Mr. Payne’s testimony contrasted all the points that Ann Eggley and Patience Kershaw made in their testimonies. Payne first said that children started work at age 8, yet Eggley began work at age 7. Payne said that the children worked for 6-7 hours per day, yet Eggley worked 12 hours constantly, starting at 4am; except on Saturdays. Kershaw worked 12 hours also, starting at 5am.

It is evident that there are still a number of falsehoods that contribute to the adversity many people of color have to overcome in this country. Yale Law School professor, Harlon L. Dalton and Sociologists Naomi Gerstal and Natalia Sarkisian dissect two such falsehoods in their respective essays. In his essay, “Horatio Alger” Dalton takes on the rags-to-riches myth commonly portrayed in Horatio Alger’s works of fiction. Likewise, Gerstal and Sarkisian’s study on Black, White, and Latino families reveals data that debunks the widely held belief that families of color are weaker and more disorganized than their white counterparts. While both essays examine myths that negatively affect Black and Latino people, the authors often use different

Just Walk on By,” is an article written by Brent Staples and published in Ms Magazine to convey Staples viewpoint and personal experiences as a black man being stereotyped by society. He tells several stories of times where people made assumptions of him solely based on his skin color. He chose to publish his article in Ms Magazine, in hopes that the women who read the magazine would be able to relate to it, because just as black men struggle with stereotyping, women in many ways wrestle with the same issue. Staples begins his article by sharing a personal story of the first time he became aware of the stereotype he was categorized into. He tells us about the fear he witnessed when for the first time, he unintentionally scared a woman away with just his presence. He was a young, 22 year old black male studying at the University of Chicago when she came across him late one evening in an alley and began to pick up her pace, until she finally ran away. He could tell the young woman assumed he was some sort of criminal, but he goes on to defend himself by stating that he was suffering from insomnia, not out looking for prey. He also says that he is ‘a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to raw chicken,’ (Staples 357).letting us know that he isn’t even remotely close to being violent. Later, Staples moves to New York where he continues to suffer from this generalization. In New York, he sees women often hunched over with their bags held tightly across them as they rush to get to their destinations. It’s clear that Staples feels as though all black men are being classified into a single negative category, but he admits that he can understand why these women feel threatened. Despite his understanding, he admits that it brings him no comfort, and instead only makes him feel like an outcast. Through Brent Staples life experiences, you can’t help but sympathize with him. Regardless of who you are, it’s an obvious and apparent issue, not only for black men, but for every race and every gender. I agree with Brent Staples that discrimination and stereotyping is an important issue in our

In my opinion, the non-fiction essay, "Just Walk on By", authored by Brent Staples is one which caught my attention and I was able to connect to the real world around me. For instance, a similarity is the prejudice faced by Brent Staples to another victim from the essay, "The Skin I'm In", written by Desmond Cole. In this essay, the victim encounters a white woman on a late evening and she is described to have , "cast back a worried glance... within seconds she disappeared into a cross street." (Staples 1) The significance is that the woman felt insecure around the black man and felt the potential threat for rape or theft even though it was unnecessary.

At the age of six, his father, a foreman on the electrical highline in Washington suffered injuries from a fall on the job that resulted in his death. As a result, Barker found himself growing up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota where his mother taught school until he was in eighth grade. After remarrying, Matilda and her son moved with her husband to Springfield, Missouri where her second child, Bob’s half-brother, Kent Valandra, was born (“Bob Barker”).

World War 1 Was world war one worth the death of thirty seven million people? There was not just one cause of world war one, there were many. But the assassination of of Austria Hungary’s archduke triggered the war. Europe had always been a grenade, waiting to go off, and it eventually did.

Mr. Roboto and Turn, Turn, Turn are both marching band songs. Mr. Roboto I heard because I heard it on the radio and looked up the song. Unlike Mr. Roboto, I had never heard Turn, Turn, Turn was a song I was hearing for the first time. I liked how the song was worded because even for a slow melody it had a lot of meaning.

What constitutes a male today is very different than what would account for a male fifty years ago. World War II recruiting advertisements sympathize notions of service and bravery, which are embodied in Pollack’s “Give ‘em Hell” (Gosse, 2015) persona. This persona exeplifies machoisms, violence and risk taking. Recently, Buzzfeed Videos asked men and boys aged 5 to 50 to respond to what the phrase “be a man” means to them. Many commented on identity markers involving perceived notions including strength, determination, honesty and responsibility.

At 2:17, age 35 muses about the implied assumptions of definition of male in the statement, “There is no real definition
