The three paragraphs finally done!!!

Night John was a story about slavery and the life's of slaves. In the story there was a woman that was strong willed and she was later on used for breeding. After this she was feeling useless because she was basically raped and she didn't care about life and tried to attempt suicide. Many slaves tried to escape one had lost his legs and another had escaped to tell his story about how it was to be a slave.



Mascot was a story based about Malcolm x and written by him. He had talked about being sent to reform school being surrounded by white people. He had said he felt like a mascot because he was a well behaved and educated black guy. Malcolm x had changed when he had told his teacher he wanted to be a lawyer and was confident about it. He had felt like the white people acted like he was invisible. But this ended up leading to one of the most civil right activist other then Martin Luther king.





The Great Debaters were similar to the two story's because they were around the same time in the 1900's when slavery was mostly around. In both the story's and the movie there had been prejudice marks and you could tell how unequal whites were from blacks. But it was said in the story's and the movie that slavery will end with little steps at a time. The differences in the story's were the people were slaves and in the Great Debaters the black people had houses and cars but they had ran into mobs that wanted to kill them.
