Native Son is the complete opposite. This video relates to the Poem,The Rose that grew from Conerete because someone achieves success.

Bigger and Wright both struggled through poverty and were raised by single mothers. They differ because Bigger wasn't very smart and killed someone. While Ricard was smart and did'nt.

James Baldwin explains how image affects peoples perception of you. Biggers image was distorted when he was forced to confess to the crime and the news potrayed him as some kind of beast. He was no longer Bigger Thomas, but another evil black man. This is similar to when Baldwin said "I don't know what white people see when they look at a negro, but it wasn't me".

The video talks about maladaptive coping mechanisms. Bigger definatly uses these. An example of this is when he gets angry at Bessie after killing Mary. He was trying to cope with the fact that he had just killed a white woman and the police where after him.

It seems biased and very critical. It includes the authors opinions Wed, 21 Oct 2020 15:29:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151539 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2151539 This passage talks about stereotypes and gaining sympathy from white people.

The source is unbiased and the sources used are cited at the bottom, meaning that they did research. We don't really know if those sources are reliable though.

The author and Bigger both struggled through poverty and never got to finish their education. They both had single mothers raising them. Wright was presented an opportunity and became successful, unlike Bigger.

A lot of his background can be seen in characters like Bigger.

I might use these words in a discussion about Richard Wright.

The was a clear difference between the rich and the poor in each of them.

The white people always had the money and power, leaving the colored people very poor with no opportunities.

I could use this in a discussion where white people try to say that black people are making excuses and we all have equal opportunities.

They used unbiased information and charts to support their argument. They interviewed some black people, who shared their perspective. They used relevant sources and there are no issues with reliability. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 09:19:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149586 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235790?scroll_to=2149586 This video relates to Native Son because they both deal with the impacts of segregation and racism. Racism had a large impact on the characters. In both the video and the book, black people are presented with fewer opportunities and bad living conditions. But no health-related topics were brought up in the book.

This helps me better understand Native Son and the clear difference between the blacks and the whites.

I could incorporate these terms into my discussions when someone tries to tell me to get over racism, so I can explain how racism affects everything aroubd us. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 08:34:58 -0400
