The Song of Solomon was a good and essential novel. It talks about different forms of elements such as one in particular, love. Love was just one thing that was mentioned in the novel, it also talked about the motif of flying which was really a metaphor for freedom. The African-Americans were trying to be set free from different aspects that they thought was keeping them out of living on the hands of themselves. Love was thought to be hard to come by just like Sweet’s love for Milkman made him realize he was in love with Hagar that is one way love has influenced Milkman’s life.


What character has the most transformation throughout the story?
Milkman can be understood only by converting the facts over the overall understanding of the story. Milkman has the most influence on everyone’s life because as soon as he gets accepted in the community the story really starts to point out a major transformation in Milkman’s life. He becomes overwhelmed with the past and why things happened because he thought they happened for a reason.

Antigone the Feminazi

How are men and women different?

Basically the main difference is that males and females have different types of urges than one another. Those urges push one or the other to do certain things. Such an urge may push a man to do something he really want or may not want to do. On the other hand are females, which have mood swings that are for a man is difficult to deal with when he is trying to talk to his women about something important or just nothing important at all depending on how big of a mood she's really in. The reallity of this is that men are considered hard when they do something ambitious or when a man acts crazy he is considered imature. When a women do something sweet or compationate for somebody they are characterized as pationate or sensitive. Thats the difference to me from a man and a woman.

Whats in the Bag?

I really think that I make all my decisions on principles instead of just assumptions, such as on the court I make decisions as to where the ball need to be pass to, which play is right for a particular defense, what possession should I be at on the court, or even when you're at school you have to make decisions to what you want to do. I do also believe that some people aren't capable of knowing what's right for different situations or some just not mentally capable of obtaining the right thing to do. But I know I make some decisions that are very wrong to some people. I don't have a real reason for doing these things it's just how I act sometimes. Everybody makes dumn decisions sometimes, but I trully believe they know what their doing.

Free Fallin'

The relatonship between fate and free will is that of in Oedipus Rex the characters describe how Oedipus and the murder of his father Laios was all fate to be given to Oedipus like as a curse or something. And free will falls under how it all ties down at the end of the story to me because Oedipus kills himself off of freewill, but fate also brought him to that point of distinction.

whats the big deal?

I think the big deal was to captivate the reader into knowin where Martin Luther King was coming from. I believe he was trying to make the audience realize or truly understand the life that he lived and some of the things he had to go through as of when he got locked up in Birmingham jail. While he was in jail that made him really think about what he believe in the society and what he thought about the segregation, women rights, voting rights, and the whole outside world dealing with slavery. To me, I also believe in how the things that happened shouldn't have happened because of the simple fact that the people back then should not have had any type of classifications or judgements on certain races.
