Reality Bites

  Mary Anne Evans also known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. George Elliot wrote about real situations and how to deal with it accordingly. shes a person who adamentely believes that "important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by the perfect man". This world would not be the perfect place we all want it to be if we place all the responsibility in one person's hands, that's how we gain abuse of powers.

We must take some of the responsibility in order to move the progress we want forward by protesting, getting involved and making an effort to make a difference. Things won't change if we just sit around complaining instead of getting up and doing. Just like Frederick Douglass said " I pray for 20 years but receive no answer until I prayed with my legs". In other words we must take the initiative instead of rely on others to make it for us.

On the other hand the world is full of immature people who need a levelheaded authority to guide them on the right track or else chaos breaks out. However flaws can pleasantly emerge from havoc. We realize in hindsight the right changes that need to be made in order for bad things to not happen again for the better, that's why history is so important. Its a whole study dedicated to learning from our mistakes in order to move on and be better.

 Sometimes the bad can sprout good, were all flawed and make mistakes but that doesn't define who we are as humans. Therefore we shouldn't assume that bad times will be indefinite because if you think about it every bad thing has lead to a good thing and that good thing would have never have happened if that bad thing never took place, so we should learn to appreciate the good with the bad.

Tupac states that when people see a rose grow from concrete trying to survive they will be amazed  ," you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete."  however once its a ghetto kid they will always bring back the dirty stems and how they are still leaning crooked to the side. This sentence basically means that no matter how much you try to come up, society will always try to find the negative and not see that the ghetto kid is trying to rise above that.       In the "Rose from Concrete" Tupac uses imagery of a rose growing from concrete to compare a ghetto kid growing out of bad circumstances to a rose immersing from concrete. Tupac uses an analogy to compare himself to a rose. The rose is a metaphor that symbolizes the strength and pers...

       Chief Joseph was the leader of the one of the largest tribes the Nez Perce. He faced with white settlement in tribal lands of Oregon. Many believe he died of a "broken heart" but he will always be remembered for leading his people on an epic flight across the Rocky Mountains.He didn't want his people to be subjected to oppresion by the colonizers, so he led them on a journey to Canada's border. On this journey they had to combat with them for the majority of the way, until he was eventually exhausted of the will to carry on and goes on to elaborate more on this feeling, in this speech.       Chief Joseph asserts that he is tired of fighting  " I will fight no more forever".  Then chief joseph starts listing all the reasons he is surrendering such as they  have no blankets, little children are freezing to death, they have no food,etc. "Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad". Due to the dissray of his people C...
