  • Blacks Passing as White in "The Garies and their Friends" by Frank J. Webb

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    Frank J. Webb allows us to see that blacks cannot pass as being white. Blacks would have to avoid their black friends like Clarence Jr. did. It seems like Clarence Jr. and Mr. Winston did not feel bad at first for trying to pass as white. Eventually, they knew that trying to pass as white in the North would be a bad idea, especially for Clarence Jr. He practically killed himself trying to keep a secret from his fiancée and family. Trying to pass as white would not work out for blacks and they should just be who they are and not someone they want to be.

    The word evil is defined as profoundly immoral and malevolent. The immoral or unethical things we sometimes find ourselves doing are a result of desperation, confusion and anger. Once we realize what our actions have become, we either feel relieved or guilty, afraid of the possible outcome. Our first instincts are to try and cover up our immoral actions with actions that in our minds will fix the problem; more immoral thoughts and actions. Honesty and truth seem so distant in these situations as our desperation and fear of judgment direct our irrational choices. In Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth experience the guilt of their role in the King’s death. As a result, Macbeth does not admit to his crime for fear of his life being taken, but instead plots against Banquo to cover his tracks. Though murder is an extreme case, the same thoughts and morals apply in the situations we face everyday. A lie, in fear of the consequences, can cause more pain and guilt than we intended thus another lie is created which adds strength to the first lie. Evil is a strong word, when heard it creates...

    During week one of EDC131 we learned that the way in which we use language to communicate can vary depending on the context. We also learned that there are many different forms of communication this includes writing, talking, and signing/ gestures. In learning both of these communications it became clear that communication is more than just speaking and that we use language to express many different emotions. Things such as opinions, beliefs, wishes, threats, commands, promises, and many others are also expressed through language and can change meaning if context is changed. This will later be helpful with my education and future career. (Original)
