list goes on. It is relatively easy to voice opinions on rights. Most of us could pull our phones out rights now, post a status on the matter and would never face any backlash for what we just posted. It was not always that easy. Early America was dominated by white men and anyone who did not fit the requirements had little voice on any subject matter. So image a black woman speaking out against civil wrongdoings in the mid 1800’s when slavery and black oppression was still very much alive. Today

Hurston uses a variety of devices to help portray the world of her characters, the most obvious being her use of dialect.

Giving each character their own dialect also helps the reader differentiate between characters based on who’s talking

to the Internet more than we value the air we breathe every day. Trees are the one thing that help us survive and people view them as trivial objects more and more each day, underestimating the fact that our destruction of them could lead to a destruction of us. The leaves of trees can come in all different shapes and sizes. They form in bunches and give a sense of hair to the tree, adding a way to differentiate one tree from another. With the leaves, trees give us beauty. There’s not a prettier

What does it mean to be human? Is it how we look? Our intelligence? Our minds in general? All of these are true in some sort of way, in both negative and positive ways. However, African Americans were thought of as different in all of those ways, and not for the positive reasons. A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest J. Gaines, is set in a small Cajun community in the late 1940’s. In this book, a man by the name of Jefferson is wrongfully convicted for murder, and a teacher, named Grant, is forced to
