Why I Hate Reading?

I really enjoyed the book because I love reading very interesting and right at the

Overall, this book is a really deep thinking book, I haven't fully understand what the author is trying to teach us, but I love this process of stretching my

I hate writing. It is one of the simplest task because it is like talking but it creates so much stress for myself. I would rather be pulling all the hairs off my body strand by strand then sit down and write. Even the thought of having to sit down and write makes my stomach tense. It is not like I am hiding behind the fact that I hate writing to avoid doing this assignment. This assignment is one of the easiest prompts that I have been given in my educational career but I have such a high expectation that my writing must be a “perfect”. My writing must be wonderful, flawless, and beautiful. When my writing is best compared to a pile of garbage. The comparison might seem extreme but its sadly true.

Another key aspect of Wheatley’s persona is the pride she has in the color of her skin. She embraces the fact that she is African; in fact, she longed to return to her “pagan land” to help lift the veil of ignorance from it. ("Africa" 420). Taking on the voice of a white person, Wheatley states, ‘Their color is a diabolical dye.’ ("Africa"420). Following a generally accepted excuse for slavery, Blacks originated from Cain when God marked him for murdering Abel. She continues, “Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,/ may be refined and join the angelic train.” ("Africa"421). Here, Wheatley levels the playing field; God offers everyone the same salvation regardless of any pre-existing conditions. Wheatley may even be going a step further, even though it appears she is telling Christians that Negroes can be cleansed by the blood of Christ. She may also be

The college textbooks always suggest in order to write a good article there are several stages and several points that you should take and consider. For example before you start writing, first you have to brainstorm ideas, take notes, and make outlines. After getting everything in order, you have to decide what kind of article you are writing: a comparison and contrast writing, a cause and effect writing, or etc. Then you have to think of a good thesis statement, subtopic statements, introduction and conclusions, central paragraphs, and many more. Finally you have to worry about having sentence variety, not to use passive voice, not to have run on sentences, not to use too much ‘is’ and ‘and’. I do not know about

The picture of Jesus as a black man alone is a concept that already conveys a message that black people are as loving and caring as any other race; however, that is just as a concept. This image also contains the black portrayal of Jesus holding a baby lamb and surrounded by other lambs. This gives him a sense of a nurturing and caring individual

I really liked the book at first I was not really that interested in the book. I didn’t want to read it. At the beginning of the book I didn’t really care about the brain and the book didn’t really get me hooked in the first chapter I. I liked how he used stories from his life but it was confusing because he was using different names. Another thing is sometimes I feel like the stories really didn’t need to be added. He really knew what he was talking about and some of the facts I found to be really interesting. I enjoyed throughout the book he had exercises for us to do. For instance, he asks us how your mind speaks to you. In the exercise he wants us to understand how our minds speak to us mainly in times of discomfort. He asks us to recall an unpleasant situation. He said think about it as if our minds are protesting. He tells us to choose a time when we felt nervous or concerned. He has us think about our surroundings and the people. He tells us to recall the actions

In accordance with the text, white people at the beginning of the 17th century, viewed racial difference as less important than the reasons for service. The power of the white man in keeping Blacks, Indians, and other races separate from white people begs the question: What part of human nature incudes a definition of race and a separation based on race? Human race is a debate that shows no sign of being resolved. The more that we know of the genetics of human differences, ironically, the more fractious the debate seems to get, and the more entrenched the various positions seem to be of skin color. The reality remains alive, so will profound differences in black and white Americans understand the nations past, present, and future.

But, I can tell you how reading this book made me feel. I was restlessly waiting for more, completely mesmerized, and extremely disoriented – which, in turn, only made me crave more and more of a limited page count. It sort of reminded me of reading Brave New World in the sense that, after reading it, I still had no clue what had happened but at the same time knew exactly what was going down. This book baffled me so completely that, even while writing this review, I am still struggling to pull apart what was real and what was

Tilley explains the “race question” associated with in British Africa. “... science has told us that the five Races, white, black, brown, yellow, and red, differ only in the color of their

In order to properly understand colourism, it is important to know where it came from. For comparisons sake, racism can be thought of as a cousin to colourism, as both of these issues can be traced back to slavery. European and American slave owners were Christian and believed in the Abrahamic God, as well as followed the bible. These slave owners utilized the bible and God to justify the enslavement of African people. They were particularly fond of the Talmudic accounts of Genesis which stated that Ham’s descendants were cursed by God to “be born ugly and black”(Genesis 9:27).

When reading chapter 1 the thing I found most interesting was the abundance of people who argue that Egyptians were white. I’m more confused than I am surprised. This is typical of white people. Whenever the people of a region are savage,violent, and impoverished there is no doubt that they are black or brown. With that being said, when a civilization located in a predominantly black part of the world has brought forth advancements in geometry, architecture, art and science all of sudden…we’re not sure? I may be overthinking this but it appears to me that even the most highly educated people in the world on the subject matter of history still can not come to terms with the fact that black people that lived thousands of years ago accomplished

Living in a nation today where people of my own skin color are being discriminated against is a hard fact to grasp. Personally, by the grace of God, I have never encountered a situation where the color of my skin has been a problem. This does not deny the fact there is this problem out in the world. Discrimination can be in many forms race, gender, national origin, religion, disability, and even age. These many forms of discrimination would cause a division in our nation. Now the church has tried to find ways to mend this division that is created between people. In Paul’s letters to the Ephesians he addresses this issue.

God wrote the bible, white folks had nothing to do with it. How come he look just like them, then? She say. Only bigger? And a heap more hair. How come the bible just like everything else they make, all about them doing one thing and another, and all the colored folks doing is gitting cursed (Walker 96)?

A year later, when I started to really get into reading, I decided to read it again and to my surprise enjoyed the mystery part of it. Then, I picked it up again last year when I was 16, the “age of discovery” as I read somewhere, and I found myself understanding and somewhat agreeing to the book. I learned that things are not always black and white, there’s a gray area too. I learned that I only hated it the first time I read because every does. And that’s why I consider it a classic literature. Every time I read it, I learn something new about myself now and about myself
