I chose to use Bayard Rustin’s “Montgomery to Stonewall” essay as my text source, due to its metaphors that help compare the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and other notable social movements to the Gay Liberation Movement of the 1970s. I will be writing in a speech text type using my text source as inspiration. The speaker in my poem is a young African American female who is inspired by Rustin’s message to continue fighting for racial equality and equality for the LGBTQ+ community in the modern age. My speaker is talking to a diverse global audience, who are people willing to stand up to injustice in the world. My speaker’s purpose in the poem is to inspire people to

In the short story Bullet in the Brain, Tobias Wolff creates a sarcastically doughty character by the name of Anders. However, it becomes transparent that beneath this stone-cold portrayal of a man resides a troubled past. Throughout the story, Ander’s life struggles slowly begin to show through the cracks, giving the reader insight into what has turned him into such a hateful man. Another interesting character in the story is the man who takes charge of the robbery. He remains unnamed for the entirety of the happenings, and, although he is not alone in committing this crime, plays an important role in framing the theme of Wolff’s work. Wolff uses literary strategies such as imagery and extreme detail to pull the reader into the story, lock in their attention, and relate the symbolism and emotion of what’s happening. These devices have a great effect on the story.

Lansing did not hold many opportunities of any kind for a young black man then, so without a particular plan, Malcolm X went to live with his half-sister, Ella, in Boston. Malcolm X looked, and almost immediately found trouble. He fell in with a group of gamblers and thieves, and began shining shoes at the Roseland State Ballroom. There he learned the trades that would eventually take him to jail dealing in bootleg liquor and illegal drugs. Malcolm X characterized his life then as one completely lacking in self-respect. Many journalists would emphasize Malcolm X’s “shady” past when describing the older man, his clean-cut lifestyle, and the aims of the Nation of Islam. In some cases, these references were an attempt to damage Malcolm X’s credibility, but economically disadvantaged people have found his early years to be a point of commonality, and Malcolm X himself was proud of how far he had come. He spared no detail of his youth in his autobiography, and used his Nation of Islam ideas to interpret them. Dancing, drinking, and even his hair style were represented by Malcolm X to be marks of shame and self-hatred. Relaxed hair in particular was an anathema to Malcolm X for the rest of his life; he described his first “conk” in the autobiography this way: “This was my first really big step toward self-degradation: when I endured all of that pain of the hair-straightening chemicals, literally burning my flesh to have it

From the beginning, the protagonist tries to convince the reader of their sanity. But while trying to convince us that he is not crazy, he contradicts himself constantly. You can tell that this character is very confident in his decision to commit a murder, which is a scary thought for me, that anyone could so easily plan to kill someone. That is exactly what he was doing as well, he had a plan and he spent days trying to put it into action. He creeps into an old man's room in the middle of the night, for many nights, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the man to open his eyes.
