Both Liberia and Haiti are of unique origin‚ the world’s first independent black republics. Liberia was borne of slaves freed by emancipation‚ Haiti by revolt. But freedom did not ensure peace amid social inequity and exploitation. In Liberia‚ America’s former slaves lorded over indigenous tribes for over a century. Several coups later‚ in 1989 Liberia found itself at the

An analysis of the book‚ Lord of the Flies and Vice: Liberia shows how people judge others both consciously and subconsciously. People often make assumptions based upon their first impressions and appearances of others. In the book Lord of the Flies‚ Ralph immediately attempted to ditch Piggy because of Piggy’s

The short story Fireweed‚ written by Skye Brannon in 2009‚ is a story about a young man named Baluta whose family was killed back in Liberia. I believe the story takes place around 1980-1990 (civil in Liberia) because we hear about the soldiers killing his family and his father also mentions a war coming. The story takes place in America where Joel‚ which is the name he goes by in America‚ also lives. Baluta is a carpenter but is having a difficult time finding jobs. He lives in the ghetto with

Fireweed Baluta and some of his family have moved from Liberia in Africa. It is properly a result of a war caused by “blood diamantes”. We are not told which country Baluta moved to‚ but it’s an English speaking country. Baluta speaks and understands English very well. That properly means he has lived there for a couple of years. He is earning his money by working as a carpenter. But that doesn’t make him a millionaire. As you already can sense in the start of the story‚ it’s showed by‚ they cannot
