While reading the Opportunity by Charles Johnson the passage The Corner By Eunice Hunton Carter(pg 50) stood out to me, The way this story is told from the very beginning to the end we can see the different lifestyles lived from. the very first paragraph “My friend lives in the house on the corner. She lives high above the street in a doll’s house of white enamel and soft blues with lovely old furniture and oriental rugs of faded brilliance on dark polished floors; in a miniature home with a real fireplace and polished grasses and flowers all about in crystal bowls.” all of this is just a viewpoint from a child who then goes on by seeing how one by one car move from the city to different parts of new york after a days work they were going home or “haunts “ compare to the “castle” in the beginning how even though the night was coming to an end the city was still alive with people with cars horns with lights. How people move so fast they’re missing out on what’s happening right in front of them

Another passage that stood out to me was The High Cost of Keeping the Negro Inferior By John C. Wright (pg 52) this also stood out to me makes the quotes in the passage are because of perspective and how with the information provided make a false seem truth how The majority of white Americans have little knowledge of black people, but the info provided about or the “stats” collected around the prison population “Negro is naturally trifling, dishonest, low and vicious” To keep them inferior they must be huddled in segregated ghettos without drainage, light, pavements, or modern sanitary conveniences they must be denied justice and the right to make a decent living. They must be insulted and bullied and mobbed, discriminated against in public places, and denied access to parks and recreational centers” Moving forward to expand this for my final draft l I think I would mention how DuBois used the magazines to showcase different approaches to show another perspective
