What are three examples of Jim Crow Laws in the novel, A Lesson Before Dying?

Answer:

Explanation:

    The Jim Crow Laws were first introduced in 1875; their purpose was to have “seperate but equal” public facilities for the black and white citizens. In theory these laws were supposed to create equal facilities for everyone, this was not the case. Black facilities were rarely equal to the white facilities; they were usually of lesser quality compared to the white facilities. Thus, the African American population were forced to use inferior facilities or not use any facilities at all. Signs marked “white” or “colored” or “whites only” were everywhere, visible symbols of segregation. Sometimes laws indicated where these signs should be placed. Many of the signs went up just because people wanted to emphasize the “unwritten” laws. For African Americans, such signs were a constant reminder that they were second class citizens and inferior to the white peoples.  The Jim Crow Laws remained in effect until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Significance to the Theme of Injustice

    The African Americans were often forced to use the inferior quality facilities, while the white peoples had the better quality facilities given to them. The Jim Crow Laws affected every aspect of the African American peoples lives, from education to political to religious to social to shopping to behavior,  basically everything in their daily lives. If African Americans defied or broke the Jim Crow Laws, they were put in jail, shot at, beaten or lynched. In order to avoid losing their jobs, lives, or homes; black people usually accepted the Jim Crow Laws. “[We] had to act…just as though everything was all right. [My family] had to do whatever the white man directed [them] to do, couldn't voice their heart’s desire. That was the way of life that I was born and raised into.”, said Ned Cobb. These laws favored the whites over the blacks, making the black peoples lives very hard and full of discrimination at every corner. "White" or "Colored" signs were everywhere, a constant reminder of the segregation of the white peoples and the black peoples. The Jim Crow Laws portrayed the racial injustice being done to the black peoples by the authority and the white peoples.

Significance to the Novel

     The Jim Crow Laws were part of the character's lives in the novel. When Grant describes going to Bayonne, he says:

   " The courthouse was there; so was the jail. There was a Catholic church uptown for whites; a Catholic church back of town for colored. There was a white movie theater uptown; a colored movie theater back of town. There were two elementary schools uptown, one catholic, one public, for whites; and the same back of town for colored. Bayonne’s major industries were a cement plant, a sawmill, and a slaughterhouse, mostly for hogs. There was only one main street in Bayonne, and it ran along the St. Charles river."

In this particular quotation we see that the town of Bayonne was divided into separate areas for the white and black peoples. The seperation of the these facilities was due to the segregation of both races. Even in the jailhouse there is segregation:

   "We followed him down a long, dark corridor, passing offices with open doors, and bathrooms for white ladies and white men. At the end of the corridor we had to go up a set of stairs. [...] The white prisoners were also on this floor, but in a seperate section. I counted eight cells for black prisoners, with two bunks to each cell."

    As we can see, every single facility had seperate areas for the both races. No facility was left unsegregated. This shows how even in the novel, Jim Crow Laws were in effect.

Relationship between the Theme and the Novel

    The relationship of the Jim Crow Laws between the theme of injustice and the novel is that the Jim Crow Laws represent one of the particular racial injustices that the African Americans had to face daily.  The novel shows instances of unjust segregation of the school system, where the black schools received hand me down books and supplies from the white schools. When Grant asks about this, the superintendent simply shrugs his comment away, the superintendent does not care whether the black schools have adequate supplies and books to teach. The white authority during that time simply could not think of the black people as their equal, they simply regarded them in the same way as they had during the slave time. This injustice plays a big role in the way Miss Emma, Tante Lou and Grant act towards the white people. Jefferson also faces the injustice of the Jim Crow Laws, in the trial the jury was all white men and even though the defense attorney should have spent more time defending Jefferson he only degrades Jefferson likening him to a hog and saying that Jefferson has no knowledge and is not worthy of being called a man. Overall we can see that the Jim Crow Laws truly does represent a relationship between the theme and the novel.

TRANSCRIPT:
Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hard-working,
intricately fair-minded, and, most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. I think, therefore, you have the right
to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort. The ministry of magic
does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so, I think, would be an insult to his memory. Now, the pain we all
feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us, that while we may come from different places and speak in
different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events, the bonds of friendship we made this year will be
more important than ever. Remember that and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. Remember that and we'll
celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end.

What are the Onomatopoeia(s)

6. When Rebecca heard that she got the lead in the play, it was like music to her ears.
what literary device does this sentence use

This short answer pertains to "Broadway Cars"

In paragraph 9 and 10, what rhetorical device (figurative language), does the author rely on to convey the crowding and speed of the cable car?


Under Grand Central's tattered vault
—maybe half a dozen electric stars still lit—
one saxophone blew, and a sheer black scrim
billowed over some minor constellation
under repair. Then, on Broadway, red wings
in a storefront tableau, lustrous, the live macaws
preening, beaks opening and closing
like those animated knives that unfold all night
in jewelers' windows. For sale,
glass eyes turned outward toward the rain,
the birds lined up like the endless flowers
and cheap gems, the makeshift tables
of secondhand magazines
and shoes the hawkers eye
while they shelter in the doorways of banks.
So many pockets and paper cups
and hands reeled over the weight
of that glittered pavement, and at 103rd
a woman reached to me across the wet roof
of a stranger's car and said, I'm Carlotta,
I'm hungry. She was only asking for change,
so I don't know why I took her hand.
The rooftops were glowing above us,
enormous, crystalline, a second city
lit from within. That night
a man on the downtown local stood up
and said, My name is Ezekiel,
I am a poet, and my poem this evening is called
fall. He stood up straight
to recite, a child reminded of his posture
by the gravity of his text, his hands
hidden in the pockets of his coat.
Love is protected, he said,
the way leaves are packed in snow,
the rubies of fall. God is protecting
the jewel of love for us.
He didn't ask for anything, but I gave him
all the change left in my pocket,
and the man beside me, impulsive, moved,
gave Ezekiel his watch.
It wasn't an expensive watch,
I don't even know if it worked,
but the poet started, then walked away
as if so much good fortune
must be hurried away from,
before anyone realizes it's a mistake.
Carlotta, her stocking cap glazed
like feathers in the rain,
under the radiant towers, the floodlit ramparts,
must have wondered at my impulse to touch her,
which was like touching myself,
the way your own hand feels when you hold it
because you want to feel contained.
She said, You get home safe now, you hear?
In the same way Ezekiel turned back
to the benevolent stranger.
I will write a poem for you tomorrow,
he said. The poem I will write will go like this:
Our ancestors are replenishing
the jewel of love for us.
