Coming of Age in Mississippi: The Struggle against Adversity “No one’s life is a smooth sail; we all come into stormy weather.” This statement has more truth to it than one may think. In life‚ everybody reaches a rough point‚ a point where the light at the end of the tunnel seems dim‚ or even nonexistent. But overcoming this adversity is what builds character. Accepting and prevailing over life’s obstacles are what separate strong‚ independent-minded and forward-thinking people from those who give

be a place of extreme racism and increasing violence‚ the North appeared to be a bit more accommodating‚ although still not a true area of equality. This difference can be seen in two literary works‚ Anne Moody’s autobiography‚ Coming of Age in Mississippi‚ and Nella Larsen’s novel‚ Passing.

I think Holbrook’s portrayal of Mark Twain was mostly effective‚ but other times not so much. In the text "Cub Pilot on the Mississippi River"‚ Mark Twain was a steamboat crew member. He was ordered by his captain whose name was Brown. Brown was very harsh with Twain‚ but he did what he was told. Twain finally had enough and killed Brown. He was approached by one of his crew members

It is almost like she is putting herself at a lower point than everyone else
