Booker T. Washington/Up From Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses and analyzes Booker T. Washington's autobiography. The writer argues that Washington brought rational discourse and reasoned compromise to a volatile era in race relations. He fully realized that a black man could not get a white man to consider his position unless he managed to get around the overt bigotry, antagonism and defensiveness. As his autobiography demonstrates, Washington excelled at this. The purpose of this text is to get white America to think, to consider the black perspective and to see that rights for African Americans benefited everyone. No additional sources cited.

Briton Hammon’s “Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon”: Against the Status Quo
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Briton Hammon’s narrative and elements which seem to go against the norms of the time. Briton Hammon’s narrative of his thirteen years at sea seems in many ways to go against the norms of society believed to have existed at that time. Hammon, a slave, was released by his Master to serve at sea. Throughout the narrative, Hammon relates his treatment and his impression of others as if he is a British citizen and this is reflected in his story. Although it appeared he wished to go to sea at the beginning, his final passages express his relief and gratitude for being returned to his Master and his “Native” land, America. Hammon’s story breaks with the status quo and the impressions of the time in that not only was he the first African American prose writer, he also considered himself properly treated by his Master, felt an alliance with Britain and America, was desired and sought after by the Indians and the Governor of Havana and received full wages for his work on the ships while serving Britain. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Butler's Kindred And Toomer's Fern
[ send me this paper ]
Jean Toomer's Cane is a collection of 'writings' that often resemble short stories but also include fables, folktales, lyrics and poetry. Fern is but one section of the book. Octavia Butler's Kindred is a novel that has hints of the science fiction genre for which she was to later earn her reputation. This 5 page paper asserts that the two works share the commonality of dual protagonists: the narrator and Fern in Fern and Rufus and Dana in Kindred. No additional sources are listed.
