Ruby Red by Linzi Glasses

The Artslink Queensland production of Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron can be described as an example of the Australian Gothic dramatic style. Ruby Moon, set in picture perfect Flaming Tree Grove, is about the tragic dilemma of a couple, Ray and Sylvie, trying to cope with the earlier disappearance of their young daughter, Ruby, while on the way to visit her grandmother at the end of the cul-de-sac (Queensland Education, 2014).

While many obstacles get in the way of friendship, true friendship still lives, even in silence. In the book, The Chosen , By Chaim Potok, two boys, Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders, who are very religiously different and both raised in completely opposite ways, develops a deep friendship. Their friendship opens up their worldview to many other different viewpoints in life. The friendship between these two boys is one with great religious significance, starting off with destiny and Gods will. As Danny and Reuven’s Friendship develops, it teaches them to respond wisely to the values of the more complex and secular world. It also teaches the true value of friendship. Because Danny’s father, Reb

She was not aware that race, gender, or sexuality separated a group of people. The difference between institutional and individual racism is that one targets a single person, while the other focuses on society. In modern society, we turn on the news and it focuses on individual racism, but when we look around, institutional racism is everywhere. Individual racism is when someone being attacked on the personal level because someone doesn’t agree with the color of their skin or personal beliefs. Institutional racism is major groups that have an illusion that one racial group will benefit, but others will be at the disadvantage. Am I the only one who sees such a problem with

Racism can be linked to the stolen generation which was a major event in Australia’s history.Lever implies the concept of racism throughout Bad Blood, although one scene in particular can be found in chapter 21. Mrs Reed would do anything to get rid of Ruby as her eldest son was having a relationship with the family's servant who was a half-caste. Ruby is accused of stealing Mrs Reed's silver cutlery and a fine crystal glass.After Mrs Reed ask her to explain herself Ruby answers with “This is not about cutlery, I love your son.That is no crime.”, the words “that is no crime” are an example of hyperbole. The effect of this exaggeration is that it helps us readers empathize for Ruby as she is only a half-caste servant girl who is not meant to be with someone who is not her race whose consequence for falling in love with the wrong person is to be sent away from her love. The dark history of Australia can be seen in Bad Blood through the theme of racism which is mainly depicted in Ruby’s

When Irene finally realizes that this woman is Clare, someone who chooses to “pass” and hide all traces of her black heritage, Irene’s opinion of her changes. She no longer wants to be involved with Clare in any way, and “had no desire or intention of making the slightest effort about Tuesday. Nor any other day for that matter. She was through with Clare Kendry.” (p. 31) Irene is appalled that someone can so easily throw away her background just for the sake of gaining privilege over another race. When Clare asks her if she had ever thought of passing, Irene replies, “No. Why should I? You see, Clare, I’ve everything I want.” (p. 28) She is happy with what she has, not even having to give up anything to get there. Or at least that’s what she convinces herself to believe. Irene is again hypocritical in her beliefs. Even when she opposes Clare’s view of passing, she is still very interested in the idea. “The truth was, she was curious. There were things she wanted to ask Clare Kendry. She wished to find out about this hazardous business of ‘passing’…” (p. 24) She even admitted that she held for her “a fascination, strange and compelling.” (p. 28) Irene doesn’t seem to be able to decide if she accepts passing as reasonable. She forces herself to disagree with passing, allowing her to hate Clare for doing it. This shows us that sexuality and race are two matters that conflict with each other, at least in Irene’s opinion. She uses race to

Ruby Bridges faced innumerable types of racism. First, Ruby had to be surrounded by Federal Marshals in order to enter the school owing to the fact that the protesters were so vicious. Second, parents were taking their youngsters out

Ruby Bridges, the first African American to go to a white school, she was as brave as a person going into the army. There were death threats to Ruby’s family and in the army you fight and have a chance to die. When Ruby went to this white school federal marshals had to guard her because the riots were so bad. After analyzing several online biographies, Ruby was very brave and wanted to change the way the world looks at race, and she has changed the way the world looks at race.

