Answer:
The Welfare people made constant visits to the family home and look at them as if they are inferior to them. They also present Mrs. Little of being insane and admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
Explanation:
"The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Malcolm X and Alex Haley was a book that details the life of Malcolm Little from his childhood till his later years. The book became one of the most read and the most sought non-fictional book of all times.
Even though it was a product of Haley's interview with Malcolm, the book was directly addressed to the readers making it easily relatable to them. In chapter I of the book, Malcolm mentions one instance when the State Welfare people used to visit their home. He remembered how they looked at them "<em>in a way that had about it the feeling-at least for me-that we were not people. In their eyesight we were just _things_, that was all</em>". He also stated "<em>acted as if they owned us, as if we were their private property</em>."
After their mother, he became the target of the Welfare people due to his stealing. They also reported to the government that their mother Mrs. Little "<em>was losing their mind</em>". All of these acts by the Welfare people made their life miserable.
The State does not continue to do so as most of the Welfare organisations/ people are more sympathetic to the cause of the welfare of the people.
Answer:
Hannah woke up and realized something -- today was her friend's birthday! And she hasn't even gotten her a present yet. The part wouldn't start till two, so she had plenty of time. Hannah quickly got dressed and combed her hair. She went out the door before even having breakfast so she could get to the store before there were a line of shoppers.
:) Dunno if you wanted a short story or not.
In my opinion, the second main argument in "The Human Drift" is that human wandering across the planet, back and forth, has always been fueled by fear, while motivated by the search of food (as the first argument says). It is a primal fear that, if you don't eat, you will end up in someone else's stomach. Here is a nice excerpt that illustrates this argument: "Dominated by fear, and by their very fear accelerating their development, these early ancestors of ours, suffering hunger-pangs very like the ones we experience to-day, drifted on, hunting and being hunted, eating and being eaten, wandering through thousand-year-long odysseys of screaming primordial savagery, until they left their skeletons in glacial gravels, some of them, and their bone-scratchings in cave-men's lairs."
