da blog: native son
http://youredablog.blogspot.com/2009/04/native-son.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. A common theme in Richard Wright's novel Native Son is that of scapegoating and prejudice based on skin color. In the novel, Bigger Thomas is a murder but because of his skin color he is convicted as a rapist, murder and is sentenced to death. Had Bigger been a white man, would society have turned a blind eye to his indiscretion? Some 70 years have passed since this novel was written, yet we still face racial prejudice in our society everyday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ryan Douglas: Entourage and Heterosexual Privilege
http://ryan-douglas.blogspot.com/2009/03/entourage-and-heterosexual-privilege.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. Entourage and Heterosexual Privilege. There is no denying that HBO’s “ Entourage. Ems as if HBO has created yet another hit. For me though, I have always been entertained by the comical relationship between Ari, Vince’s agent played by Jeremy Piven, and his gay assistant, Lloyd played by the openly gay Rex Lee. It’s safe to say that every straight man and woman don’t want to be with each other so I don’t see why it is assumed that all gay men want to be with each ...Heterosexual pr...

Monday, March 30, 2009. Racial Profiling and Stereotypes. Native Son was written in the late 1930s but Richard Wright's message is still prevalent today.

Ryan Douglas: Black in America

So, I am left to learn what life would be like as the opposite race through articles like “ Being Black can M. Ean Being a Suspect. The facts are very straightforward; almost half of the people in jail are black as shown very clearly in a report by the NAACP. March 18, 2009 at 8:49 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Beware of the Blog! Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Should this be the new cover for Native Son? In Native Son by Richard Wright one of the obvious themes was racism and prejudice. In the novel, Bigger, the main character was a black man who wound up in a rather tough predicament ending up with him in a lot of trouble. One of the underlying themes of the novel that I chose to focus on was the battle Wright created between Capitalism and Communism. . If the my delicious does not work (which it often doesn't).
