    It is known that many important and influential people held slaves during the time in which our country allowed to do so. It’s less known, or strategically forgotten in our history that it was incredibly common for slave owners to have sexual relationships with their slaves, consensual or otherwise. On the website, American Heritage, Annette Gordon-Reed wrote an article in which she makes a good point, “Speaking of love in the context of a master-slave relationship is even more difficult, given the moral and political implications…” Elaborating on her point, how consensual can it be for a person that “owns” someone’s life, to have a sexual relationship with an individual that is there against their own free will?

  • Deconstruction of Thank You, Ma’am

    First of all, the boy told Mrs. Jones that he tried to steal her purse for one reason, to buy blue suede shoes for himself.  She then replies, “Well you didn’t have to snatch my pocketbook to get some blue suede shoes... You could have just asked me.”  There are many faulty choices of judgments made in this comment, mainly because the outcome of the situation would almost never happen in the real world.  The boy will now, after being told he should just ask for the shoes, believe that anything he ever wants will come to his possession if would just ask.  To “trick” a child into being convinced that if you just ask a woman for money or anything that she will give it to you is morally wrong, and it is not fair for the boy to go through life having and accepting this state of mind.
