Short Story: Luna's Blood

Lorraine Hansberry, the author of “A Raisin in The Sun”, was born in Chicago, Illinois. Hansberry was the youngest of four children. Her father Carl Augustus Hansberry was a prominent real estate broker and her mother Louise Perry was a stay home mother. She grew up on the south side of Chicago in the Woodlawn neighborhood. Later the family moved into an all-white neighborhood, where they experienced racial discrimination. Hansberry attended a predominantly white public school while her parents fought against segregation. In 1940 Hansberry’s father engaged in a Supreme Court case of Hansberry v. Lee which was a legal battle against a racially restrictive covenant that attempted to prohibit African-American families from buying homes in the area. As a result in Supreme Court case of Hansberry v. Lee it made the family subject to the hellishly hostile in their predominantly white neighborhood.

A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is a play that displays housing discrimination in Chicago during the 1950s. Housing discrimination was partially an effect of the Great Migration. This was an event during the 1950s that resulted in about six million African Americans “migrating” from the south to the north, Midwest, and west regions of the United States. This caused the population of black people in major northern cities to increase rapidly. They are then only able to live in certain neighborhoods, which keeps their communities segregated.

Walter is a man just like many others; he has a job, a family, and he also has ambitions in life just like anybody else. Walter is not the only one in his family that has ambitions, almost everybody else in his family have ambitions as well. These ambitions created conflicts between family members after they all found out that Walter's mother (Lena) have been settled by an insurance company for the death of her husband, and she is about to obtain a large sum of money.

Mrs. Tagus says she is having the awful stomach trouble over tonight, this some sort of triangular problem between the three children that I

The UK is not a place one thinks of producing westerns. In fact there have only ever been two made entirely on the island that once ruled the world. Blood Moon is one of those, not sure what the other was-sign of poor journalism. On the other hand, wearwolves is something we do associate the English with---Wearwolves of London anyone's?--- This is where Blood Moon falls, a genre mashup for John Wayne/John Landis fan in all of us.

With a deep breath, he speaks loudly so all can hear, knowing that his voice would be carried to all the craft in the fleet, to the world below, screaming back at him in rage, begging for mercy, for help, but he has no help for them save death.

Over the past couple weeks, I have gained a lot of knowledge on African American history and a look into their daily lives. The unit that I thought influenced me the most was unit two with "A Raisin In The Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry. The reason I thought unit two influenced me the most was because of the play "A Raisin In The Sun" and the unit readings that explained how bad the tension between the white and blacks were. I thought this was a big eye opener for me, I knew there was tension between the two races, but not as bad as to where blacks could not even live in a white neighborhood without the possibility of their house being bombed. I also learned a lot from the unit about job positions back then and how it was hard for black men to

With torture out of the picture, Draco's nightly meetings with Luna become quite typical of what one would expect between two teenagers, one in love and one in denial.

You see, my two year old blonde haired baby boy was not having such a great day. I picked him up to be hold he was hitting his friends at school, climbing on tables..not listening. I think sometimes I forget he's 2 because he talks like he's 10. I hold him to a much higher standard than any other 2 year old. So I brush that off and head the store. He didn't want to sit in the cart, he wanted to hold all the groceries on his lap, he wanted to throw unnecessary things in the cart and when he couldn't... He got mad. He threw his boots. And he cried. And people stared. That was fine, I could handle that.

These needs are: physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem from others, self-actualization (personal fulfillment), and self-transcendence (using personal fulfillment to affect the community). At the beginning of her school years, Luna only fulfills her physiological and safety needs (Rowling, 2003). However, as she becomes friends with the members of Dumbledore’s Army, she also gains belongingness. Through the unconditional positive regard which she receives from her friends, her need for belongingness is fulfilled. As the war begins and Luna exhibits bravery by fighting back against Voldemort and his followers, she begins to receive esteem from others as well (Rowling, 2007). By the end of the series, she has not attained personal fulfillment as she still has many goals which she is working towards. However, even though Luna is only in her teenage years, she begins to get close to self-actualization through the experiences she has. Self-actualization is a lifelong process. According to humanism, accepting oneself creates growth across the lifetime (Winston, 2015). Therefore, Luna has the ability to continue to work toward self-actualization and self-transcendence throughout her

Over the weekend I went to a friends house that I haven't seen in a long time. We went swimming in a river, rode ponies and horses. When we went to the river it is freezing so I only put my feet in the water but my friend on the other hand jumped right in and she was splashing me, so I took some sand and dirt and through it at her. After swimming, we rode horses and ponies. I rode one of her ponies named Cinnamon, I jumped her, barrel raced with her, and practiced multiple events with her. Then after the pony I rode my friends sisters horse named Scarlet. I did the same things with Scarlet as I did with Cinnamon but I worked harder with Scarlet then I did with cinnamon, I worked harder with Scarlet because Scarlet is a bigger horse and you

Miss Havisham is inflicted with dysthymic disorder. Those who carry this illness around can potentially show signs of being physically exhausted. This indication can have the meaning of “fatigue or loss of energy almost every day” (Dysthymic disorder 2016). When Pip was invited to Miss Havisham’s home the first time, at that moment whilst Pip and Estella were playing cards Pip had thought of how grim Miss Havisham looked after she started asking Pip questions in which showed the results of her affecting past, “Saving for the one weird smile at first, I should have felt almost sure that Miss Havisham's face could not smile. It had dropped into a watchful and brooding expression - most likely when all the things about her had become transfixed

He lunged forward, covering his eyes, slapping the symbol at the edge of the pentagram that was meant to send her back. He saw the flash of light through his eyelids, not blinded this time as he had expected it. Once it died down, he opened his eyes only to see her still standing there, not sent back to where she had came from. Crap, I summoned an upper demon! he thought to himself, his faced etched in fear and panic. He began to back up, channeling his mana in his hands, a blue ball forming in it. He looked at the large ball of warm magic before firing it at her, wanting to get as much distance as quickly as possible, hoping the spell would stun her and allow him to get away back to the school for

After spending a whole night under the sky, my clothing became quite dirty. Fortunately I brought some change, but I hadn’t found a place to dress myself yet. Furthermore, I also wanted to take a bath. This morning my stomach went to a strike. Mrs. Belgium’s waffles only survived for one day, so I had to shake my brain to find food. The thing was...
