I hope to include them into my discussions in the future because I want to study it further in college.

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:46:34 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152035 Some of the information I learned was how hard it is to make money as a black family and it will be worse with kids which helps me understand the difficulty of the boy in "Hunger". Wed, 21 Oct 2020 17:44:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152032 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2152032 The main topics were the racial wealth gap between black and white people, how their wealth changed after education.

I think I would start using the word equalizer in my discussions now. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:54:07 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151144 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151144 This source is completely biased so it isn't credible. It is criticising a book which is an opinion and not facts. Therefor, it is not credible and is only one persons opinion.c Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:01:32 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151137 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151137 The whole text is an opinion on Native Son and how the main character is portrayed so that is the main relation with each other. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:58:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151133 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151133 The information that was being talked about throughout the whole text gave me a different view on how the author writes Native Son. I did come to think it was good writing but reading the way Mathis sees the book, I think differently. Not entirely but in certain aspects. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:57:41 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151123 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151123 The topics that were talked about in this text were that Richard Wrights book is a terrible and very stereotypical view of the black community. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:55:21 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150775 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150775 Some of the new vocabulary that I learned is grotesque, excoriated, and transcend. Words I want to add to my vocabulary in particular are grotesque and excoriated because they're simple words with large meaning. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:30:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150634 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150634 I believe that although it may seem biased because the speaker was a black person, its still credible. I think it is still credible because they were the affected people so their point of view should also be valid Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:11:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150626 I personally relate the video to Native son and Hunger because of the lack of opportunities and poverty faced among the black communities. Especially when new laws were made to "help" but only helped a certain number of people and not everyone. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:05:19 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150607 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150607 I learned that because only the voices of the white people were heard, they had the most advantage in life. Black people were punished and even killed when they tried to stand up for themselves so it was nearly if not impossible to succeed in any way. Their opportunities were very limited. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150569 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2150569 The main topics covered in the video are the proposed New Deal that FDR came up with. Different societal classes were also mentioned. Segregation and the National Housing act was also mentioned along with the assassination of MLK Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:55:08 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149865 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149865 Some of the new vocabulary I learned and plan to use in my vocabulary from now on is distressed, redlined neighborhoods, and explicitly forbid.

Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:31:09 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947769 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947769 I think that often times a lot of kids say things like if my parents weren't here i could do this and that and are often ungrateful of what their parents really do for them so i think the author including this was very nice. Tue, 04 Aug 2020 19:50:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947768 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947768 The fact that the author included that he was going to cry, shows the extremeness of his poverty situation Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:24:57 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947765 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208004?scroll_to=1947765 The author gave hunger human like characteristics to hunger to express how much it affected him.
