What role did World War II play in the fight for black civil rights?

What role did World War II play in the fight for black civil rights?

even after gaining rights to vote in the 1800s the outrage of equality from African Americans called the government to accommodate the rights of black Americans again in 1965

The movement into reconstruction gave the government a chance to make up for or come close to helping out African Americans after having them at the tailbone of slavery for many years. This was not the case, however, people took this as a chance to further neglect and abuse Black people.

metaphore

no way they took the apple out of her mouth so she could live !?

even dead she looked beautiful and alive, burying her somewhere to be seen allows for someone to be able to come across and save her.

hyperbole, because this lady is dramatic

comb with poison and after the second time she was tricked again

the queen suffocated her?

metaphore

metaphor

this part of the text is a part of imagery literary devices

Noah was with the ark

Job was too choose from God and Satan when he proved loyal he still was punished but later given better than he had.

Jonah was told to tell people to mend their ways, when he could not he got swallowed by a fish

my mom also sent us to private school in hopes of us turning out "good"

In some way the world was correct of God's image

This is sad that she was finally coming to a good space with her work when God took her from it.

I couldn't understand her anger, maybe for once I'd feel less anxious with emptiness around me

This was a very strong line. This single line moved me in some way. Knowing that God here's her confusion and hurt and he reassures her she's going to be okay she's with him

powerful to say the least this story shows how upper-class can gentrify a majorities town and take them out with it.

the author believes that upper-class Berkely students would whitewash Oakland.

this is a bit exaggerated but I can see how the drama tells the story

the author cristizes those who interest in Berkeley without accounting Oakland, since Berkley is an upper-class version of its neighboring lower-class town of Oakland. while people love to say they are from around there they wouldn't dare go to Oakland

this statement can mean that there is not as serious accusations as when it comes to black people

This is a powerful statement that resembles the lost lives in the black community that are taken too often

The author makes a good point of how dysfunctional Americas laws are.

the author believes he needs to search for a better God, since his people that sing in the choir die too often.

Maybe the author told people something the person did while the other person told another story.

maybe the author saw themself as a doll to be played with or someone who was played with more than cared for

the author went through something with someone that was traumatizing, he had realized that the person who did it may not be the problem but what they did was.

they left candles on unattended

seems mysterious like a cult ritual

giving cult

Seems like they are hiding for some apocalyptical being

Burned grass?

Stalker?

Annual story that is told, reminds me of a campfire get together

she is good even though she has been through so much bad, she just had to get something to remind her that she is still beautiful within.

her daughter gives her hope since she thinks she's come from so much bad, and now her daughter shows her how smart she can go about the world because the author has taught her

She sees her daughter as a vision where she can start over, and finally see's life again.

She refers to possibly a regret of how many people she's gone out of her way for that were not good for her in the end

She pictures herself a beautiful flower on such a harmful environment where bats, a scary creature, come seeking it's sweet nectar.

This is very powerful, the author goes back to a time trying to remember a time when she was growing up to be a kid and not seeking the validation of men.

The daughter takes a bad memory of the authors past and turns it into something beautiful like a crown, or a gift of seeing the daughter grow up

a long-forgotten memory the author was not about to ready to remember.

the daughters innocence

the author possibly sees her young self through her daughter

Maybe the author wants to forget the trauma she endured because of the man hence "unlearn."

The man never knew how to correctly treat a woman as well as understand basic forms of consent

This can mean the author finally learned the man had been confronted with what he has done to her and possibly changed?

This insinuates tht she had a decent breakup while another man scarred her and traumatized the way she look at men after raping her.

possibly talking about cellulite and the large veins women or men get with age

She could be explaining the arousal of bitemarks from what men have given her in her past.

This quote can mean that she has let men pick and look through her body. This can correlate with her being different around her daughter as she is with men.

The author must feel consumed with guilt, shame, even anger, as most rape victims do.
