Temptations come in many different shapes, sizes, and forms. Giving into these temptations can have a lasting effect on the human mind. In The Man in the Black Suit, Stephen King used multiple literary devices to support his central idea, that once a man turns away from good and journeys into evil, that man will forever be impacted. Kings story started with an old man in a nursing home writing a journal about his childhood encounter with the Devil. The old man, Gary, began his story by going back to the summer of 1914. One afternoon, nine year old Gary went out fishing after he completed his chores. Before he left, Garys parents avidly made him promise not to go too far into the woods, and not beyond where the water splits. (King 782). Gary…

One can gain knowledge in order to break free of the power structures of oppression. In “THE BOOK OF NEGROES”, Lawrence Hill illustrates the theme of knowledge and power through the use of tropology and structure. Knowledge has power and it controls the access to opportunity and progression. Today we have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to the entire world’s information, however back then people had to strive to get knowledge. Knowledge itself is power. In the book of Negroes, the protagonist used this power in a right way, which led her to achieve success and ambition in life.…
“The Book of Negroes is a master piece, daring and impressive in its geographic, historical and human reach, convincing in its narrative art and detail, necessary for imagining the real beyond the traces left by history.” I completely agree with The Globe and Mail’s interpretation of this story. One could almost see the desolate conditions of the slave boats and feel the pain of every person brought into slavery. Lawrence Hill created a compelling story that depicts the hard ships, emotional turmoil and bravery when he wrote The Book of Negroes.…
The main way white southerners attempted to limit the freedom of former black slaves was through the use of Black Codes. The Black Codes were the white southerners way to keep African American in legal bondage as second class citizens. The laws were created after the Civil War mainly to keep African Americans as indentured servants. Black Codes controlled almost all aspects of life, and prohibited African Americans from the freedoms that had been won. While new laws prevented the owning of slaves they found a way to through legal loopholes to guarantee that blacks would serve as their laborers. Although the laws varied from state to state, the main goal of the laws were the same, keep African Americans in invisible chains. Codes regulated civil…

It started with a headache. Then chills and fever, which left him/her exhausted and reduced to extreme weakness. They likely experienced nausea, vomiting, back pain, soreness in their arms and legs. Perhaps intense light was too bright to stand. Within a day or two, the swellings appeared. They were hard, painful, burning lumps on their neck, under their arms, on their inner thighs. Soon they turned black, split open, and began to ooze pus and blood. They may have grown to the size of an orange. These are the symptoms of the Black Death, one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague, and during those dark times, it is estimated to have killed 30% – 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. It is normal for anyone to wonder where it came from, where could such a deadly, sweeping pandemic originate and reach Europe? The questions are answered if you read on……
The period between the 17th and 18th century is most memorable for the abolition of the Civil War. At this time, most African Americans were able to access the American society in many ways. They were able to acquire property after freedom was granted to them constitutionally. However, some parts of the south still exercised slavery which was legal. Most of the free African-Americans moved to the North where the prevalence of slavery was less. The African Americans who were freed contributed significantly to the national building in terms of infrastructural repair and construction of roads, cities and, canals.…
