His mother knew how hard it would be for him not knowing the language, how the difference of his culture would and could affect him. This article was written in two-thousand thirteen, it is a recent article proving that the differences in cultures are still relevant. His anecdote is essential because he gives background to what goes on in the differences of culture and examples of how culture has perceptions and how it can shape oneself. “My boss, half African-American and half white herself, jokingly called me "half-caste," insisting that I would one day admit that I wasn't totally white.” (Edelman 59.40) This justifies my point that the way we look does have an influence on the way others view “us”.

Ladies and gentleman, speaking on the behalf of the Patriots organization, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a player who will go down in history as one of the best in his lifetime, Logan Mankins. Patriots fans have been fortunate to watch #70 play eight years within this organization, playing well over 100 games within that time.

An ironsmith, ship steward, crewman, cook, clerk, navigator, amateur scientist, and even a hairdresser. These are all jobs that Olaudah Equiano held during his lifetime. He has been called the "most influential African writer in both Africa, America and Britain before the Civil War", and was born in Essaka, Nigeria sometime during 1745 (O'Neale, 153). His family was part of the Ibo tribe, which was located in the North Ika Ibo region of Essaka. In his earliest years, Olaudah Equiano was trained in the art of war.

Malcolm Gladwell makes many debatable claims in his book “The Outliers”. One of these controversial topics is brought up in chapter three when he talks about a person’s IQ and how that relates to one’s success. After reading “Outliers” I believe that this is the most controversial topic. I agree with Malcolm Gladwell because there are a lot of people who are not really smart that are very successful, success can be viewed differently by different people, and by my own experiences on the U-High soccer team.

Nicolas J. Cotinha, born on January 13, 1945, was a soldier of the United States Army and a recipient of the Unite States military’s highest decoration –The Medal of Honor- for his actions in the Vietnam War.

He was killed during the battle and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions, and Purple Heart.

In the spring of 1841, Solomon Northup accepted an offer of short-term employment as a musician, accompanying a pair of white men, circus performers working their way back to their troupe. A free African-American and resident of New York state, Northup expected the job to take him from Saratoga Springs to New York City, entailing only a brief absence from home — so brief, in fact, that he did not leave word for his wife, also employed away from home for a number of weeks, since he expected to return before her. When they reached New York City, however, his employers urged him to continue with them to Washington, D.C., where they were to meet the circus, promising employment at high wages for the season

During the nineteenth century, slavery was brought to an end in the United States. However, before this time many African slaves were taken from their homeland and stripped from their families to be sold into labor. The increase in supply and demand of crops in the United States increased the need for labor, which led to plantation owners to buy slaves for cheap work. There were no laws during this time that kept men from doing this type of act. Olaudah Equiano was an African slave from Essaka that has experienced many hardships as a slave.

Olaudah Equiano was a righteous man who was stolen from his home as a child, and made into a slave. Through Equiano’s time as a slave he endured many hardships and made many friends who he would never see again due to death, or the slave trade. Equiano made a memoir to show readers what it was like to be a slave, and to show his hardship through his own eyes without showing himself as someone who is looking for compassion or compensation of any kind. I believe Equiano wanted to provide his readers with hope no matter how dark their situation by showing them through his eyes the despair he endured and overcame.

He had denounced the standards of organization for utilitarian purposes, which subjugates the individuality of people and turns “a multitude of men . . . into a gigantic system”; the passion of greed among colonial powers, “stalking abroad in the name of European civilization,” and humiliating subject races; and the impersonal attitude in modern humanity that transforms
