Brief Summary: Mansa Musa
Mansa Musa was a well known man. He was ruler of Mali, born into the position, and did his job well. Musa kept Mali well organized and rich- within the kingdom’s boundaries was a gold mine stuffed with valuables, which were guarded carefully. Musa may have gotten a bit caught up with with his riches, though- on his many travels, Mansa Musa gave gold nuggets to the elders of every village, along with any people of importance. Usually by the end of his trip, Musa would be out of money, so he would ask to borrow some from fellow kings. They trusted him and gave him money, and once home, Mansa payed them back far more than they had given. Everyone loved Mansa Musa.

    Farewell to Manzanar is the story of a young Japanese girl who spends part of her childhood in a barbed wire camp trying to live a normal life. This book demonstrates how Jeanne Wakatsuki and her family fought to make it thought this harsh period of time at camp Manzanar. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, president Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave power to the war department to declare which people were possible risks to the United States. “FBI deputies had been questioning everyone, ransacking houses for anything that could conceivably be used for signaling planes or ships or that indicated loyalty to the Emperor” (What is Pearl Harbor? p.7). The command given by president Roosevelt indicated the removal of Japanese dwelling on the west coast and placing them on captivity camps while the war lasted. Jeanne Wakatsuki and her family were one of the many families who were relocated to this camp named Manzanar. Unfortunately Papa was arrested for being accused…

    Farewell To Manzanar Research Paper

    After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, ordering all Japanese American citizens to be put into internment camps while on the other side of the Pacific, Japanese soldiers would soon capture and imprison American soldiers into POW camps. The American’s Japanese internment camps and The Japanese POW camps were both terrible conditions for a world at war, but the conditions and the lasting effects on the prisoners were starkly different. The books Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand show the stories of the Wakatsuki family in America’s Japanese internment camp Manzanar and Louie Zamperini in the Japanese POW camps (despite Zamperini being sent to multiple camps, Naoetsu…

    Mansa Musa used his trade routes for religious venture. Cortes and the conquistadors were highly trained diplomatic soldiers who were assigned the task of introducing the Aztecs to Christianity and a new civilized way of life with the goal of making a more stable native populations in Mexico. Mansa Musa did not require people to be a muslim but he still practiced African religions. He still gave alms and was a generous god. Citizens were to give alms because god loves charitable and nothing they gave would make they feel fear or regret. God is always aware of whatever good they do and of all the offerings made, (document D). Mansa Musa used 12,000 personal servants and had 1,000 camels which shows the religion that Mansa Musa had. Also, they had 24,000 pounds of gold that could be used for alms giving and gifts. This shows the religion he used because alms given was part of the religion, (document A).…

    farewell to manzanar

    In the morning of December 7, 1941, Jeanne Wakatsuki has to say goodbye to her father’s sardine ship at San Pedro Harbor in California, but when the boat returns sardines are not all it brings back. News that Japanese soldiers have bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. As a result to this George, Jeanne’s father, burns all his Japanese belongings like the Japanese flag and his identity papers. Unfortunately George is still arrested by the FBI because of his nationality. Rigu, Jeanne’s mother, moves the family to a Japanese ghetto on Terminal Island, but hen moves to Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. In February 1942, President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 gives the military the authority to move things they see as a threat national security. People that are Japanese or are of Japanese descent in America can only expect their final destination. About a month later, the government tells the Wakatsuki family that they have to move in the desert 225 miles northeast of Los Angeles to a place called Manzanar Relocation Center. Arriving to Manzanar, the Japanese Americans find themselves forced to live in overcrowded living conditions, poorly prepared food, incomplete barracks, and dust that blows in every crack and knothole in the buildings. Since there is also not enough warm clothing to go around, many people become ill from immunizations and poorly conserved food. Not only that but they also have to face the indignity of the disgusting camp toilets, an offense that mainly affects Rigu. The family slowly begin to drift apart, starting by them not eating as a family anymore. Since being deserted by her family, Jeanne takes a sudden interest in the other people I the camp and even begins studying religious questions with a coupe of nuns. But when Jeanne has a sunstroke while imaging herself as a suffering saint, George instructs her to stop. About a year later George has returned from Fort Lincoln detention camp after being arrested. The family runs into a problem, they do not…

    Dancing Skeletons: Life and Death in West Africa

    Economics plays a huge role in the villages and cities of Mali. When Dettwyler returned to Bamako, six years after her first visit, she explains that Bamako, even though it’s in the same country, differs substantially from a village outside of Bamako named Magnambougou. The people of Bamako (close to a million people) live in traditional mud huts along the bluffs and banks of the Niger River (Dettwyler 1994: 18), whereas the people of Magnambougou live in “compounds” along dirt paths surrounding the community center. These compounds are made of mud bricks and topped with corrugated iron roofs. A misconception that Americans tend to think is these types of housing automatically makes a third-world country and that they are poor; it is…

    Essay On Sundiata

    Sundiata: An Old Epic of Mali is a verbal tale of the conquest and history of one of Mali’s great rulers- Sundiata, whose mother’s life I argue served as a premonition of how Sundiata’s destiny would play out. Early in the story we learn of the Maghan Kon Fatta and how his greatness as a natural ruler spread superseded his own realm of dominion into the neighboring cities. Sundiata in his own life has always had the blessing of seeing both sides of any situation. In the Sundiata’s parents, he was given the opportunity to help his mother fulfill her life’s mission to raise a king, however only after we learned how earlier on in the story, Sundiata brought shame to his mother, embarrassment so deep that she felt she would never be able to overcome.…

    Humans cannot develop successfully without their personal ideology. Everyone's ideology, worldview and background is different and cannot be compared. If everyone had the same ideology, background and the understanding of the life, the world would have not been the same as today. Diversity and tolerance stands behind the modern world. Malala and Tamim are the greatest examples of tolerance and diversity. They have embraced many ideologies, values, traditions, and cultures. Being an open-minded and acceptable distinguishes them from the rest of the world. The most successful people are the ones that have liberal views to every ideology, culture, traditions and values.
