... mentally abused everyday. A number of women were too poor to get a divorce or even runaway from their husbands. Husbands of these times supported the family and were the only ones who had a job in the family. In “Sweat” Delia was the supporter of the family she worked every day supporting herself and Sykes.

... in an unfortunate reality that he's not who he once was. "There was no cast net and the boy remembered when they had sold it. But they went through this fiction everyday. There was no pot of yellow rice and fish and the boy knew this too." (16) To keep his pride, and in almost denial, the old deteriorating fisherman pretends there is a meal ready to eat in the presence of the boy when there isn't a freshly caught fish in a 10 mile radius of the dilapidated shack. It's hard to accept that the fishing glories from the past are but a memory for Santiago as he welcomes poverty with humble hands. The phrase "Nobody loves you when you're down and out" depicts the rel ...

... One of his biggest downfalls because of this shortsightedness is that he does not realize that his destiny is solely in the hands of the gods. After Oedipus is told as a young boy about the prophecy of his life, he can not "see" how he is destined to marry his mother and kill his father. Furthermore, because of his lack of insight he truly believes that he can move without the Oracle’s prophecy following him. No matter what Oedipus does, he has no control over what the gods have predetermined. The gods also punish the people of Thebes with hard times since it is these people who brought Oedipus into the land as their king. The gods do this in order to mak ...

... between a black man and a white man, providing hope that some day the two races will live together in peace and harmony. As, white founded mining companies started to spring up so did cities, bringing many new jobs with them. As more mines were developed, more miners were needed, so affluent white men started recruiting poor black men from small villages. The poor black men were allured by the thought of being paid well and living happy lives, but they were wrong. They were only paid three shillings a day and lived in houses that were complete dumps. Many miners thought that if they found more gold they would be rewarded, but they were wrong. Countless miners had f ...

But, now that the slaves were free, they were no longer property and were worthless so why not get rid of them? After much political and emotional interest in lynching, Ida B. Wells launched her anti-lynching in 1892 in which 241 people were lynched. Through her hard work and determination she made a great mark in history. With the distribution of her pamphlets she was able to help people realize that the ...
