Argumentative Essay On Bloodline

The following plot of the novel introduces Twyla’s in-laws; Morrison informs the reader that the family is big and loud. The family’s description fits an African American family further assuming Twyla’s racial identity as black. The loudness and mal-functioning reflection in modern television shows, portrays that African- American families are depicted as loud, while White families are calm and collected. Also, the ethnic stereotype of the neighborhood she lives in is a lower class neighborhood not an upper-class neighborhood. Both of these stereotypes depict an African American family, hence Twyla’s black race. Furthermore, Twyla and Roberta, meet once more, Twyla implores about her slick dressing, expensive jewelry and her appearance as rich. Besides she is driven around by a big car (Morrison 1180). The description mirrors Roberta both as a white and African-American woman. From a readers stereotypical view, she appears as black showing off her wealth, also, her now slick hair denotes an African-American woman who has treated her hair for easy management. On the contrary, the well-dressed image of a woman being chauffeured around implies a white woman.

In 1951, Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer at John Hopkins Hospital. Without any consent, Henrietta’s doctors took tissue samples from her cervix and attempted to grow them and keep them alive. These cells, known as HeLa cells, began to grow at an unbelievable rate; The HeLa cell became vital for the development of vaccines and other scientific research.

“Like father, like son; like mother, like daughter,” right? Well in this case it’s surprisingly not. In the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie Crawford, raised by her grandmother, does not follow the family cycle of getting violently raped by a white man and having a child at a young age. Family cycles are scientifically proven, stating that patterns in previous generations will most likely continue in the following generation, unless somehow prevented. Nanny, who dearly cares for Janie, is beyond protective, only because she fears for her granddaughter’s safety.

The author uses the young girls’ friendship to show the world that if small children can interact freely despite being of different races, why would adults discriminate against one another? The author intended to use two different races without mentioning them since he knew that readers are very intelligent and can always figure out the races he was talking about. In addition, the author was very skillful in keeping the reader in suspense so as to compel the reader to read all through in an effort to find out what the two races are (Sklar, Howard 137-154). The author is trying to show us that there are different social classes between the two races. This is evident through the description the author gives the two mothers, that is the mother of Twyla and Roberta’s mother. Twyla’s mother is described as party lady who often attends to parties such that she can’t afford to have time to care for her daughter. This alone shows that Twyla’s mother belongs to a better well off social class. Only a person with money would go to parties very often. Therefore, as readers, we are able to conclude that Twyla and her mother belong to a high social class. Only people in high social classes are associated

How would you feel about going to painful treatments everyday of your life? How about losing your mother? How would you feel? What if she helped make one of the most important scientific discoveries in the world? Would you feel upset, angry, or confused? This right here is why my greatest empathy goes to Henrietta Lacks and her family. To go deeper in my questions and explain why I said this because, Henrietta Lacks if you didn’t know after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer everyday just about she had to walk to John Hopkins hospital to get painful and dreadful treatment for the rest of her life. Furthermore, Henrietta Lacks died at the age of 31 on October 4, 1951. This means Deborah and the rest of her siblings grew up without their

Dawson’s Landing sees no difference in someone that is 100% black compared to someone that is 3% black. Tom, being the son of the high ranking Driscoll family, lives an easy and privileged life in Dawson’s Landing.

Eugenics is very controversial. It is important to be informed on the subject to avoid making rash and hasty decisions on whether or not it is right or wrong. It is up to each individual to gain the knowledge necessary to determine the moral correctness or incorrectness of any topic. Often decisions are made without information to back them up. You must understand the term before understanding the action. In this way, we must understand eugenics in a general sense and in detail. We must start with defining the term eugenics.

Mama is not the only character that is intricately characterized in the book. Beneatha, Lena’s daughter, is also put together to represent the inevitability of living like one of the lower class. She says that, “George looks good- he’s got a beautiful car and takes me to nice places..” (Hansberry 49) While this quote defines Beneatha’s acceptance of George’s privileged life, it is said with a shadow of jealousy. According to Freydberg, a writer and author, this “establishes the class differences between the Youngers and the Murchisons.” This new “fine line” that separates the upper and lower class creates individual characteristics that define each class. Darwin Turner, an honored African American who taught at the University of Iowa, asserted that even though the “blacks and whites have similar character traits and similar values, they are ambivalent about social interrelationships.” These two races are truly self-defining, and the inequality between these two ethnicities proves it. With Beneatha’s apparent jealousy for the life of the upper class, the text

I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it didn’t matter the decision was already made.

When I hear the word family, I think of people who are are blood related, the people you live with, and the people you see all the time. They provide for you and embarrass you. People are also family, even if they aren’t blood related, but are there for you no matter what and they mean everything to you. Family is always by your side when you need them. People hear family and think about parents, I hear family and think about my parents, aunts, cousins, friends, and my karate family. They are all so important to me and I don’t know what I would do without them. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet displayed family in an interesting way. When Juliet said she didn’t want to marry Paris, her mother said she would disown her if she didn’t do
