Summary Of The Book 'Savage'

I read chapter 1 of the book Savage Inequlities where the author Jonathan Kozol explores the city of St. Louis Illinois. The author describes the city as one of the poorest cities in America with a population of almost 100% black people. Jonathan Kozol, emphasizes that the poverty of the city is so bad that there is no garbage pickup, sewages in the streets and in the schools, hazardous waste and no waste management system. Moreover, the city is surrounded by chemical plants that contaminate the air and soil which leads to sickness and death. High rate of unemployment cause 75% of the population living under welfare.

Savage touches on the basis that blackness was virtually equated with slavery so almost every African American was a slave in the 1860s who worked hard in different fields of labor. African Americans were not only already treated very unfairly because of their place in society as a slave but they were also dehumanized and not looked at as a contributing factor of society. He further discusses this idea that within slave labor, slaves were dehumanized and transformed into like beasts of burden. Savage points out that many masters would think of their slaves as unskilled workers and they would never admit that they depended on the slaves labor for a successful civilization. Savage brings to light this problem that african american are looked at as animals, and not contributing people in society. It is clear from this text that African Americans have no place in society, not even in the labor force

Some families have a few skeletons in their closets, but Aiden Lockwood's family really takes this to another level.

His childhood memories, in particular, are hard to recall until the return of a friend that he hadn't seen in many years.

Lucy had heard stories before, about the pillaging the "savages" would do in a town after exacting vengeance. The newspapers loved to exaggerate moments like these to sell and try to find people to give "first hand" accounts, but she also knew that many of these reports had some truth to them.

I created this newspaper article titled “Savage in Plymouth?” as a way of representing the shock and awe of Nadie’s arrival. Townspeople were fascinated by Nadie they wanted to see if the rumors about Native Americans were true. In contrast to my newspaper, information about her arrival was moved by word of mouth, but I felt that a newspaper article would help paint a better picture of what was happening during this time. The image of the Native American woman representing Nadie is the watercolor painting completed by Master John White, a major character in A World Away.

In this conversation they discuss questions that the savage has, due to his Curiosity from being outside the "Brave new world" he asks questions that normally no one else would ask even if they were Alpha +'s or Alpha ++'s. The savage also asks Mustapha why no one reads any of the old books as to which Mustapha responds saying that no one would understand the concept such as Shakespeare for example, the books are to old and God doesn't really exist anymore.

Victor Kelleher's book Taronga is an inspiring book about a boy barely a teenager who manages to find his style through the 'Last Days'. The 'Last Days' is as what the title displays, all the same, it will have the teen readers wanting more.

Dan Savage’s has a column named Savage Love that covers labiaplasty, plastic surgery, vaginal rejuvenation and tightening, trimming away labial tissue and, injection fat from another part of the body into the labia to take away droopiness. It is hard to believe that this man is and experts of a woman’s body. Then there is Dr. Matlock who made the statement “the Woman is the designer; the doctor is just the instrument”. Do any of the doctors every try to inform any of the women that they are beautiful just the way they are. If there is nothing medically wrong with their vagina or labia that no one will ever see it.

The purpose of Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" was to increase the tolerance of Native Americans by the English settlers. He uses many forms of "tongue-in-cheek" writing, like sarcasm and irony, to compare the ways of the Natives and the ways of the settlers. He takes on the very uncommon mindset that the Native Americans were not as savage and barbarous of many claimed them to be. He aimed to prove that the Natives were just as civilized as the settlers even at times saying that they were more civilized like in this excerpt here: "Having frequent Occasions to hold public Councils, they have acquired great Order and Decency in conducting them. The old Men sit in the foremost Ranks, the Warriors in the next, and

One way that Kelleher creates the impression that teenagers can cope with danger in life-threatening events are through the employment of child and adult protagonists. Teenagers are engrossed to the novel through this suspenseful plot, which places Ben in

Furthermore, teenagers can use traumatic experiences to reexamine their life priorities. Everyone has a contrasting view in what they consider the most important. For instance, one may believe that moral values are more important than wealth. When teenagers encounter different paths in their lives, it allows them to make more beneficial decisions in the future. In All Good Children by Catherine Griffin, teenage boy Maxwell attempted to preserve his identity in a world where conformity was the only way to survive. He says, “Living with hope is like rubbing up against a cheese grater. It keeps taking slices off you until there’s so little left you just crumble” (Austen 262). Max watched his friends lose their identity one by one, even his own sister. In the time of loneliness and worries, Max felt that pandering to the majority was a mistake. He decided to show his authenticity by making art that

“There are too many people, and too few human beings.” (Robert Zend) Even though there are many people on this planet, there are very few civilized people. Most of them are naturally savaged. In the book, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, boys are stranded on an island far away, with no connections to the adult world. These children, having no rules, or civilization, have their true nature exposed. Not surprisingly, these children’s nature happens to be savagery. Savagery can clearly be identified in humans when there are no rules, when the right situation arouses, and finally when there is no civilization around us.

Furthermore, success is so solo for Kate since seeking the higher education is almost the fateful dream of Morrison clan, from the Great-grand Mother Morrison to Kate’s parents. She works so hard to fulfill it after Matt “betrayed” it. However, by gradually involving in Daniel’s life and his family, Kate learns that the success what she believes in is not as satisfied as she expected before. The people who are successful in the common acceptable concept of success have many problems such as the disagreement between partners and academic dishonesty in their life. For example, Daniel’s parents always dispute with each other in front of other people, the colleague “conducted a highly unprofessional piece of research” (149). However, Daniel’s attitude towards this kind of situations sometime really astonishes Kate. Kate considers “Daniel is naive in some ways,”(149) and Daniel thinks Kate always take everything so seriously. The conflicts between the two lovers are the way to deal with people and the attitudes to life are so different. To make efforts of reconciling the conflicts, Kate feels painful. But this is the course of rediscovering and readjusting herself.

Spears fly past a fleeing boy, who is running for his life; wands flash bright colors for an unknown purpose.

Harry Potter is an eleven year old boy who is informed by a half-giant on his birthday that he is a wizard, whereupon he is whisked away to a school of magic called Hogwarts. At the end of his school year, he saves the powerful Sorcerer’s Stone from his nemesis, Voldemort, with his newfound friends Ron and Hermione. Harry transforms from an unsure little boy to one worthy of the scar he bears on his forehead, and becomes a trained wizard.
