Richard Wright's "Black Boy" And James Baldwin's "Go Tell It On The Mountain": Family, Religious Faith And Survival
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. Richard Wright's Black Boy and James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain critically apply the themes of family, religious faith and survival in such a way that readers are left pondering whether or not these particular elements are truly reflective of each story's respective characters or if, rather, they are merely superficial components that represent only what family means from an idealists perspective. Indeed, one can readily surmise that while religious faith is the common denominator among family members, it is not necessarily so by way of moral guidance; rather, it provides social institutions and a type of self-rule for a people in bondage. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Ring Lardner's 'The Haircut'
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. The question is not one of whether Paul Dickson actually committed the premeditate murder of Jim Kendall, but rather if he is fully responsible for the act of passion that he is truly guilty of committing. Certainly, the purported accident is not one of happenstance, because it is no secret how much Paul -- and most of the other townspeople -- despise Jim because of the heartless and cruel jokes he plays on his unwitting victims. But when Julie Gregg -- Paul's unrequited love interest -- becomes victim of a particularly unmerciful prank, it is likely too much for the otherwise mild mannered young man to bear. The writer discusses the reasons why the murder was, in fact, premeditated, and suggests that the entire town is guilty of the crime, as well. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
