The Well Of Loneliness By Radclyffe Hall: An Analysis

Courage is when you are willing to do something above your comfort zone to show what you’re made of. In a novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Mildred D. Taylor uses an example of a young girl named Cassie Logan , who is colored, that must stand up for her convictions despite many injustices against her and her family. Cassie proves her courage by protecting her little brother Little Man from getting in big trouble, facing her white enemy Lillian Jean Simms, and being helpful to T.J despite his actions against her family. Cassie made many choices that proved her sassiness and how outspoken she was. She loved her family and had deep respect for the land they lived on. During a time period when the word “equality” meant nothing to those who surrounded her, Cassie shows those who see her actions that she is willing to face the many consequences that lie before her with standing up for her beliefs.

An additional theme heavily shown throughout the book is “people are defined by the choices they make”. Ben left his little sister, Sissy, to die, even though he could have made an effort to save her; because he left her, he now vows not to run from danger or those things which scare him. Furthermore, Cassie promises Sammy that she will find him and, because she makes that promise, she will stop at nothing to be with him again.

Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to, but it really takes courage to get through it. In the novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry by Mildred D. Taylor, Cassie Logan is a very sassy, outspoken eleven year old girl that, in my opinion, is the most courageous character throughout the novel. Some things that made Cassie courageous was that she stood up for Little Man, her little brother, at Great Faith Elementary School, stood up for her and Stacey, her older brother, at the mercantile, and she had to ‘grow up a little’ and apologize to her rival, Lillian Jean Simms. Cassie truly had to be courageous to get through the hard times.

Cassie Logan showed bravery by standing up for her brother, Little man in the classroom. Cassie has so much courage that she stands up for little man to her teacher. On page 26 Cassie states “See, Miz Crocker, see what it says. They give us these ole books when they don’t want ‘em no more.” This quote shows Cassie standing up for little man by showing her what little man was talking about. I like how in the book she stands up for her brother even though she gets in trouble.

Cassie proves her courage by standing up for herself against Lillian Jean Simms,also willing to fight whoever heart papa,and standing up for Little Man when he got switched.

Cassie Logan is a black, nine year old girl living in rural Mississippi. Throughout her life Cassie displays many different qualities, she can be feisty, sassy, and clever, but most of all she is courageous. This does not just mean she is plucky or tenacious, it means she is “brave and/or fearless” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Whenever she shows this quality, she stands up for herself, as well as others. Being courageous is so important simply because she is a black girl living in 1933. Racism was very common at that time, and standing up for yourself was the only way you would get respect. However, in some incidents described in the book, Cassie changed her life for the better and took one step closer towards a fairer world. There are three

Standing up for what you believe in isn’t always easy, but if you have the courage, you can do anything you put your mind to. Throughout the book, “Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry”, by Mildred D. Taylor, I feel that Cassie Logan showed the most courage. Even though she didn’t quite understand why her family was treated the way they were, she knew it wasn’t right. She showed courage when she stood up to Mr. Barnett, when she stood up to Miz Crocker because the “new books” were dirty, and also when she had to stand up to Lillian Jean. For a girl Cassie’s age, she had a deep respect for not only herself, but also the others around her.

Courage doesn't rely on the wealthy or the poor, it relies on the brave people's actions of the world. In the book, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Mildred Taylor introduces us to a young girl, named Cassie that wants to stand up for her beliefs even though there were many road blocks throughout this book. There are many ways that Cassie showed courage, but I chose three of her quotes. They were when Cassie stood with Little Man and helped him, she tried to stand up to Mr.Barnette, and she stood up to Lillian Jean Simms. Cassie´s actions proved that she wanted to make the racist part of her world, not really be there anymore, so she could have a fair life. She was sassy and very outspoken because she always stood up to white people and I think

Studies have shown that if people see negative or positive posts on social media websites such as: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, etc. checking to see if there is a different in their moods depending on the posts. There have been tests that have been put together as to measure the amount of loneliness that one might be going through at the time of taking the test. That will be used for part of the experiment. To test the effect of loneliness on the use of social media, I am going to be sending out a questionnaire from the UCLA which have four different options.

The two readings The Well of Loneliness and Anne Lister’s Diary are about lesbians in different periods in history. In the 1800s, non-normative identities were nonexistent, so Anne Lister felt unique and did not face any evident negativity.

During this time period whites and blacks were not equal, the whites thought they were better than the blacks.

On the other hand, Stephen Gordon’s period was exposed to homosexuality and had a negative view of it. Thus, leading to Stephen receiving negativity for her identity.

After reading many short stories and poems written by Edgar Allan Poe, I have come to conclusion that Poe’s sense of writing is gruesome and always ends in heart break. Throughout many of his writings, there almost always is an involvement of blood, hence the fact that all of his loved one’s deaths involved tuberculosis, which is known to be a bloody disease. Each story portrays the loneliness he felt and how many mental problems he truly had. Problems with gambling, alcohol, depression, anxiety, and most of all not being able to find the love he truly needed in order to have a happy life.

Being courageous means to stand up for someone or something and to be brave to stand up for the right thing. In Mildred Taylor’s book Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, she discusses the harsh reality of discrimination and courage to stand against it in the 1930s South. Cassie is the most courageous person in the book and I think this because she stood up for Little Man, she confronted Lillian Jean, and she said something to Mr.Barnett. She does this because she doesn’t think that it’s fair to be treated differently just because she is a different color than others.
