Nelson Mandela 's Fight For Freedom And Equality

"But her story lasts for six." This quote is saying that her story lasts for six more months, but there is more foreshadowing to the end of this passage then this single excerpt. The fact that it said it was a ‘calm night' makes you wonder if something is going to happen. If this night is calm, then another is most likely going to be chaotic. Also, it says the calm will last for three more months, then things will dwindle into chaos. So three months of calm, and Liesel's story only last for six months. ‘What is going to happen that will end all of this?' The foreshadowing excerpts seem to ask the reader. Though life is good now, it was not going to last. Something is going to happen that will change Liesel, but it does not hint at whatever

To start with, Nelson Mandela was born in Transkei on 18 July 1918.Mandela's birthday (July 18) was proclaimed "Mandela Day" to advance global peace and celebrate the South African leader's legacy. Nelson Mandela's father, who might have been ordained to be A chief, served Likewise an instructorship on tribal chiefs for a couple years regardless lost both Likewise much title Moreover fortune through a banter with the local colonial magistrate. Mandela, though only an infant at that time, was greatly affected by the incidents.

Regarding Nelson Mandela, he uses his voice and presidential power to find a way in which he can unite the whites and blacks of South Africa. When he discovers that sports, particularly rugby, can be used as a method to unite the people of South Africa to cheer for one team despite how divided its people may be, it signifies how influential and wise of a leader he is to the people of South Africa. This is so inspiring for me because he found an interest that both the whites and blacks of South Africa have in common that will help bridge the gap between them despite their troubled history with each other. Some characteristics of Mandela that indicate how influential of a leader he became for the people of South Africa is because of his transparence, empathy, courtesy, and humility. Mandela served as such a vital figure as a leader in uniting South Africa through his devotion to the rugby team. He understood how influential this team was to the entire nation, and he made every effort to establish a close relationship with the team by frequently meeting and speaking with the players and attending their games. Due to his valiant efforts, he did everything he could to help inspire the team by investing so much time into their success as a leader to the point where they felt that they would have failed the entire nation had they not won the World Cup. Now, this surge of success among the rugby team was ignited by the captain of the team himself, Francois Pienaar.

Throughout history there has been a strong hold on women to adhere to the culture of domesticity. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this value system was engrained in the class system in the United States. According to Barbara Welter in her article The Cult of True Womanhood: 1820-1860 this system of values defined a woman’s role in regards to the virtues of her actions within the family system. A woman was to be submissive, pure, and pious. She also had to fulfill her domestic duties to the family and community. The women of a community were the connections to faith and family. They had to uphold the standards of their religion and be steadfast in their faith. Having a pious presence in her family and community also built up a woman’s self-worth as she was an active member with the church. Her Christianity offered her praise and respect from her fellow citizens and her family. This social order is presented in Nathanial Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter written in 1850. Hester Prynne, the heroine of the novel could possibly be viewed as one of the very first feminist in literature. She defies the power of the Puritan society and from her rebellious actions; the reader can see an emerging feminist consciousness within Hester, which is then passed along to her daughter Pearl.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one 's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others” ("Nelson Mandela." History).

Mandela has been influenced by Gandhi all along his life. Gandhi, who was peaceful protestor against oppression led the Indian campaign in 1913. By this campaign, Mandela understood that to be successful in the freedom struggle, it was necessary to make sacrifices, and to suffer for the cause. Gandhi’s passive resistance inspired Mandela a lot and for the first years of his political career, he promoted non violent actions. These actions were therefore illegals, and like Gandhi, he was courageous and accepted the fact that those actions may led him to prison, like in Gandhi's case. However, when Mandela noticed that the passive resistance wasn’t effective, he decided to act in consequence, and to play by the government rules (use violence).
