Classwork Paragraph

A statement made by Barbara: “The problem with black people is that if someone gets a little more than them, everybody jump on him saying he thinks he’s better and all”. Do you find that statement true, and how can Hope in the Unseen motivate you to rise above the fray and leave the haters behind?

The quote “The problem with black people is that if someone gets a little more than them, everybody jump on him saying he thinks he’s better and all” is true due to the fact that they usually are a minority and judge each other instead of helping give a sign of gratitude . Cedric Jennings in A Hope in the Unseen is proof of that, and someone like you may be able to accomplish this with a few reasons. First is that someone of minority in a school that does not have an abundant who don’t graduate, but the student is not a minority by race at all. For example, for someone like Cedric’s social status he was called “whitey” which meant that he was classed by the rest of the school as a white kid because of his smarts. In addition, for someone made fun of their smarts and intellect should not take it personally and keep going because they will find themselves in a great and successful paying job. Next I agree with his quote is because he Cedric realized how people treated him physically for it, one time he got beat up by someone for the sake of a calculator that he won. The reason why was because the wanted to be able to use it and Cedric said no. In addition, to be able to keep those people away from you is key, try to not even say a word to them because if you acknowledge them by answering them you could get in trouble, but by keeping on walking you won’t have to usually deal with someone. Finally I agree with his quote is because I went to a school where I was a minority and had to deal with it going on in my school. Also I had to deal with friends who would fight like this because someone was better than someone else, which usually got me stuck in the middle, talk about a rock stuck in between a hard place. In addition someone can be motivated to avoid this fighting is step in and talk with them and have a peer meeting discussing both of their success.
