Origins of the Civil Rights Movement
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page paper discussing whether the successes of the Civil Rights Movement originated with grass roots initiatives or arose through government intervention. The short answer is that it was local, grassroots efforts that brought the magnitude of the existing injustices to the attention of Washington in the 1960s. That grassroots effort did not merely materialize from the ether surrounding Montgomery, Alabama, however. It began more than a century earlier, well before the Civil War. The paper discusses the influence of Frederick Douglass; Plessy v Ferguson (1896); Brown v Board of Education (1954); the Montgomery bus boycott; and the effects of Southern tradition. Bibliography lists 9 sources, several of which are primary.

Passage Criticism from Jean Rhys’ “Wide Sargasso Sea”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing elements of imagery and figurative language used throughout a passage in “Wide Sargasso Sea”. Jean Rhys uses vivid elements of imagery and figurative language to set the themes and tone throughout the novel “Wide Sargasso Sea”. In doing this, Rhys often shows oppositions within the environment in which certain characters must remain for the structure to remain consistent. A passage found on pages 65 and 66 (Penguin edition) relates Rochester leaving his structured world and getting lost in the forest to be later rescued by Baptiste. Within the forest, Rochester finds the forest to be dark and hostile as the bushes and branches grab at his legs. The only elements of civilization he finds are a road and a stone house which are overgrown and deserted. His relationship with Baptiste within the forest also differs with that outside of the forest. The passage overall contains many useful elements used throughout the novel which express the foreign aspects of the islands which are seen as dark, hostile and decayed from the colonial point of view. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
