The day started like another spring morning there was thick dew on the surrounding meadows‚ there was a heavy fog on the distant mountains almost like the clouds had been fighting and one had fallen and lost.

He claimed that there is a racial mountain facing the black population and black artists need to overcome this mountain.

1.) Based on what I’ve learned about James Baldwin‚ I’d say he’s an optimist. James Baldwin has such a positive outlook on life and makes decisions knowing the risk factors‚ and anticipates a positive outcome. Based on his experiences‚ he is largely aware of the battle with identity‚ the adversity of being black in America‚ yet he unquestionably writes to expose these things to establish a path for individuals knowing the controversy behind it all. Baldwin’s writings’ were brutally truthful as it

The texts‚ “Undaunted Courage” and “The Way To Rainy Mountain” depict the land as a spiritual entity that’s worth being worshipped and respected as shown by man’s praise of it. The way man‚ rather than exploit it for profit‚ respects the land through animism shows their gratitude for it. From the detailed descriptions that give the reader an illustration of what man has seen‚ it is clear to say that man had this religious relationship again‚ but was also in tune with the lay of the land. In “Undaunted

teaching is incredible...and how do we treat them….with disrespect. Throughout the years I have seen how much disrespect the teachers get from students and from other teachers. It is hard to believe how rude people can be. In a school such as Rocky Mountain I have seen and heard a lot of disrespectful remarks. I have heard talking back and yelling at the teachers. I have seen students not doing work when asked multiple times to sit and just work. I was shocked to hear teachers speaking disrespectfully
