The first passage reminds me of my fear. I’m always skeptical of trying if I would be able to do something that I’m really afraid of. In reference of the chapters that I have read, I was thinking if Ray’s really overcome his fear or he’s just pretending to show Japhy’s that he can also do things like he used to do; pretending that he felt bad and he should try to climb up the mountain. I felt that he is not being honest that time. The way the passage was constructed, you could feel his fear that

In this book, Jeffrey Ogbar talks about the beginning of rap, where it started, some of the artists of this genre and some of the controversial topics the artists rap about. He also talks about the usage of the N word as well as men calling women the B word. In the first chapter of the book, Ogbar contextualizes the debate by talking about the history of the minstrel figure in American popular culture, relying mainly on the work of W. T. Lhamon and Patricia Hill Collins. He talks about how the earliest manifestations of hip-hop music in the 1970s came from the Black Power movement and often included direct rejections of minstrel tropes for example in the artist KRS-One’s song “My Philosophy”. Before going on a chronological study of the internal debates that many rappers have over their relationships with the minstrel trope, Ogbar finds the source of the debate in early twentieth-century black writers’, mainly W.E.B Du Bois, interest in elevating many portrayals of African Americans in the arts, versus Harlem Renaissance writers’ rejection of the emphasis on
As Tom and Brendan talk about plans for their future climb of Mount Everest, Tom reaches the top of the hill with ease, this symbolic moment allows Tom to reflect of his transition personally and how important his relationships with Brendan and Chrissy have been in supporting him.

This achievement and realisation symbolises the growth and change in values and perspective of self that have been achieved through the support of new relationships which have allowed Tom to overcome past events.

When they sing the hymns Zeebo, Cal’s oldest son, goes up to the front of the church. Since the church doesn’t have any hymn books Zeebo has to memorize them and sing a verse to the crowd, which they repeat back to him. Near the end of church the Reverend says that they do not have enough money to give to Tom Robinson’s family. So he closes the church doors and makes the crowd give up ten more dollars to help.
