Analysis Of Greogory Howard Williams Life On The Color Line

405 Words1 Page

From an early age we are told, “We can be anything we want in America; we just have to work hard enough”, but is this a viable statement? Greogory Howard Williams and Lubrano’s text both are proff that is it. In Life on the Color Line by Gregory Howard Williams the notion of hard work pays off is one that comes up quite often by the end of the book. Williams talks about a time when he spent an entire day educating himself on the many topics of school which he describes as, “Long, long, hours passed as I hunched over the card table in my room reading history, drafting English compositions, and struggling to understand science” (Williams, 172). This is something that many kids today can relate to thanks to the increased workload in schools around

  • Most Overrated Product: The Bachelor's Degree By Marty Nemko

    1166 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article “America’s Most Overrated Product: The Bachelor’s Degree” by Marty Nemko, the author argues several different views on why higher education may be very overestimated. For starters, the author shares his opinion more than anything else due to him being a career counselor. The purpose of this essay is to explain to the readers that most people start off with the idea of living the American Dream. Which is practically going to college to have a better life and career. But over the time the idea of working very hard for a Bachelor’s degree has become very dimmed. Furthermore, for some people, when they think of the American Dream they think of hope for bettering themselves and also helping their families. Unlike the author, Nemko feels that even the thought of trying to pursue to get a bachelor’s degree is overrated. The audience of this passage would most likely be teenagers going into college and parents. Nemko states that “Colleges are quick to argue that a college education is more

  • Challenging Stereotypes: Brilliance in Blue-Collar Work

    1101 Words  | 3 Pages

    Through the various types of texts I went through, Mike Rose’s article on “Blue-Collar Brilliance” was the one that I felt I could personally relate to. I grew up in a family where manual labor was the key to a good income. Out of my entire family, I was the only one who graduated high school and went to college, therefore I grew up realizing that people didn’t necessarily need a college education to be considered “smart”. My father has been one of the smartest people in my family, I could explain my calculus homework to him and he would be able to quickly grasp at all the equations and concepts, even though he dropped out of high school as a freshmen in Mexico. In the fall of 2015, I had decided to skip a semester of college to find job opportunities outside of the education field. Starting off with high hopes, I quickly came to realize that job opportunities were hard to find. I came to have a lot

  • Gregory Howard Williams' Life on the Color Line

    1009 Words  | 3 Pages

    Life on the Color Line is a powerful tale of a young man's struggle to reach adulthood, written by Gregory Howard Williams - one that emphasizes, by daily grapples with personal turmoil, the absurdity of race as a social invention. Williams describes in heart wrenching detail the privations he and his brother endured when they were forced to remove themselves from a life of White privilege in Virginia to one where survival in Muncie, Indiana meant learning quickly the cold hard facts of being Black in skin that appeared to be White.      This powerful memoir is a testament to the potential love and determination that can be exhibited despite being on the cusp of a nation's racial conflicts and confusions, one that lifts a young person above crushing social limitations and turns oppression into opportunity.

    People who work hard enough become successful and build a good life for themselves and their family. Millions of Americans and others who admire America have believed this for generations. However, is this still true? Brandon King debates his interpretation of the American Dream in his published work, “The American Dream: Dead, Alive, or on Hold?” During his essay, the speaker highlights how important the American Dream is to the economy and providing a distance from inequality. The speaker emphasizes his belief that the American Dream is still alive within America and that people must work hard to achieve it. When discussing the American Dream, King will agree that the idea is alive and thriving in the minds of Americans; yet, I argue that the idea is on hold within American society due to lack of upward social independence and economic mobility.

  • The Generic Blue Ribbon System is Destroying The American Dream

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    The principle behind our entire society is if one works hard he/she will be rewarded justly, this principle is considered the framework for the American dream. Writer of the Century History Review, Tony McCulloch, referred to the American dream as, “all American citizens should be able to better themselves through hard work, especially in their education and employment, so that they could achieve a higher standard of living (16+).” For hard work there must be incentive such as a better job or acceptance into a top tier school. Today adults actively reward all children regardless of the achievements or lack thereof. The generic blue ribbon system actively destroys all incentive for hard work by essentially promising children they will be rewarded for just sho...

    One of the reasons that the American Dream is still alive is that there are so many opportunities everyday. Most public schools provide students the necessities they need to succeed, so it is up to them whether or not one decides to use those necessities to achieve a goal.

    ...ese, the person doesn’t have to work for anything for they were already born into riches therefore their lives up until they are old will continue to be filled with riches. A prime example of Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton is an American heiress due to her great grandfather being the founder of the Hilton Hotels, which are now a bombing corporation. Being born into such a wealthy family, she found it apropos to take up the opportunity to become anything she wanted such as television personality, businesswoman, fashion designer, model, actress, producer, DJ, author and singer. Not everyone is given the opportunity to become successful heiresses such as Paris Hilton. That is what make the idea of “hard work equals success” very dependent upon natural born talent and opportunity which in turn makes this aspect of the American Dream more realistic rather than romantic.
