Black people are always told they will never prosper in life during the 1800s. They are never respected by anyone but their own race. In The Atlanta Exposition Address, Washington addresses the white audience about how blacks should be treated and what they only want out of it. The Northern and Southern white leaders supported booker T. Washington. His “Atlanta Compromise” speech was the most important and influential of modern speeches concerning the American Negro in United States history.
First hand, Washington recognizes who his audience is. He notices that he is speaking to a predominately-white audience. Because of this, he is very careful with what words (diction) he uses. “I but convey to you, Mr. President and Directors, the sentiment of masses of my race when I say to that in no way have the value and manhood of the American Negro been more fittingly and generously recognized than by the managers of the magnificent Exposition.” He uses Negro instead of blacks; he refers to the white men as Presidents and Directors instead of Mr. Washington has been waiting on an opportunity such as this, to him it can be considered an honor. He is speaking for those of the African American race, the voice of the people. He often expressed that black people are patient and they do what their master or owner tell them what to do.

The Yellow Wallpaper Response
Little things in life can drive a person nut, bonkers, and just simply crazy. The Yellow Wallpaper was a story about an unknown narrator and her husband, John, who lived in this colonial mansion, which was used, stated by John, as a place to help her by recuperate from her sickness. Later, she finds something very peculiar in the house or the room she reside in. john, being the type of person he was, did not pay her any attention when she seem to complain or make note of something she did not like. She suffers from a disorder that has symptoms of fatigue and depression. He did not allow her to do anything because she was ill. In fact, she believed work would have sped up her recovery. (Gilman) She later focuses on the house and talk about how beautiful it is and what surrounded it. She becomes very obsessed with the fact that the peculiar wallpaper has a meaning and in the story, she reveals what the wallpaper means and why it has significance.
Gilman expresses her feelings toward her husband. Readers would see him as showing tough love and others would view as arrogant and selfish. “John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures.” She explains her husband as being selfish and likes to put down people who feels bad in someway or another. He feels that nothing seems to be wrong with her, but the fact that she could just be crazy. “If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression -- a slight hysterical tendency.” They laugh at the fact something could be actually wrong with her but being the doctor he is, he is not buying one minute of it. “He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get. “ Your exercise depends on your strength, my dear," said he, "and your food somewhat on your appetite; but air you can absorb all the time." He blames her for the reason they live in the house to begin with. It is like giving someone a gift that they always wanted and now they complain about it in return.
Throughout the story, the wallpaper seems to have a symbolic form about it. It is mention through the story as irritating and has outrageous angles. The wallpaper, she discovers, has a deep meaning under the surface. She states that the deeper meaning of the wallpaper grows clearer each day. (Gilman) The confusing pattern, which resembles her chaotic mind, appears as an image of a woman “stooping down and creeping around).” (Gilman) Every story seems to have a symbolic symbol. Later in the story the sunlight and the moonlight become a factor of symbolism. This begins to clear up the meaning of the wallpaper. “By moonlight -- the moon shines in all night when there is a moon -- I wouldn't know it was the same paper.” (Gilman) The moonlight gives the wallpaper a whole lot of meaning verses the sunlight. “At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candle light, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be.” (Gilman)The moonlight gives the woman on the paper some meaning to the paper on the exterior as plain. “By daylight, she is subdued, quiet. I fancy it is the pattern that keeps her so still. It is so puzzling. It keeps me quiet by the hour.” (Gilman) The sunlight turns the woman into a quiet mode and makes the wallpaper so fancy that she begins to observe it with no sleep.
In conclusion, the narrator begins pulling off the wallpaper and she frees the woman from the dreadfulness she endured. Along with that, the narrator seems to cure her own self. Being drove completely insane and no one believes you is like crying wolf.

