Thank You M Am Analysis

In the book “Thank You, Ma’am” Hughes sets the tone for how people are to be treated. Even though the book is not in public domain does not mean we cannot read parts of it and apply it to our lives now. In this short story book, he details an interaction of a young black child, Roger, who tries to steal a purse but is stopped. What he doesn’t know is the purse he will try to steal is that of a strong-willed lady, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. In the story, he depicts Roger as a dirty boy trying to survive on the streets. He must resort to stealing things to survive. When he encounters Mrs. Jones, she shows him some tough love “Then it will get washed this evening, said the large woman starting up the street, dragging the frightened boy behind her” [Thank You Ma’am]. This shows that even though he did wrong she still treated him with respect. Hughes was known for writing his short stories, poems, and Jazz music that had to do with African Americans and the racial issues that he faced. He was noted to be only a “few black authors to champion racial consciousness as a source of inspiration, and cautioned young writers to avoid racial chauvinism and virulent anger in their work toward whites.” He did not want society to write angrily with another race but simply embrace and love each other.

Hi Nyla, nice post! I agree with your comment, I think a person is more vulnerable when they’re experiencing distress verses when things are going well. I believe when things start to spiral when a person believes that it cannot happen to them and their in change of a situation. It often leads from being controlled to uncontrollable especially when pleasure is involved. A person may began as an occasional user or using in moderation. A person’s mind tricks them into believing that they may be able to handle their consumption or intake all the while forgetting that one may become many when dealing with pressures, escaping, having fun, or is septitable from family history traits of abuse. A person’s heart speaks values to intervene to them as

I am covering the article, “Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States by McCright and Dunlap (2011).

I enjoyed Anri Sala’s “Answer Me” at the New Museum. The art Sala created was able to use visual and sound as a way to relate to one another. Based on what I know of the time Sala is showing, many people died and there was change happening. Like Irene. I did find myself looking for wall text or explanation other than on the second floor. Some art pieces were striking, while some left me wondering what was the meaning behind it.

Not having a dad might not sound to bad to some people. When that dads always making fun of his kids, or making his kids mad, his children may not want a dad anymore. Doug Swieteck from the book Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt would feel like he doesn't need a dad. Not having a dad would sound good too Doug because the dad he knows acts like a real jerk to him.

In my “This I Believe” essay about stress I tried to use a combination of ethos and pathos as a way to appeal to my audience which happens to be college students Regarding ethos I used this rhetoric because anyone with morals will feel some sort of sympathy for someone who feeling is stressed or depressed therefore evoking emotion out of the audience. Not only that but I tried to promote positivity within my essay because only talking about the negative effects of stress would be counterproductive to the essay itself since it isn’t supposed to be preachy or negative so therefore I tried to incorporate some things that my audience could use to overcome stress such as going to counselors,friends,families, and their fraternity or sorority by

Technology of the past was welcomed with open arms due to the fact that a majority of the time it helped solve problems plaguing us such as providing us with medical cures or developing machines that are able to prepare a warm meal quicker. However, with such problems solved, a lot of technology today is centered around keeping our population with longer life expectancies entertained, especially with one major creation that has shifted the way that we live--the Internet.

Although Clive says that employees at Lifeline can never be sure if their call saves someone, Peter Ho Davies, author of “I Don’t Know, What Do You Think?” implies that Clive has the opportunity to save Mary from killing herself. However, he does not utilize this opportunity, and Mary commits suicide. The author indicates that Clive could have saved Mary's life if he disregarded his detached approach to issues established within him by the death of his child, his wife's discouragement, and the Lifeline procedures. Clive never confronts his feelings about Carol’s death, which suggests that he is incapable of managing grief. When Helen finds Clive crying over Mary’s death, he tells her that he is crying for Carol, and Helen says, “at last,” (Davies

Throughout the article “This Is What I Do,” the author Professor David Chioni Moore explains and evaluates the state of jazz and jazz criticism. Moore argues that although jazz experts use recordings to analyze so-called “works of art,” these recordings are not true representations of the artistic value of jazz music. He then explains that the only way to fully experience jazz in its most artistic form is through live performances. To support his argument, Moore first discloses that most jazz musicians did not give their best performances on recordings After stating this, Moore analyzes the impact copyright has on this phenomenon. Due to copyright laws, musicians did not receive money for the records that they sold, making them less inclined

Working as a general agency intern in the summer of 2013 at Zizzo provided my first glimpse into the real-time agency world.

In Langston Hughes short story “Thank You Ma’am” he uses different themes throughout the story. There is kindness, love, and trust, which is very ironic considering that young boy Roger did try to steal Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones purse at the beginning of this story. Even though he was trying to steal from her, she never called the police and she never judged him because no one should ever judge a book by its cover.
