ALBD Essay Outline
1. Intro
a. ALBD by Ernest Gaines is about a boy named Jefferson….....
b. Background Information about Jim crow and segregation,( Dates, facts, what it was)DEFINE ANY UNFAMILIAR TERMS
c. THESIS: The author represents this time period in history very accurately.....
d. Transition sentence: Gaines does this by showing how social norms, education, and justice system were like under the jim crow laws.
Evidence from the book(CHART)
Historical facts: “laws that made the whites occupy a higher social rung than blacks.”(from Niki browns article)
2. Body Paragraph 1: Social norms
A. Evidence from the book: In chapter 7 or 8(too hard to find)
B. Historical facts: “The justices argued that states could establish “separate but equal” facilities; if blacks and whites were treated equally, segregation would be allowed to stand. Yet, in almost all public facilities—schools, hospitals, trains, restaurants, hotels, parks, cemeteries, the armed forces, and jury duty—whites received priority over African Americans. Following the decision, some institutions excluded African Americans altogether.” This was normal back then.
3. Body Paragraph 2: Education
A.Evidence from the book: On page 13 chapter 2: “ Yes I’m the teacher, I said. And I teach what the white folks around here tell me to teach-reading, writing, and arithmetic.”
B.Historical facts: “Thurgood Marshall, sought to dismantle segregation in Louisiana’s public schools. Tureaud believed that segregated education, and the meager resources allotted for African American children, perpetuated poverty and inequality across generations. With the assistance of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Tureaud sued the state of Louisiana for paying African American teachers lower salaries than their white counterparts.”
4. Body Paragraph 3: Justice System
A.Evidence from the book: On pages 8 and 9 in Chapter One
B.Historical facts: “Homer Plessy, an active member of a New Orleans civil rights organization, the Comité de Citoyens, bought a first-class ticket on a train and attempted to sit among whites. After he was arrested for breaking the law, Plessy sued the railroad company, his lawyers arguing that segregation denied him equal protection under the law as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. In 1896, however, the US Supreme Court upheld Louisiana law in its decision on Plessy vs. Ferguson.” The reason they arrested Homer Plessy is because of the Jim Crow Laws applied to African Americans.
5. Conclusion : In the book, A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines
, it explains the everyday life and struggles in the 50s and 60s. Those years represent the Civil Rights movement. The book takes place in Louisiana, which was a state where African Americans were slaves and had little to no rights. The Civil Rights movement needed real heroes who could stand up for not only themselves but for others also. Jefferson, an African American boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessed a murder but got blamed for it because he was black. In order to convince the jury that he is innocent, his lawyer called him a hog in from of the judge in the court, claiming that killing him on the electrical chair does nothing, just like if there was a hog in that chair. Jefferson died like a man, but those like Grant, who was a school teacher,
are the real heroes, not only he stood up for Jefferson but also he represented the whole African-American community
Answers
Answer:
Though Ernest J. Gaines’s powerful novel A Lesson Before Dying is considered a fictional work, it is rooted in truth in two ways. For one thing, it is loosely based on a true story: In 1945, a black teenager named Willie Francis was detained and sentenced to death by electrocution for the murder of a pharmacist. In complete contrast to A Lesson Before Dying’s Jefferson, Francis eventually did confess to the crime (though allegedly, under duress) and managed to survive not one, but two attempted executions. Some other hard-to-ignore facts: The jury was all white. There was never really any evidence to detain Francis in the first place. Be sure to introduce students to Francis’s story, as it mirrors and contrasts that of Jefferson’s in quite interesting ways.
Most importantly, though, A Lesson Before Dying is true, and brutally so, because of the very-real themes it presents, particularly about race, prejudice, and death. Slavery had been abolished by the 1940s, but its effects still lingered through segregation and the unjust Jim Crow laws. And just like with “real” history, these themes resonate today, as racism and inequality are still prevalent. For example, the novel demonstrates the negative correlation between under-funded education and the success rate of students of color, through the fates of Grant Wiggins’s students. These students who do not succeed are more likely to work in the fields or even end up in jail. Gaines’s novel will surely educate students about the horrible treatment African Americans endured during this period of inequality and hate. Encourage open and meaningful discussion; allow students to express outrage, confusion, sadness, or all of the above. Consider reflecting on how readers might (or might not) have felt differently about Jefferson’s situation had he not been sentenced to death and only imprisoned, or had he committed the crime after all (like Willie Francis). These nuanced conversations will likely lead to greater questions: Where is the line between justice and injustice? How might we correct the flaws in our court system today?
These themes alone are enough to make A Lesson Before Dying a valuable, necessary part of your syllabus, but in case you aren’t convinced, there is plenty more to learn from the novel. You can facilitate students’ analysis of Grant’s pessimistic tone, several instances of symbolism (the butterfly, the flags), and the various philosophical allusions that crop up. We hope these highlights below will convince you to give this heartbreaking, historically significant work a try.
Both Reconstruction and Frederick Douglass's narrative address how formerly enslaved people were no truly free, even after they had gained their freedom. What supporting evidence do the two texts offer? How do the two texts differ in point of view and tone? In what ways are they similar?

Which word best fits this spelling pattern?

Answers
Answer:
succeed
Explanation:
There are double consonants in all three words above,
so that would make the word "succeed" fit this spelling pattern : )
- "psychology" is absolutely off

- "write" is unrelated and doesn't work

Upon reaching home yesterday from school you were involved in a home accident write a dairy entry about the home accident

4th December, 2018

Witnessed a horrible accident
Today was the day for everything horrible. I had my mathematics exam. I got into my school bus at the usual time- 08:30 am. On the way to the back home was very stressed regarding the exam marks I am gonna get of this particular subject. I hardly had room for other troubles in my head. While in the bus I noticed everyone gliding to the right-side-windows. I thought it was unnecessary to get up from my seat, but Abhijeet shouted, "Come and watch this tragedy." I was shocked when I went near the window to peep outside. I noticed a man who died an instant death after being hit and crushed by a truck. Oh God! His bike was far away from his body and his head was crushed to bits. His brain and blood were all on the concrete path. That sight blew me and I started shivering. I was so shocked that how can it happen this badly to someone. What about his family now? I hardly know the man but the sight remains to flash as soon as I try to close my eyes. It was tormenting to watch such a horrific accident. Anyhow, the bus changed its route and we were at the school in no time. But I kept on dwelling with the thought of the man who lost his life before me. It's midnight and I have my exam tomorrow, but I am hardly able to concentrate on the subject. Anyhow, I wish he rests in peace and that is all I can say. I feel a bit relieved after writing this because I did not tell about this to anybody.
Compare and contrast: Charlie and
Algernon. In what ways are they similar and
different?
Answers
Answer:
Charlie and Algernon are very different, yet peculiarly similar.
Charlie, of course, is a human and has a much bigger emotional variation than Algernon. Charlie has desires for love, sex, connection and relationships. Algernon is a mouse, so he has the desire for food. We don't see him wanting anything that Charlie wants throughout the novel. We can see, at the beginning of the novel, that Charlie and Algernon are similar in their simple mindedness. They are both dull, even at Algernon's farthest mental capacity, because they are naive. Once again, Algernon is a mouse, so he cannot have the emotional capacity of a human. Charlie in the beginning, because he is special ed, he has about the same mental and emotional capacity as Algernon.
I hope this helps!
