Americans, I could not believe what I was reading. “The Cases for Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates opened my eyes when it came to a topic of the individual and its surroundings. Racism being America’s original sin is visible in every form and shape. It is totally unbelievable that America being a country full of diversity has this dark side that a majority is ashamed to talk about. In the article “The Case for Reparations,” Ta-Nehisi Coates debates how the endless timeline of wrongdoings, both socially

Great post Lori and you did a good job explaining the STAAR test. Fortunately, I never had to take the TAKS or STAAR test, and I have heard it is quite the process for our youth. The Texas Education Agency (2017) lists the performance standards for the STAAR test performance. The levels are Advanced, Satisfactory, and Unsatisfactory. Per the chart included in the TEA report, it appears the numeric value for Math, English, and History increases over time. For example, the 2015-2016 standard for

The people of the Mal'ta - Buret' culture inhabited southeastern Siberia nearly 15,000-24,000 thousand years ago (1). The site, now known as the town of Mal'ta near Irkutsk, is located near the Belaya River. Archeologists discovered a young boy who was ceremonially buried under a slab of stone with bird-shaped ivory pendants, beaded jewelry, and stone tools (2). Their houses were primarily constructed from big game animals using bones for support and hides for insulation. They used large

Between the World and Me Between the World and Me by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates depicts himself writing a letter to his son describing what it is like to grow up in a black body. He tells of the hardships that he went through growing up and what he did to deal with them. Coates gives his opinions on how the word treats African Americans, and believes that the the country can never fully repay them. In another one of his works The Case for Reparations he says how after a discussion, people may discover

Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates, both deal with the alienation of a person or group of people. To be looked upon as somebody who does not fit into society, can cause people to feel remote and isolated. The negative impact of this isolation is not only damaging to the person but to society as a whole. This isolation, like in Coates’ modern day biography and Kafka’s dated book, is something people today experience in all walks of life and for many reasons. Ta-Nehisi Coates’ book, Between

Ta-Na-E-Ka by:Jarrett J and Logan D Since, Mary´s grandfather told Mary that she cheated she has to go back and redo the Ta-Na-E-Ka. She walked back in the woods and saw some food, it was a rabbit.

Innovation and creativity is what sets humans apart. To get where we are today, humans have created tools, ideas, stories, medicine, technology, and more that nobody has created before; and thus, they create a precedent for our society. The common phrase “What will they think of next?” is then asked, and shortly after the question is answered with another new, inspiring innovation. We have committees today like the Nobel Prize and The MacArthur Foundation that recognize innovators and role models

The recently awarded 2015 National Book Award for Nonfiction author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, has stirred quite some debate over the author himself and the issue on race in America. He is harsh and direct when it comes to commenting on the political policies in America or even the president. Much of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s works are affected by his life living in America as a black person. The violent and “fearsome” life he has lived became the only form of life he is acquainted to. As a result, he strongly

Ta-Nehisi Coates starts off this section of the book by explaining the history of blacks in America to his son during the Civil War era. He describes how essentially an entire war began over slavery. African American bodies were the richest resource in America at the time, even more than American industry, and thus, the valued resource was the main dispute and motive for the Civil War. Coates writes, “In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body- it is heritage” (103). The reason why blacks
