She explained they were filled with kindness and hospitality, always helping each other. For people having so little, they were so giving she explained. “If a grandma down the road needed help, a family would send a child to go take care of her,” giving an example of the unfathomable kindness. Through these trials, it showed Henrietta how to “reach out to others and be aware of their needs.” It was through the trying times that a greater appreciation was generated for the Kenyans.

Ibn Battuta has idiosyncrasies, prejudices, and arrogance. He is also a man of curiosity, and conviction. It is because Ibn Battuta represents or comes across so much like ourselves that it is easy to dive more deeply into his writing and stories and see things through his eyes. What the reader can see is a picture of African civilization before European influence. Battuta’s stories

The Rwandan Genocide also is still an existing issue which killed one million people, mostly Tutis and some Hutu’s, continues to be one of the most tragic and memorable events in the contemporary society of Africa. Specifically for those who were involved. Lucie Niyigena, a 70 year old woman who managed to survive the genocide, is still forced to face her fear everyday living beside someone who could have potentially killed a member of her family. This is just one of the still existing hardships for those forced to live it. This problem has not been changed since historical times partly because modern society has chosen not to make the change.

ESSAY Jack London’s novel the Call Of The Wild is a story of resilience and strength, to overcome the problems faced you need to have these traits. The text follows Buck, a large St Bernard cross Scotch Shepherd dog, as his skills are constantly tested throughout this novella.

During the time period 1850-1914, even though Britain imperializing, Kenya was, in turn, very beneficial for the inhabitants of Kenya. However, the direct rule of Britain put Kenya through a massive transition from being independent to being colonial dominant, in which the natives of Kenya had lesser rights than did before and were treated inhumanely. Before being imperialized, Kenya was already divided into forty-two tribes. The two main kinfolks to be known are the Masai and the Kikuyu. These tribes helped in making the country's diversity, rich culture and heritage. Nonetheless, Kenya didn’t have much global contact; however, they did trade with the Arab merchants but kept it limited because they wanted to preserve their traditional

Cleopatra was a great and powerful ruler. One life changing event was when she had to take the throne with her brothers at age 18. She lead armies to defeat other countries.

The British colonization of Kenya destroyed the culture and economy of the native people, but it established a democratic government and left Kenya a more modernized country.[1] During the 1880’s through 1914, the start of WWI, was an age of imperialism. One place that felt victim to this imperialism was Africa. At this time Africa was a wholly unmodernized continent. The reason the Europeans went after Africa was the introduction of the idea of social Darwinism and the “white man’s burden”. Social Darwinism is the belief that only the strongest and the most cunning can make it to the top of the social ladder, and it was the White Man’s Burden to step in for these undeveloped countries

what is a pioneer? Is just being first to take the path. Or is it something more. The few that choose to take the off-beating path not only face the unknown but also criticism. Phillis Wheatley was a pioneer literature. At eighth, she was bought to America and sold into slavery. Her owners John and Susanna Wheatley taught the young girl to read Greek, Latin, and passages from the Bible. Wheatley starts to compose poems 1767 and her first volume of verse, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, in 1773. Wheatley’s poems gained her vast notoriety amongst colonist and people aboard. At the same time, she has a few critic who didn’t believe she wrote the poems because she was a slave. One of her critics wrote, “this Negro poetess so well fits the Uncle Tom syndrome” (McBride) However, this doesn’t change that she is a founding figure of African American literature. One poem is subject to criticism is her poem “On being Brought from Africa to America.” In the poem “Wheatley chose to use the meditation as the form for her contemplation of her enslavement.” (Frazier) In the poem “On being Brought from Africa to America." Phillis Wheatley uses different poetic devices like figurative language, form, and irony to express the hypocrisy of American racism.

In order to approach this essay question, my analysis will be divided into two parts. The first section will define what the scramble for Africa means.

Though Kenya’s impoverished and underdeveloped conditions were certainly not highlighted in the film, I believe it is important to observe. These conditions are best displayed by the state of the primary school. In the film, students were forced to sit 5 students to a desk and were crammed into a tiny room. Moreover, the Kenyans were highly grateful for the concept of free education. This highly contrasts the state of American schools, which are typically well funded. Americans are used to the concept of free education, so much so, that people now desire free higher education. I believe this theme is important to note because it is the key difference between the Kenyan and American
