One of my favorite shows right now is the key play to benign underdog and having to face obstacles , just like we talked in class. Izuku , the main character wants to be a hero so bad , but unfortunately he doesn’t have a quirk and everyone has denied him of the possibility of becoming a hero. But eventually due to his bravery he was inherited a quirk which he is now learning how to use. Izuku is making his way to being the best hero to ever exist. The obstacles and victories make him notably the character that inspires all and gives hope.

“Funny the day you born that’s really your death sentence”

Childish Gambino , makes this statement in his song ” Life: The Biggest Troll (Andrew Auernheimer). Saying how the day you’re born is really your death sentence goes to show someone play on life.How one defines how others live and the way they view it. To say when you’re born starts down the countdown of your death sentence , is the same insisted to whereas Jefferson is in the cell not knowing exactly when he will face death till they tell him.

“Since emancipation, almost a hundred years ago , they would do any kind of work they could find to keep from working side by side in the field with the niggers…Even took that kind of work from the white boys, because they would do wit so much cheaper than the white boys would,Anything not to work alongside the niggers”(198)

Sometimes within your own race you are faced with racism , you wouldn’t expect that form of monstrosity to someone of your same background. Simply because one is a few shades lighter doesn’t define you to be greater than anybody. Grant repeat that the multattos in his town were willing to do anything to keep from working with “niggers” , their brothers , black men , same background , and in the eyes of the white man a nigger. The mulattos are willing to go as far to charge less for their labor , whites discredits them and their work , just to not work with “niggers”. One is willing to go as far , as limit the amount of pay they should receive for ones labor all to avoid someone like themselves but a few shades lighter. Racism within its own race is a barbaric , sickening and Gaines takes us to this place , so it is known what is going on within the community.

Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different from mine in every other respect. He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator; he was allowed to converse with and acquire knowledge from beings of a superior nature, but I was wretched, helpless, and alone. Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition, for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me.

Throughout all the experts of the novel we’ve read, one of the main themes is beauty, in this passage it’s Satan. In this passage the creature takes it a step further to explain his living condition and his experience as a reference to Satan. What triggers me is how he mentions Adam and says “he come forth the hands of god , a perfect creature” , it is well known about Adam and the creation of the world in 7 days. The creator takes something as beautiful as that and than compares himself to Satan , saying he is best to fit his image. It’s a little drastic , we all know the Devil was no good , he was the bad apple and tried to make everyone come to his side. The creature isn’t a bad person, his feeling of jealous is normal because he didn’t wish to be created looking as monstrous as he does. The reference of beauty here holds sort of the stereotypical idea of beauty , to put it up against goodness and evil , which doesn’t doesn’t truly define ones heart is interesting. The comparison here goes to show you the ways in how our brains are set up in from past times.
