On Monday 03/13/17 at 0555 hours I was dispatched to a CPR in progress at 1823 M ST NE in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA. When I arrived Officer J. Triplett was inside the living room contacting a male, who was identified as John Johnson. I observed John was performing CPR on a female, who was identified as Lori Johnson. I observed Lori did not have any clothing on, and she was lying on the living room floor with her lower half out of the screen door onto the back patio. I instructed John to move aside. I checked Lori for a pulse using left index and middle fingers to the right side of her neck, but did not feel one. I asked John what happened, and he stated he just arrived home and found Lori unconscious in the hot tub, which is located
According to his biography, Ernest J. Gaines grew up in Oscar, Louisiana on a plantation in the 1930s. He worked picking potatoes for 50 cents a day, and in turn used his experiences to write six books, including A Lesson Before Dying. While the novel is fictional, it is based on the hardships faced by blacks in a post Civil War South, under Jim Crow and 'de jure' segregation. In A Lesson Before Dying, the main story line is a sad tale in which a young black man named Jefferson, is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. Grant Wiggins, a teacher, is persuaded by Jefferson's grandmother Miss Emma to help Jefferson become a man before his execution. The struggle for Grant to get Jefferson to cooperate, and Grant's own internal development are the main plot-points; however, the background commentary on systems of racism is the main theme.

This book shows us that, even in the face of hopelessness, there is indeed hope, and there is a need to move forward. There is nothing that can change what the outcome will be in the end. However, in light of this, a person is left with two options. Either they could deny and fight it the entire way, or accept it, learn from it, and move forward. This paper will show you,, when given this situation, what the outcome will be when one choices to accept it and move on.
While we all would agree that racism is immoral and has no place in a modern society, that was not the case in the U.S. in the 1940s. At the time African Americans were treated as second-class citizens, it was made near-impossible for them to vote, and they were discriminated in many ways including in education, socially and in employment. It was a time in which segregation and racism perforated the laws and society, a time in which African Americans were “separate but equal,” segregation was legal and in full force. Apartheid was also everywhere from the books to in society. Blacks were not truly seen as equal as they were seen the the lesser of the two and it very much felt that way. Blacks were oppressed in many ways including having unreachable requirements to vote, such regulations included literacy tests, poll taxes, and elaborate registration systems, but it only started there.
Vancil initiates the criticism of A lesson Before Dying in an old-fashioned, excessive religious genre of attitudes. He claims that Grant Wiggins is reluctant to atonement for guilt to uphold the Christian faith belief system within the Quarters, the small community of Wiggins’ residence. Wiggins has just evolved into the Diaspora of African-American people whose adapted a new way of thought and forever changing lifestyle alterations ranging from the southern to western regions in America. It may not be in complete agreement and acceptance by the matriarchs and patriarchs of the community but it progresses into a unique character identification tool for oneself. Black Americans were unwillingly detached from the true African tribal culture and therefore must attempt to gain a bountiful knowledge on one’s own heritage, current, and future life expectancies for the average home grown man or woman.

The Johnson-Jeffries fight was significant in many ways. Johnson and other African Americans helped prove that blacks could be dominate at sports. The knowledge that blacks can be good at sports changed, but the acceptance did not. Jack Johnson was the world heavyweight champion and was the first black heavyweight champion. White people couldn’t stand having a black athlete on top especially with their social darwinstic view point that whites are better at everything. This is summarized by “ Johnson now ruled the boxing world, much to the chagrin and horror of whites.” The events before and after the fight tell us that whites thought they were of higher stature in every way than people of color in every way. In this context masculinity and
