Black Is Beautiful In America.

     My name is Johanna- Marly and i am a black girl and i am very proudof myself because i am able to do anything i want. In the novel "A Lesson Before Dying" show us how they used to to treated black people.

        Jefferson who is a character in the novel got arrestedby the cops because they thought he had killed Mr Groupe who is the owner of the liquor store. I have a feeling that black people were only capable of working in land or plantation because of their color and the fact that they did not have a higher education.

        People should not be judged by the color of their skin because we can be black outside and be white in the inside. The inteligence of a human been is what should be matter to others but not were we come from and the color of our skin.

If Hunger Had A Color, What Color Would It Be?

       As a young teenager in high school if i had to picked the color of hanger i would say it is black. Since i was a child growing up in my country, i had never had the opportunity to called someone dad or presents someone as my father. This lives me with a hunger in my heart that would never go away.

       Compare to the story of Jefferson's, hunger is basically what gets into him that makes him react the way he do. The color black also remains to proverty. Sometimes, many of us when we think about hunger that are builds in our hearts makes us feels empty and also think what is the point of living. Everyday as i am trying to forgive what i have gone trow in the past makes me feels better about myself.

        Having a great on my sides that is supporting me in makes my hunger becomes the color of purple and i am glad about that situation. I think if Jefferson had a mother and a father on his sides things would have went the way they did.