APA Annotated Bibliography For Career Sources
Wardell, W. I., & Wood, A. L. (1956). The Extra-professional role of the lawyer. The American Journal of Sociology , 61. Retrieved November 14, 2008, from Jstor database.
In this article, it summarizes how a lawyer should portray her or himself in the field. Being a lawyer is a professional role but there is an Extra- professional part of the role. In it was stated that a lawyer is expected to do certain things not part of his technical work but demanded of him simply because he is a lawyer. Even though a lawyer has a specific duty they have to achieve, there are other roles that are not clearly expressed. A lawyer’s extra- professional role is to others who represent a person in court to prove their side of the case. They should be primarily interested in the client’s case, not in his client as a person. Because if he was actually caught up in the client’s emotional problems or should develop an affective relationship with his client, he will not be able to assume the professional role of providing him the legal service needed. Another main point is the lawyer’s role is non-political and commutative service involved. They are mainly involved in roles of helping the community, rather than being a political figure to community members. Lastly, to what extent are there social pressures on the lawyer to fulfill this extra-professional role? The answers to these are interviews with lawyers who reveal a wide range of attitudes; it is not about the money, but the hard work dedicated, and the long useful hours of work of a lawyer. In this article, it was the most helpful. I do not think I could add anything new because it stated the general facts of becoming a lawyer, who you rely on, and how to maintain the position. This includes adding to the conversation. This article helps me understand the role of becoming a lawyer. There is a professional role and an extra-professional role. Being a lawyer is a hard job, but you have to learn to love it. It is not about the money you make and the cases you won, but what it took to win the cases and earning the money. The long hours and being committed is really all that matters and maintain a good lifestyle in the community is being helpful and non-political.
Puffer, E. H. (1942). A Great business lawyer. Bullentin of the Business Historical Society,16.Retrieved November 14, 2008, from Jstor database.
In this short article, it was about a business lawyer named Webster. He made good business deals and settled cases with people for large settlements. Since Webster frequently drew on his business friends for large amounts, there were papers that may have little connection with the legal work, which he performed for the leading business persons of Boston. (Puffer, 1942)Each paper was worth $3000 to $5000 a piece. (Puffer, 1942)The papers were legal documents written for cases and when he won, he received large amounts of commission. One paper he drew up was on July 19, 1824 was worth $4000. Instead, he found out it was used in the Florida Treaty of 1819. In court, that his document was legal and it included valid claims of Americans for damages or injuries suffered prior to 1819. The United States Government agreed to pay him $5000 for it. (Puffer, 1942)More than Webster being a business lawyer, he is a constitutional lawyer. He was a counsel to many famous cases such as Dartmouth v. Woodard, McCullough v. Maryland, and Gibbons v. Ogden; he took a part in erecting the legal institutional foundation on which American business has built. (Puffer, 1942)In the article, a lot is missing such as what he did to become a great business lawyer and what he does with his achievements. It was also not stated who help him on this journey to become what he is now. All of these things listed would be what I would add to make the conversation better. This probably would benefit me as a motivation to help me understand that anyone can become successful in any career including becoming a notorious lawyer.
Reed, J. P. (1969). The Lawyer-client: a managed relationship? The Academy of Management Journal,12. Retrieved November 14, 2008, from Jstor database.
In this article, a lawyer must have a professional relationship established between the two people. If the lawyer does not keep everything under control then their would be nothing established or anything fulfilled. Written in the article, having a managed relationship is nothing new, but the reason has never been stated why. (Reed, 1969)The relationship should be viewed from a strictly ethical, substantive, or procedural law vantage point or from a non-client community. This meant that how you maintain yours, others view a relationship differently. Its also depends on the importance of the lawyer’s ethnic, image, and his profession. There have been experiments on the relationships. If a lawyer failed to respond, he was periodically sent a follow-up letter on how to change. (Reed, 1969) It is like re-applying for your certification again. Analytically the lawyer-client relationship may be broken down into a number of parts. All relationships have a beginning and an end, a life span, and a tone or texture. If these parts are linked with the attributes of a lawyer’s role then they produce different actions and these determined the managed relationship. Initiating the relationship starts with one resource and ends with one resource. The lawyer’s resources are chiefly his time, skills, and knowledge. If the lawyer managed his time, skills, and knowledge with his clients then there is an established bond. (Reed, 1969)There are downsides to initiating a relationship. If the lawyer does not accept the client, the most consideration was the adversity of the party. The client’s case did not either come through like expected or there was a lack of commitment involved. This article lacked a lot of information such as why the relationship could not be established. In addition, what was missing is that it was not stated how to maintain the relationship of a lawyer and his client. I would add how to maintain the relationship once established. In addition, I would add that the relationship should be non-physical but beneficial. This article did help me understand my career. It showed how the lawyer and the client must have a managed relationship. In addition to this, the relationship must be a business only rather than personal level.

