African-American Girl Observation
On Monday, October 10th at 12:00 pm, I observed a one year old African- American girl. Upon entering the house I proceeded with my observation on D while she was running around the house naked, fighting her mother because she wanted to dress herself. When she was finally dressed, she made her way to the living room, I introduced myself to her and she waved back to me. I noticed that whenever D’s sister gets home from school, she would complete her homework, then grab a book while she sit on the sofa and begins to read. D climbed the sofa and sat right next to her while she read a book call “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss. Every time, she read a new page D repeat what she says as she point at the pictures and changing to the next

    Examples Of Dialectical Journal For The Great Gatsby

    Mommy was, by her own definition, “light-skinned” a statement which I had initially accepted as fact but at some point later decided was not true. My best friend Billy Smith’s mother was as light as Mommy and had red hair to boot, but there was no doubt in my mind that Billy’s mother was black and my mother was not. There was something inside me, an ache I had, like a constant itch that got bigger and bigger as I grew that told me. It was in my blood, you might say, and however the notion got there, it bothered me greatly. Yet Mommy refused to acknowledge her whiteness.”…

    Awkward Black Girl Analysis

    Issa Rae has always been an awkward girl; she’s always worn the wrong pants, kissed the wrong boy, and felt the wrong way, or simply been the wrong girl. The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a dazzling collection of essay about growing up learning to love the things in your life that makes it unique, even when those things also make it mighty awkward. She writes about being a black girl who just cannot dance, about being unhappy working in cubicle as her web series was taking off, about not arriving at a personal fashion sense, about honest, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny and of course arrestingly awkward. One of the best books I ever read was “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl” written by Issa Rae; it is the best because it tackles subjects like the misadventures of the internet, her being black and growing up watching television.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Miracle Brown

    It was a casual August afternoon in Minneapolis, people walking the down the sidewalk, strangers passing by. We were visiting my old hometown. I was walking with Beth, and we were messing around. I used to have an inside joke with one of my friends from fifth grade, “Girl you need to chill.” It stuck once I moved. Anyway, Beth had just told me to chill, so, I walked into the nearest cold building. Which of course, ended up being a meat locker… 15 minutes later I was coming out and saw an all too familiar pair of square glasses. Before I could see her face, she turned away. Her bleached tip hair swung across her shoulders. The dark skin, the hair and glasses, it had to be Miracle Brown. This is the girl who was one of my best friends in sixth grade. She started heading down the street, so I told Beth to meet me back at our hotel.…

    The Day Beyonce Turned Black Analysis

    With SNL displaying Juvenalian satire throughout their comical skit “The Day Beyonce Turned Black” helped portray a horrific perception on black lives matter. Beyonce attracted attention towards the “Black Lives Matter Movement” through her song “Formation” which points out her background. Likewise, “Black Lives Matter Movement” refers to the violence and discrimination against black lives, and Beyonce genuinely wanted to express where she actually comes from. For example, the opening lines state “For white people, it was just another great week, they never saw it coming. They had no warning. The day before the Super Bowl it happened.” Eventually, SNL goes on to show the exaggerated reactions of the white Americans when they realized that Beyonce…

    What Its Like to Be a Black Girl

    Everyone has an opinion of whether something is right or wrong. While one might think that something is wrong the other might think that it’s right. Lenn E. Goodman argued that certain things like slavery, polygamy, incest and rape are just plain wrong. “What I want to do here is single out a few areas where I think human deserts are irrefragable-not because these deserts are never questioned or breached in practice, but because they never should be (Goodman, 2010).”…

    Personal Narrative: How Daycare Changed My Life

    I suddenly felt that it hadn’t been Mr. Clifton; maybe it had been someone else. When I picked my daughter up that afternoon I began to try and talk to her. Before I could bring up anything of that matter, her mouth began to pour critical details. She began to talk about one of the high school aids at the daycare, Sean. She discussed how Sean was “the coolest” and that he would give the kids prizes. I began asking what the prizes were for. Amelia had said that Sean would give those prizes if they would do certain things that would please Sean and if they wouldn’t tell…

    African American Culture Research Paper

    When I came to the United States in 2010, I was teased for being African not by white students but by black Americans; they were always trying to play with my intelligence. Many African Americans are ignorant about African immigrants; they think we want to kill them so that we can eat them. I remember back in high school, a black student once asked me if I had seen a Lion or a Tiger. I told her, “Yes, we all lived together in our tree house.” In Africa, we admire the American struggle for civil rights, but when some of us came to America and discovered that black is not so beautiful, we insist on maintaining a separate identity. African immigrants and African Americans have shared complexion, but their cultures are diverse because of food tradition,…

    Advice to a Black Schoolgirl

    INTRODUCTION: The Progressive age lasted from 1890s all the way to the 1920’s. The progressive age is a time of great depression and great hardship. During this time there was a lot of discrimination towards people of different races and low rights for women. There were promises made for the African Americans by the president, those promises were broke. With the writing during the progressive age is very enlightening due to the fact of the matter it is all about the wanting and needing of rights towards women and towards African Americans. Progressive Age is all about getting towards a better life style and becoming equal for everyone. A lot of changes have been made since the progressive age such as greater equality for African Americans and women both, also there is a lot more freedom for everyone. Many of the readings in “The American Reader: Words That Move a Nation” by Diane Ravitch, Progressive Age segment paints a picture of how life use to be back many years ago. W.E. B. Du Bois wrote a very enlightening letter directed towards an African American girl about furthering her education called “Advise to a Schoolgirl” (378). This letter can paint a picture of how scared African Americans are because of all of the prejudice towards them.…

    Black Girls Research Paper

    At a young age some of us are introduced to the innocence of a crush. The fluttering sensation of butterflies in the pit of ones stomach. The awareness of the sheer joy that being near said 'person of interest'. In addition to this experience, some can also relate in their fair share of embarrassing encounters with their crushes. In particular my mind drifts to a memory that sticks out like a sore thumb, one found in my years in middle school. My crush was very obvious, even I was slightly aware of such. I was beginning to predict that he in particular also knew I had my eyes on him. Although I had ensured rejection as the baseline for where my expectation…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Filipino American Man

    Last December, before my nephew Elton, winter’s break began, I called my sister to see if her son could spend his winter break with us in Sacramento. With excitement in her voice, she readily agreed to allow Elton to come and promised to tell him when she picked him up after school. A couple of hours later, I was focused typing on my laptop when I was startled by the sound of my phone ringing. I quickly glanced down at the phone to see that it was my sister calling. I was greeting by a high pitched voice saying, “Hello, Tita Joanne?” It was my nephew on the other end of the line. The excitement in his voice was undeniable. Elton continued, “Yes Tita Joanne! I would love to visit you guys on my winter break!”…