The documentary “Ruby Bridges” is based on an African American girl who gets the opportunity to attend an all white school based on her intelligence. One has to keep in mind that the people believed in the idea of segregated school. Segregated schools use to excluded children based on color of skin, culture, race, etc. When Ruby attends the all white school there is commotion. She is mistreated by the principle, the staff, and some of the teachers. The angry parents of that school are gathered to protest. These parents are influencing their children to follow their actions by ignoring Ruby. Ruby is the only child in the classroom because the parents do not allow their children in classroom. The little girl ,Ruby, is supported by people

First, The little African American girl was shunned by friends ,and the courageous racist white people. The parents of the 6 year old friend didn't want their daughter to be friends with Ruby because of the attention she was getting. The Racist white people were using any tactic they could to break the little girl down mentally. They would not let their children attend school because of a Ruby. To conclude, ruby was shunned by the public and childhood friends because of the

The Glass Castle, a memoir by Jeannette Walls reveals one look into a dysfunctional family. This personal memoir is full of lessons of redemption and reliance for all. Jeannette and her siblings thrived with parents whose beliefs and stubborn ways of life, changed their children’s’ lives forever. Though their parent’s dreadful actions, the children tried to fend for them. Rex, a very brilliant man, when sober and Rose Mary, an inspirational artist, when not a panhandler risked their own lives daily. Even though Rex and Rose Mary’s lives were unstable at times, they would instill lessons into their children. Their philophies in life I believe relied on one another, which taught their children some

Mrs. Harrison believes that black people have to earn the white people’s respect, trust, freedoms and equality. Mrs. Harrison says to Bob, “You mustn’t think in terms of trying to get even with them, you must accept whatever they do for you and try to prove yourself worthy to be entrusted with more” (52). She states that if black people work hard enough, the white people will reward them. She also wants the black community to wait for the white people to “give” them something better, to accept what the white people “do for them.” She compares the idea of black and white people equality to communism. She tells Bob that he needs to make himself worthy of respect. “You know yourself, Bob, a lot of our people are just not worthy, they just don’t deserve anymore than they’re getting” (52). These comments illustrate how class has a great influence on Mrs. Harrison’s point of view on race. Without having to work and being rich, she is ignorant of the racial discrimination that a day to day skilled worker of Bob’s color has to go through. Like her daughter Alice, Mrs. Harrison has been given special treatment by the white people for her lighter skin, and her social and economic class.

In the Ruby Bridges story that she wrote she expressed how she felt and what she was felling at this time. Ruby Bridges was considered in the category of being an integrate to the people in her school the parents of the children in the school the teachers and she was constantly threatened. The first story tells what was happening such as “protesters carrying signs,yelling insults,and throwing things.” The tim that Ruby was alive the people in her world were very racist against the color of her skin.

Red Jackets’ “Reply to the Missionary Jacob Cram” and the poems written by Phillis Wheatley both have something in common. Belief in a God/god(s). Red Jacket provides that in his culture there is the belief in the Great Spirit which Jacob Cram wants to change to the almighty God and Phillis Wheatley shows how what she went through as a slave brought her to an un-denying devotion to God. Religion is something that has developed continually over the years, but one thing has remained the same… every individual has their own God or god(s) that they profess their faith in. What does the belief in a Great Spirit or the belief in God reveal about Red Jacket and Phillis Wheatley? It reveals who they are as an individual, how they live their life, their character, and also shows their past and how they have gotten where they are today.

Just like its predecessor, Ruby is founded on the concept that isolation equals protection. The citizens view Ruby as a "fortress [they] bought and built up and [which they had] to keep everybody locked in or out" (213). It is a town where "outsider" and "enemy" are "'. . . two words [that] mean the same thing'" (212). They believe in their isolation so much that the outsider, Reverend Misner, feels like "he [is] herding a flock which [believes] not only that it [has] created the pasture it [grazes] but that grass from any other meadow [is] toxic" (212). In an effort to retain this isolation which they believe to be paradise, the citizens did not build anything "to serve a traveler: no diner, no police, no gas station, no public phone, no movie house, no hospital" (12).

If the Bridges did not live in a homogeneous neighborhood than there could have been a possibility that they would have white friends who could support them in the education decisions. Dr. Broyard and Dr. Coles both showed empathy for Ruby and the Bridges family throughout this difficult time in their lives. One way Dr. Broyard cared for Ruby and her family was when he would pick Ruby up every morning for school and make sure she was safe, he protected her and put her life before his. Dr. Coles also showed empathy for Ruby and her family by helping Ruby through this stressful time. He genuinely cared about Ruby and would spend time playing with her.
