Pennsylvania Hall Speech By Angelina Grimke

Thank you very much for your generosity! Honestly, there are no words to accurately express my humble gratitude for this remarkable gift offered by you, Marion and Anne Williams. I'm soon to be an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, and I plan to both major in Astronautical Engineering and minor in Computer Science. Ever since my early childhood, I've always been fascinated by the unknowns of space. For instance, it's quite hard to imagine looking at something as massive as Jupiter when you're only given images on Google. Although the images are tremendous, just looking at the planet with your very own eyes could make an astronaut out of anyone. Yet, I'm not actually looking forward to be an astronaut. It's been my dream to work at NASA, but it's

Douglass uses vivid imagery to depict the gruesome and ungodly nature of slavery. For example, in chapter six, Douglass describes the death of his grandmother “…She stands-she sits-she staggers-she falls-she groans-she dies-and there are none of her children or grandchildren present, to wipe from her wrinkled brow the cold sweat of death…” (59) This quote helps the reader imagine the grandmothers death and how helpless she felt. The fact that the slaveholders made it impossible for her children to be there when she died, contributes to the inhumane image Douglass has already been painting throughout the

To continue his persuasion, Douglass uses selection of detail and different tones to make his view known. When describing some aspects of slavery, Douglass’ use of detail opens society’s eyes to injustice. In one case, when describing the whipping of his Aunt Hester, he includes details that encompass sight- “the warm, red blood… came dripping to the floor,” sound- “amid heart-rending shrieks,” and emotion- “I was so horror-stricken… I hid myself in a closet” (Douglass, 24). By including facts covering many senses, he provides the reader a chance to piece together the scene, giving them perspective. If society has all the details, it becomes easier for them to pass an accurate judgment of slavery. His detail, or lack thereof,

1. The female factory worker compared her conditions with those of slaves because she felt like they were being treated like slaves by not being allowed to speak for themselves. She felt that they were awed into silence by wealth and power and was under tyranny and cruel oppression

She told the stories of her losing 13 of her kids to slavery and she told the story of her being in slavery being

The time preceding the Civil War was a hard time in America for African American families and many authors, which are the base of how people portray their community, wrote about these struggles. They do this by creating feelings for their readers that become very persuasive. In the 1800s, stark reality was a very common type of writing. So much was actually happening that it made for good writing and realist definitely took advantage of this golden opportunity. During this time period, the huge problem that was surfacing was select groups of people were treated very indifferent. Women had to be an addition to their husband’s beliefs and African Americans were treated as if they were a piece of cleaning equipment. In My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass and “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin both of these issues are discussed and both use literary techniques that make the audience feel sympathetic to their writing. One technique that Douglass and Chopin use is the use pathos, or the emotional appeal. Another technique that Frederick Douglass uses is his Personal Anecdotes and experiences.

The piece of the text titled, “Reflections on Law, Culture, and Slavery”, that I found most insightful and interesting was the evidence that people of color were taking action to influence the outcome of their sales, the sales of their loved ones, and other aspects of their commercial use. It is clear from other historical evidence that slaves were

Angelina Weld Grimké was born in Boston, Massachusetts February 27, 1880 to Archibald Henry Grimké and Sarah E. Stanley. As a result, Grimké was born into a rather “unusual and distinguished biracial family” (Zvonkin, para. 1). Her father was the son of a slave and her master, who also happened to be the brother of the two famous abolitionist Grimké sisters: Angelina and Sarah. Grimké’s mother, Sarah, was from a prominent, white middle class family; she left Grimké and her African American husband due to racial pressure from her white family and, as a result, Grimké was raised entirely by her father.

Just like Las Casas, Angelina Grimke and her sister Sarah are two very famous women that created history together. While Bartolome De Las Casas changed the Latin Community forever, these sisters changed the way Anti-Slavery was protested. They not only wanted to free the enslaved, but they wanted to end discrimination throughout the United States. The Grimke sisters were not just famous for their avocation against slavery, they were also among the first abolitionists to acknowledge the importance of women’s rights. These two icons were not separate from the other advocates because of their declamatory and legendary talents, nor their never-ending assurance of the causes of racial and gender equality. It was their first-hand experience

Sarah Grimke was born in 1792 as the 8th of 14 children, and Angelina Grimke was born in 1805 as the last of the 14 children. They were born to a wealthy cotton plantation and slave owner Judge John Grimke and his wife Mary. They lived in Charleston, South Carolina as prominent members of their society. It was a slave state during that time. Their parents are strange, Judge John Grimke believes that women should not have an education. When Sarah Grimke went to her father and says that she want to get into a law school, he became so furious with me that he stop her education by age

With twenty-two books to her name, I'm a little surprised I haven't read Nancy Mehl's work...until now. Fatal Frost, is set in St. Louis where the U.S. Marshals and local police are working to thwart a powerful drug cartel's plans to take over their city. Hope surges when a CI slips a video into the hands of officer Nick Brennan, but just as quickly fades when a mole within the department betrays the Brennan—resulting in his death. Now that last person to have contact with Nick, his daughter Mercy, is targeted by the cartel. Immediate and decisive action may be the only way to protect Mercy, ensnare the cartel, and root out a mole.

It brings the stories to life by talking about the realness of what really happened to them and the horrific sights. “Dizzy and sick, he stumbled out into the light, fell down beneath an oak tree. The breaker told Frederick to get up and finish his work.” “The breaker hit him again, and again.” This quote just goes to show how evil the overseers were. Even when the slaves were sick (because of the terrible working conditions) the slaves still get beat just for not being able to get up. This matters because this quote shows the truth behind slavery, it “brings light” on how they got treated and what they got beat, whipped, and lynched for.

The Abolitionists shows a long journey of ending the slavery. How they fought for the freedom for slaves and how they scarify what they had in the way of the human being equality. This documentary helps people to think about the long process that some people toke and they put their life in danger everyday by speaking against slavery. They main point of this story is in these people: Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimke, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and John Brown. Angelina Grimke was from a famous family in South Carolina. Each member of her family had their own slave but Angelina broke slave owning from her family. She was thinking that slavery is sin and God will punish the person who has slave. In 1829 she moved to North and she

Slavery was practiced throughout America in the 18th and 19th century and slave owners worked to make their slaves completely dependent on them, and a system of restrictive codes governed life among slaves. They were usually prohibited from learning to read and write, and their behavior and movement was restricted. Slaves were often beaten, sexually assaulted female slaves and was treated like they weren’t human all because of their skin, they were less of a human. Some people were against slavery, like Harriet Beech Stowe. This novel portrays the way of life it was for some slaves, getting torn apart from family, having cruel masters and more.

Of the four oratory performances that we watched, most effective was Sydney H.’s as Angelina Grimke because of her use of tone, hand motions, and usage of the audience. Firstly, the speech begins with a rhetorical question. When delivering the line, Sydney’s voice used a questioning tone correctly. As the question repeated, she used the same tone but with more emphasis. Also, towards the end of the speech, Sydney raised her voice at the correct time and transmitted empowerment to her audience. The line was crucial to the speech, and Sydney correctly emphasized it. Within the oratories, all of the speakers used tone well, but it stuck out to me more in Sydney’s. Secondly, Sydney’s hand-motions made her oratory very effective. For example, when
