This story was about a woman who just find out her husband had died. But instead of her being sad that he died she was happy. Then all of a sudden she sees someone coming into the house and when she finds out that it’s her husband she dies of a heart attack because she was so disappointed. I think what the writer is trying to solve is women’s right because back then they were not equal to men so of course she would be happy that she could live on her own without caring for someone else.
The reason why I think that is because of this text… “When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.” It sounded to me like she was happy that he was finally gone.
In the story the battle with Mr. Covey I think that writer was trying to get people to see that slavery is not a good thing for African Americans. The African Americans have been beat down to their lowest points only for someone to come along and beat them lower. The reason why I think that is because of this text…” We were worked in all weathers. It was never too hot or too cold; it could never rain, blow, hail, or snow too hard for us to work in the field. Work, work, work was scarcely more the order of the day than of the night. The longest days were too short for him, and the shortest nights too long for him.”
I think that the movie “Set it off” is a good example of realism. The reason why I think that is because the story is about four friends who don’t really have enough money to survive and the all have their said story about their childhood that holds them down from the future. Then one day they decide to rob a bank but before they do they make a plan how to get the money. While doing so everyone dies but one, and the one who doesn’t die moves to Mexico where the police can not get her.
I think is a good example because it tells you that life isn’t always good and lovely. That’s just a sugar coat that people but over the real world to shield people from the truth. It just lets you know that not everyone is born with a silver spoon.
