Guest Of Nation By Frank O Connor

Intern Nation by Ross Perlin tells you most everything you ever wanted to know about internships and then some. Equal parts history lesson, tell all and personal commentary, this should be assigned reading for anyone considering taking part in an internship.

It was originally composed by Berlin in 1918 while he was serving in the U.S. Army. He set the song aside for a while and didn’t pick it back up until he later revised the piece in 1938. The most famous version of this song was recorded by Kate Smith. It is even considered her signature song. The songs genre is considered to be an American patriotic song. He received criticism at first, especially from Anti-Semitic groups because Berlin was Russian born and Jewish. However, the song gained quick popularity and was even used by Roosevelt as his official campaign song. The song is often played at sporting events and was sung as a tribute by Celine Dion after the terrorist attacks of September 11th.

Cry, The Beloved Country by Allan Paton shows the theme of “the broken tribe” (Paton 104) throughout the novel. Paton shows the brokenness through the travels of the main character, Kumalo. Kumalo’s trip to Johannesburg and back to Ndotsheni signifies the novel’s theme, the broken tribe. Paton uses a poetic writing style to give the reader an insight into the brokenness that Kumalo sees.

Throughout time there has been a constant ebb and flow of civilizations developing, imploding or being actively destroyed by stronger societies. From the Renaissance to the World Wars, the existence of the human race has never been a question. Even through times of despair and prosperity, the human race has persisted and even advanced itself. Improvements in technology, medicine, education, and communication have increased the life capacity, expectancy, and satisfaction of people every day. However, even with these well intentioned efforts to improve the human race, ultimately our humanity has been adversely affected. Instead, we are now driven by a selfish desire to advance our personal agendas and achieve celebrity status. These misguided behaviors have become the new “norm”.

The title is Native Son is significant because it represents the realistic racial relations from the 1940s. Native Son is a symbol of how each race was impacted by racism. Richard Wright mad Bigger Thomas the first character in any African-American work to represent the unheard voices of those blacks who were defecated and forced into neo-slavery. Bigger was the victim and the whites were the criminals. Native Son is important because it tells all of how slavery negatively impacted both whites and blacks when it started and throughout its modernizations. Whites had to deal with many of the same things as blacks, which was getting killed by the enemy or even being raped by the opposite race. White people were just as scared of black people as black people were scared of them. Native Son is one of the first eye openers as to what really happened to our economy as we let slavery progress. Why didn’t we fight until the end from the beginning, we all knew that the results would end the same? In Native Son, the whites are in the wrong because they intimidated Bigger and his family as if they were the Klu Klux Klan. This novel is the tunnel that will lead you to the truth about what really goes on when racial events occurred in the 1940s.

Native Son by Richard Wright is a book that tackles the complex implications that not really threaten society, but mold society to how it is in present day.

In today’s world, education is the key to our success as a society. With education we are able to do anything we set our minds to. The more educated we are, the more opportunities there are in the real world, but for some people that have less education they are stuck in a world in which they may not understand. In the book Native Son by Richard Wright our main character Bigger Thomas is a young black adult who lives in the south side of Chicago with his mother and siblings. Bigger has an education no greater than the eighth grade. And due to that, some of choices he makes come with consequences. One major consequence of Bigger not having a greater education is that he has a fear of the white people that live in the same city as him. The reason of that fear is that all his life he 's lived in the poor side of the city, and that he’s never learned to see these white people as equal human beings. We as a society should help people like Bigger who don 't have the resources that 'll help them become a better person and that help them have a brighter future.
