Life, a curveball of an experience that shifts and morphs for everyone depending on the type of person who is living that life. An interesting complex journey that well all travel on, it’s a journey that one can not possibly capture in its full beauty and scope not for a lack of trying of course. Humans make metaphors of life, books of life, theories of life, life is a never ending well of inspiration. That inspiration may be to reach one's full potential, to find another person to share life with, or even create life. Unfortunately for many a their goal in life is to survive. This segways us into our topic, I was assigned to analyze the three pieces of text, the text I chose were “The Lost Boys”, “Mother To Son”, and The Fifth One. Stories …show more content…
This brings us to “Mother To Son.” It’s a poem by Langston Hughes that comes from the perspective of a mother telling her son how she struggled, the moral being that if he doesn’t get up he will climb higher on the staircase of life. I doesn’t matter what your background is, rich, poor, middle class you should always aim to achieve. However this poem seems like it's from the perspective of someone who started relatively room, so for the sake of theme I’m going to look at those in poverty. No one ever chooses to be born into poverty, no ever chooses to get into poverty period. So again you reach that famous crossroads, the question being are you a Frost will you take the one less traveled by? It’s very easy to say that you are put where you belong from birth, but that’s never the case. A person's worth and ability is completely decided by the. Now obviously as the mother says is going to be a hard climb, the staircase is old, it has splinter, but as you get higher you will get use to the stairs. The moral of the poem is that one can never climb high enough, you can never reach your full potential. So instead of giving up why don’t you become the best person you can be. The mother informs the son that the climb is hard, but it’s a climb that anyone can make. The climb is only as hard as the first step, get …show more content…
It’s called “Saudi Arabia Freedom Rider’s.” It tells the story of women in Saudi Arabia protesting against the gender prejudice by driving cars which is not allowed by law for women. When a person is conceived they get no say in the process, you can’t choose your gender, sexuality, race, or anything in that vane. So the idea that because you were like this from birth that you don’t get to have certain rights is absurd. So this brings us to our next question do you accept this injustice, or do you look at those enforcing the rule and object to their stance. Well, the survivor's choice in this piece is to object. It’s our civil duty as humans to make sure that we are all equal. We are all the same, we all started the same as serm so the idea that one of us in better simply because of how we are from birth is a ludicrous idea. The unfortunate thing about it is that in every country there is prejudice, some people will always feel that they were created superior to someone. So it’s our job as reasonable people to try to change those people, and for the people who are hindered by the prejudice they have to try even harder to convince the group of prejudice people. They have to survive in the world of
