    Myne Owne Ground Summary

    The first chapter in Myne Owne Ground describes the life of Anthony Johnson, who was sent to the Virginia colony around 1621 from Angola to serve as an indentured servant to Edward Bennett on the Bennett Plantation. It’s strange to call him an indentured servant, however there was no actual terminology to describe what a slave is until later in the court case between Anthony Johnson and Robert Parker over rights to a freed African slave whose name was John Casor. Mary, his later wife, arrived to the plantation year after the Indians attacked the Bennett plantation leaving only 12 alive, Anthony who was one. Anthony was fortunate to be with Mary and have kids because in this newfound colony, women were scarce. Johnson’s status of becoming free was clear but how and who freed him…

    Tyler Maher HN English 11 2 August 2014 On Hallowed Ground 1. The argument that Poole makes about the importance of honoring our men and women in uniform is that it is the least that we can do after they give their lives to make ours better. Poole believes that it is the government's responsibility to provide every family of a lost soldier the opportunity to have their loved ones body returned to them. Many people share the same views on this subject that Poole does and that is why the government spends so much money and manpower to obtain the bodies of these soldiers from the field.…

    Among The Hidden, By Margaret Peterson Haddix

    Maya Angelou once said, “Freedom is never free.” This is true because a person always has to pay some sort of price in order to be free, whether in a literal sense or not. In the book Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, Luke Garner is an illegal third child in a place where overpopulation forces the government to make unfair laws. Each family is allowed to have two children, so Luke envies his older brothers and cannot live his life the way he wants to. This is similar to in “Two Sisters, Two Americas,” by Brooke Ross, which tells the reader about an illegal immigrant named Veronica Saravia. Veronica came to the United States with her parents illegally when she was 4 years old. Her sister, Diana, was born in the United States. Diana…

    Minerva and the Muse- Margaret Fuller

    Margaret Fuller has only recently become a popular subject for biographical research, as it was not until long after her death that her works were published in their complete form. Editors of her letters were very disrespectful of the material, and heavily censored or altered it before publishing. Furthermore, fellow contemporaries Hawthorne, Emerson, and Alcott wrote a fictitious account of her that belittled and often ignored her virtues in place of her flaws. Due to her misrepresentation in literary circles, it is wise to look at biographical representations of the visionary feminist with a grain of salt. However, Joan von Mehren’s comprehensive biography Minerva and the Muse: A Life of Margaret Fuller is more than worthy to serve as the ideal representation of her due to its careful reports of the details of her life from birth to death and its exclusion of authorial bias towards or against Fuller.…

    Separation And Exclusion, By Mary Bibb

    I found your response very enjoyable. I agree with you in saying that Mary Bibb faced many biases due to her race and sex and support your statement in saying that “one’s identity should not restrict or deny them from any opportunities.” I thought it was important that you addressed the issue of separation and exclusion, as the society was disregarding her accomplishments and making her seem invaluable due to her skin tone, sex and gender. Black children were also excluded/denied access to common schools and Mary Bibb wanted to change this, making sure that children of any skin colour could receive an education. Even though schools now accept students of various cultures/backgrounds/races, I find that within the classroom and schools, judgement,…

    Ashes By Susan Pfeffer

    Susan Pfeffer’s story “Ashes” teaches a lesson about how trust is decided on past, not relationships. Ashleigh, “Ashes”, with divorced parents, talks about how when she is with her dad, the sun shines just a little bit brighter, but according to her mother, he is just an “irresponsible bum”. Ashes was a nickname her father gave her, which her mother hates. Ashes, says that her father hardly ever keeps a promise, such as when she was a kid, he told her that the stars were her necklace. One lesson the story suggests is that parent-child relationships can quickly change, depending on the choices they make.…

    Houseslave, By Harriet Jacobs

    Often, when discussing the enslavement of African Americans within American history, we hear the harrowing tales of beatings, chases, and field work which many of these slaves had to face. However, a very little-known perspective is of the houseslave. Due to their lighter skin-tones which placed them in the position, these slaves are often deemed as being the “better-off” of those than those of a darker tone. However, Harriet Jacobs provides a different perspective from this narrative. Jacobs describes the mental and sometimes physical abuse she suffered from her master, and how he granted her freedom for his own satisfactions.…

They went multiple times to the cemetery to play,until one day that Paul discovered a gold ring and Miranda found a screw head. Both Paul and Miranda traded what they had discovered in the cemetery and enjoyed what they had.Miranda wore the gold ring on her thumb; which fit perfectly on and Paul admired the screw with his eyes thinking that it would bring him peace. When the trading was official they both headed back home together. Days later Miranda saw an old lady, who reminded her of her own grandmother, and conversed with her. After Miranda finished her conversation with the old woman, her perspective about everything she knew or thought had changed that day.

Then he offered to let Miranda skin the rabbits, but she refused her…
