    Over time, as the slaves grew more displeased with their lives, many decided to run away and escape to symbolize that they were unhappy. Others slowed down production by faking illnesses, breaking tools and other things such as accidently burning the barn and foot-dragging. An example of foot-dragging is that when a slave is ordered to bring a bush of cotton to their owner, the slave would purposely drag their feet and take their time, thus slowing down the process of production. Slaves would also “fix” their masters meals by adding a secret ingredient. An example of this is that when a slave is serving any meal in general, they would spit onto their owners’ food before placing it onto the dining table.…

    Explanation: In this poem, the speaker discusses how people will do anything just to get a story. In the midst of crisis and destruction, someone will always be trying to capture on the moment. In the poem the speaker discusses when President Kennedy was shot. Instead of describing it in a somber way, the speaker talks about how the media glorifies the event. The speaker also discusses how as a society we fail to recognize the unsung heroes. “A prince of battle is blown into bloodymeat. No headlines.” The speaker describes the death of a brave soldier during battle. Though his death was heroic no one will ever know the tale. This poem symbolizes the culture of our society and how we put emphasis in the wrong places. While we take the time to recognize celebrities and public icons for their deeds, we fail to give tribute to those who have sacrificed their life for our freedoms.…
