Once Upon a Time by GABRIEL OKARA Once upon a time‚ son‚ they used to laugh with their hearts and laugh with their eyes: but now they only laugh with their teeth‚ while their ice-block-cold eyes search behind my shadow. There was a time indeed they used to shake hands with their hearts: but that’s gone‚ son.

I think DuBois meant when he refers to the “strange meaning of being Black” is all the things that Black people had to go through beginning with slavery. He means that being Black is looked at as being bad or strange by Whites. He talks about how slavery had made Blacks inferior to Whites‚ which made them treat us like we are not human beings.

Woodward’s novel “The Strange Career of Jim Crow” was simply a book about racism. Other critics also attack his style of writing in this very popular novel. However‚ I believe that Woodward’s novel is not just a book about racism. It is a book about history. I believe it is a book about race relations‚ not racism. Woodward shatters the stereotypical view of segregation through chronicling the history of America from reconstruction through the late 1960’s. The Strange Career of Jim Crow is

n Annie Dillard’s book of Pilgrim of Tinker Creek presents many examples of our natural world in repulsive‚ horrifying‚ beautiful and wonderful ways. When you think of horrifying‚ you think of disgusting‚ odd and far off events that turn you away from situations that are similar. These situations could put a very dark and gruesome picture into your mind such as this one that Annie Dillard experienced. She explains that “At the moment of some such horrible banquet‚ I have seen the Wasp‚ with her
