The main character in his book, Bigger, is very much similar to him. Besides Native Son, all of his other work is based of of real life experiences, things that he has seen happen. Getting to know him really provides clarity around his literature work and why he did what he did.

As I stated in my previous statement, the black male would continuously try to talk to his landlord about everything that was going bad in his home so he could go fix it but the landlord simply did not care. The video and the poem both discuss housing situations and how it affects people of color.

This actually reminded me of the poem "Ballad of the landlord" and the book 'Native Son" because in both, they had struggles with their living situations. Especially in "Ballad of the landlord" when the black male kept telling his landlord everything that had been happening in his home and the landlord simply ignored him and shrugged him off as if he were nothing.

These are terms that I did not know about.

The main difference is the fact that the book talks about the life of Bigger and goes to show his character development. IN the book it really didn't say much about the rest of the people who may have gone through the same thing or maybe something different. IN the video, it talks about a whole community of people and how they have sytruggled through all these vile acts and activities.

Based on the voice I heard in the video, I would say the man was of color. Bias can occur either intentionally or unintentially. Hindsight bias coul dbe shown because we all have different beliefs and were each raised to believe certain ideologies. However, I have come to the conclusion that this is a credible source as the man had conducted interviews with different people but that does not mean that he was not bias. He only really showed his perspective on situations instead of giving the audience a perspective from every side and or angle.

In "Native Son" Bigger's family doesn't really have enough space for all them let alone the fact that Bigger's mom is struggling to make sure that they stay together. I Realized that this was why Bigger's mom wanted him to get the job with the Dalton's so bad. Of course, the job would provide better income and the struggle of trying to maintain 3 kids would be less.

Redlining is a discriminatory practice in which banks and other insurance companies refuse or limit loans within specific areas. This term is important as it goes to prove why Black people lived in certain conditions and why they were never able to afford a better place to live in with their families.

I am sure that many kids our age have come to realize through experience, how important and fortunate they are to have parents. There are many kids out there who don't have parents or maybe they do but aren't shown the love they desire. We take our parents for granted and later come to the realization that we need them. We come to express gratitude when it's too late. Mon, 13 Jul 2020 21:25:23 -0500
