught from the very beginning. The values the boy must carry into the future. After the mother’s death, all that stands between him and death is his father’s light. It is this light at the end of the tunnel, which allows the man to continue his quest. Despite all the wrong deeds occurring around the world, the boy progresses through his quest whilst also upholding his values such as dignity, perseverance, justice and faith. But it is a greater story of survival, it is the story of the world surviving with the morals, beliefs and laws that are at risk of losing. This concept of the story profoundly confronts my values and how others reject them for their own survival at any cost. Having experienced the environments of a refugee camp, if people were to abandon their values and beliefs just as the characters in The Road, then there would be no hope or future left for them to look forward to.

"My last night of childhood began with a visit home (Butler, 1995, p. 1).” In her short story Bloodchild, Octavia Butler presents the story of a boy named Gan raised in a dystopian society where two different species depend on each other to survive. From a psychological point of view, childhood is a process that marks a big part of your life. In Freud's subconscious theory, different events can be compared with the growth of Gan: the human mind structured as an iceberg, the memories of Gan and the last day of his childhood.

Just because they have different coloured skin and practice a different religion does that make them someone less than you? In the end without the color and religion barriers aren’t you just a human being so why treat each other differently? Why aren’t “white people” bullied because of their beliefs? Will racism ever go away? These questions also helped build some connections to world. Some connections I instantly made to the world were about how poorly some people are treat because of their race. In the book Muslims were forced to leave their homes and move because of a political crisis and resettle somewhere else. This is occurring even today. Take America for example. Trump and a larger part of America thinks muslims are “terrorist” and have enforced a muslim ban. This has forced many muslims to reconsider living in USA. Another connections to the world is of genocides. The WW2 genocide mentioned in the book, reminded me of the Rwandan genocide and the terrible aftermath of it. This story makes a lot of connections to the social problems that have been carried on from the 1900’s to present

Blood. When it slowly trickles down your neck, it feels like a snake slowly slithering all the way to the floor. The blade is pressed against my neck, so hard I can feel it as I take a single breath. Winding my elbow forward, I take the opportunity to hit my opponent where the sun doesn’t shine. I then release my self from his grip on me. As he attempts to block out the pain and continue to fight I roundhouse the blade from his grip. We all hear the blade skid against the cobblestone floor. I tackle my opponent to the floor and straddle him so he can’t move even an inch.
