A difference is that in the video the ones who suffered where the white people and in the novel it was the black people.

I really do noot believe that the whites may have felt scared like the filmed made them look. I the way that the film made the black american look like wild crazy people is really cruel.

When I say that I am talking about the racism, and disrimination and such. All of these things that were happening to him and his people created adverse childhood experiences for him and that is what created who he is when he is older.

And because of that I feel more now that these things should be paid close attention to in a kids because we may never know what may be really happening and if it gets out of hand it can get a lot worse for the child.

I fell that is video is really important because there are many people that may be suffering from this and they do not know what to do and this is a good way to find help and understande the cause and what to do about the maladaptive coping mechanism. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:18:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151930 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151930 I would say that this video relates to the novel Native Son because it seems to me that like Crystal said Bigger may have this problem of all the bad emotions that Bigger was feel he took some risks and they were not good ones. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:14:29 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151910 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151910 The racial wealth gap is only one of the many thnings that were wrong and aare still happening today and I just think that it is something that is so impactfly in the sense that because of it some many lives have been ruined because of bad people in the world. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:00:38 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151902 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151902 The term caricature would be something that I would use in my discussion being it is something that is going to appear which is because there is always going to be people that are going to bring you down and try to bring what you did down and this word defines that action.

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:52:27 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151883 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151883 What I learned about this text to better understand Native Son and the whole situation in a whole is that there will laways be people that want to bring down what you do and not accept it and I would say that that is why Bigger Was afraid to try anything was becuase of the fact that he was not sure of what would happen, or of what people would do or say to him. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:50:04 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151847 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151847 I would first say that the only thing that really related to the novel Native Son like Aiyana said was the fact the writer talked about Bigger the way that the book does. But the difference is that the Author of this text said that the reason why Wright wrote the book was to make the white people feel bad, but I bellieve that Wright really made it to just express how he felt and and his interpetation of what was going on around him. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:46:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151843 After reading the information the was given I would say that this text is not credible. The main idea of the information that is given all comes from the opinions of one person. I did not see much or any fact based evidence to prove what is being said. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:40:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151793 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151793 I liked this reading because it gave me more understanding of where the novel Native Son came from. Also seeing what was that inspired Wright in his creations. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:26:36 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151788 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151788 This text is Credible becuase I do not believe that they is much bias in a biography, only if the creator wanted to say something different that really did not happen but for the most part the information should be credible. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:24:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151778 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151778 This text relates to The text that we read of "Black Boy" because this text is talking about where the information of the excert from "Black Boy" came from. It shows that the book "Black Boy" is really personal to Wright because it is about him. A difference that I saw between the novel "Native Son" and the text is that the Novel I do not believe that it is about but about a character that Wright created and the text is mainly about Wright. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:22:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151737 With the information that was given about Wright I can better understand where the whole story is coming from. I can see that the novel is more personal to Wright because it has to do with something that was happening all around him during his life time and he used that for inspiration. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:14:17 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151728 I phrase "racial violence againsst black people" is something that I know what it maens and I understand it but I have not used it in my discussions yet I believe. So this will be something that I will used because it is something that has an great impact because it is something that in most of the texts that we are talking about in class. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:10:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151699 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151699 Some topics that were covered: education, Poverty, The great depression,the communist party, and Amereican literature. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:03:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151461 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151461 I would say that the video is cridible. I say this because yes there may be some bias from where the information came from but in a whole the information was clear in stating facts and people from both racasis to support that. So in that case it would be credible. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:57:33 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151339 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151339 Well this video relates to To many of the texts and to the Book Native Son because of the fact of all the discrimination that is shown in the texts and and in the video. Even through the discrimination in the different text and in the video just because they are all protrayed in different ways it does not mean that they were not discrimination. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:49:00 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151245 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151245 Something that I learned like Alison said was how difficilt it was and still is to have a better life. This helps me better understand Bigger from Native Son more because he was given a great opportunity to grow and how a good job but things happened and because of his skin color there was no way for him to fight because he was already convicted because of his skin color. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:32:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151229 The topics that were covered were, the racial wealth gaps in this country, discrimination towards black Americans, redlining, the New deal, ways to decrease wealth gaps, slavery, subprime loans. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:26:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2151213 A term that I have learn from the video is "subprime loans". From the Merrian-Webster dictionary the defintion of this term is " having or being an interest rate that is higher than a prime rate and is extended chiefly to a borrower who has a poor credit score rating or high risk for defualt. I would use this term in discussions that take about the discrimination and injustice towards the Black Americans and other races in this country. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:23:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2150576 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2150576 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:56:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2150568 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2150568 I would say that there may be potential bias because as it is known we are all human and when we come to talk about something taht affect our own race or community then we all would normally have that bias thought in our head. In this case that is not always the center so in this case focusing on the persective of what information is given in the video there are primary sources that are used to prove the point that is trying to be made. Even though it may seen bias that because the one speacking is black and the information is about the crualty towards the black community what should be taken into account s is the speaker giving their opinions or is he just giving the facts. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:54:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2148365 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2148365 I would say that a similarity from the video to the book Native Son is that they both talk about segregation in this country and the effects that it has on the communities that are suffering from it. Another would be that they both talk about redlinig in the video it is more clear when it is being talked about but in the book it is not but that does not mean that it is not there. When in the book information about how Biggers home looked and then when it was talking about how the Daltons home looked it was talking about the differences between the two and it can be seen that the rich white family lived in a much more better condition than what Bigger and his family were living in. A difference between the two would be that in the novel the main focus is about the life of one blach american and his situation and in the video it is talking a community or better said it is talking about a whole country.

I would say that one way that this would help me better understand Native Son is with Bigger I feel that with the inforamtion that is given here about the segregation and racial profiling I feel like I better understand where most of Biggers anger is coming from. Now better understanding how they were separated from the others because of their skin color and treated badly as if they had done wrong I would be angery most of my time too. Knowing that there is injustice towards me and I did nothing to dserve it.

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 17:03:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2148305 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235789?scroll_to=2148305 In the discussions I will make will now incoporate the world redlining. Redlining is the parts in town with the people of less income, forgieners and black americans. This word is somethings has been part of most of the conversations that taken part in class but because not many or maybe even none knew about the word and its meaning, now it can be used with underestanding of what it means and because it is really inpactful. For example incases when talking about the novel Native Son because in this novel it can be seen that the white people lived separate fromm the black people and the homes were much better then the ones in the black community and to me that would be a casse where redlining in taking place.
