Question One-Must be at least 600 words
Traditionally,
history is presented from a top-down perspective. That is, we see
history through the eyes of the leaders, the famous, the wealthy, the
movers and shakers, etc.. However, Coming of Age presents history
from the bottom-up – from the common man’s point of view. Explain the
differences between the two points-of-views, showing how the text book
teaches you about the Civil Rights Movement, its leaders, its groups,
its events, etc. and how Anne Moody discusses the same or similar
events, groups and leaders. (For example, which perspective is
emotional, which is objective, which is balanced? etc..; how does the
text book discusses Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, SNCC, March on
Washington, etc. versus how Moody relates them?)
Question 2- Must be at least 300 words
Describe
how each of the following people positively influenced the life of Anne
Moody: The Clairbornes, the Johnsons, Mrs. Burke, and Wayne Burke. (25)