Warner, J. B. (1897). The Responsibilities of the lawyer. International Journal of Ethnics , 7. Retrieved on November 14, 2008, from Jstor database.
In this article, it talks about what are the key responsibilities of a lawyer. The main responsibility of his role is not clearly stated such as a role of a teacher, clergyman, or solider is clearly agreed on, not mention occupations of which the range is less wide. Lawyers are fulfilling an obligation of standing in the places of people to help win an argument or a settlement. Being a lawyer is a very conflicting position. You have others lives in jeopardy if you do not get them out of a particular situation the client might become furious. Then you have your life to depend on too. You have your family to worry about also, but if you put your job first then there is no family to kick back and relax with. A lawyer can limit how many cases he gets a month rather than fighting for one case a day if it is that long. A lawyer has another obligation as meeting the firms’ requirements such as commission and how much money brought into the firm. If the requirement is not met at a certain point in time then pay could be deducted or possibility of being fired. (Warner, 1897) This is given to the lawyer as an opportunity to make things better with their jobs. This is given to them because that is something, their career,they will have to accept. There are upsides of the career. Which are the good pay, the promotion of the field, and overall happiness of doing something you wanted to do. I would add more likeness of the career than downfalls because then this would make others not seem interested. That is all that would be missing. Of course it was very lenghthy and took a lot to read, but it was informative. This article helped me understand my career in many ways. It made sure that all the downfalls were stated and what it took to maintain the position of a lawyer. The duties and the responsibilities of a successful lawyer. I understand that it takes a lot to become a lawyer and not everyone can fulfill that dream.

Kate Chopin's Comparison
Have you ever read a story that sound so familiar to you? Many authors write stories according to their life, own experiences, and events. Kate Chopin relayed her stories according to special events in her life. When she wrote, “The Awakening.” the story was a New Orleans woman who was infamous in the French Quarter. Death came through her family like water and how it flows in a river. She used these feelings and channeled them into stories of her own. This is because it was something she experienced by her and she knew all about that woman who lived there. Her life could have had an effect on, “The Story of An Hour”, because it talks about a future death verses her actual life and the deaths that occurred.
In “The Story of An Hour”, Mrs. Mallard was having a random moments about her soul being free. “Free! Body and soul free! She kept whispering.” She wanted her body and soul to be set free from any given emotions or extremities of the life with her and Mr. Mallard. This story could have been a great effect on her life. Kate Chopin’s husband adored her in everyway. Her intelligence started at a young age and continue to progress as she got older. “He adored his wife, admired her independence and intelligence, and “allowed” her unheard of freedom.” He did not stop her from doing anything during their marriage, but the difference is that she did not anticipate on her husband dying (in her biography). What should be compared is that, between the lines, she could have been struggling to cope with his death and could not live with it. Instead, she used her emotions for good and wrote on paper. She turned her life into a library of works to show that death will not keep her down.
Ever since birth, she has seen it all and heard it all. After birth, she has been seeing death like crazy. “Her sisters died in infancy and her brothers died in their early twenties.” (Wyatt) She was the only child from her mother to live past her twenties. She lost her husband of twelve years, her mother, and grandmother. She did not let this keep her grounded for long. The Story of an Hour did not convey ways of being an example of Cult of True Womanhood. Because Mr. Mallard did not hold her hostage from anything or anyone, he just simply was not around. In Chopin’s biography, her husband respected her and gave her the rights a woman should deserve. Being a woman, during these times, showed hate and made women feel less of them.
Chopin showed happiness throughout her life and did not let anything stop her. She stuck by her children’s side and held on. Even though the passage could be considered a contradiction of love and hated, they still exhibit the character she inherited. The life of Kate Chopin is very rare and you could never find an author to compare.

Disturbia Character Analysis
In the movie, "Disturbia”, starring Shia LeBeouf is about a teenager who thinks that he lives next door to a murderer. Shia’s character, Kale, plays teenager is put on house arrest, while in the meantime he has to find something constructive to do. His role was something every actor should portray… simplicity. He had added authencity to his role and it seems like that movie watchers would actually feel like their in a movie. His character was realistically because most roles for actors are to be themselves without overdoing it and bring the crowd in. Kale used a lot detail in the film to make it seem like he was a real person portraying himself. As everyone thinks, what is an actor actually thinking? He used a lot of stress when the girl moved in. People could see that is how he reacts to things like these things. Everyone can see that he is like your average teenager, but on TV.

"Aren't I A Woman" Comparison
When the 50 Essays book edits Sojourner Truth's essay, they take away from the original meaning from her actual speech. Although, the reading of her speech was easy, it still took away from its originality. The speech written in the book relayed her message, if you wanted the condensed version of the original speech. The original text expresses a deeper meaning of the speech. A lot of people may have edited how she spoke because it was hard to understand. In the original version, they had, in parenthesis, what and how the crowd reacted to her speech. A lot of them were cheering and a lot of their “jeers and sneers turned into cheers.” (Original Speech) They speech rewritten in 50 Essays looses it appeals to emotion with the audience because it leaves out the actual words used, one deleted paragraph and omitted lines which made her more credible. Her original words added meaning, character, and brought life to those sitting in the audience.
