In the beginning of the story a young immature boy named Phillip, when stranded with Timothy he shows his inexperience by judging Timothy by the color of his skin.

The essay “The Church and Prejudice” written by Frederick Douglass, and the essay “Ending His Fast” written by Cesar Chavez both had major impacts on the people of their time and on ones for many years to come. Types of speeches and essays like these helped spread awareness and led to the eventual change in the stance of modern day churches. They both talk about forms of civil rights for the minorities from the church, but they do differ on the subject of different ethnicities and life factors that were written about.

Words have the power to inspire, provoke, and calm people both physically and mentally. This fact is evident through various historical events throughout the Civil Rights period, specifically when racial rights were being fought for. “The Letter to Birmingham Jail”, The “I Have a Dream” Speech, and the children's crusade, recounted in the “The Year that Changed Everything” text, all show how powerful words are. Whether through inspiration, provocation, or calming, these texts show that words can do these things mentally and physically.

In Martin Luther King Jr’s writing he writes about three ways people resist oppression, which can relate a lot to today’s society also. The three ways he writes about are people accept the doom of being repressed, people fight in a violent way against the oppression, and finally people fight in nonviolent matter against the oppression.

The violent way is sadly the most common one with riots breaking out, and what would have been a peaceful protest turning into something much more violent. Examples of violent protesting recently are certain Black Lives Matters protest that have gone too far, and eventually lead to injury or people dying.

The ninety-five Theses were written by Martin Luther. He didn’t like the way the church was. He thought that they were getting over on the people. For instance they had you pay for someone else’s sins.

12 Years A Slave by Solomon Northup is the life story of the author about a free man who was kidnapped and sold to be a slave. Northup was born in New York in 1808. Solomon was a husband to Ann Hampton who he married at the age of 21 and a father of 3 children Elizabeth, Margaret, and Alonzo.
