In the many novels that we have read throughout this semester there are a lot of topics that you see within the novels. There are topics such as migration, dealing with death, gender, racial, pain and also the impact of racism. These are only a couple of topics that are talk about in the books. But my question is why are some of these topics found in a lot of black literature. I think that because of the time period, that these authors were living in they could only talk about topics that surrounded their every day life. It has been shown in a lot of the different novels that we have read. What I see most in them is the impact that racism has in a lot of people. I feel that the writes tied this in to the novels or short stories because they were trying to reach the majority of public with the truth that was not to be told. The author that wrote a about such topics like the one I mentioned above, could not get lot of recognition. Critics would say that they have to get away from the ideas of writing about racial issues because that not what the majority of the public wanted to talk about. They couldn’t get away from these many topics because in the time period people were being brought down in a major way. The only way for the author to express what they were going through was to tell was happening through novel and stories. In the some of the novels or stories death was happen at least one time. I felt because people were died so much every one had to find a way to deal with the death. People were being killed so much for the tiniest things. They were getting killed for talking in the wrong tone, or giving a dirty look. The authors of this book I feel wrote some of these topics in their books because they really wanted to get a point across.
Getting a point across!
