“The Medicine Bag” by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a kid name Martin. He has a Sioux grandpa who lives on a reservation, and he loves to tell many stories of him. However, many of the stories he tells to his friends are exaggerated to the point that the person his friends think his grandpa is like, is nowhere close to the reality of Martin’s grandpa. This is fine when his grandpa lives on the reservation, but his grandpa decided to come to Martin’s house. Not wanting his friends to see that his grandpa was not as good as he told, Martin pretends his grandpa isn’t at his house and doesn’t treat him with respect. He is embarrassed and obsessed because of his Grandpa. The story shows us the theme that you shouldn’t be embarrassed of you ancestry.
The line from “The Medicine Bag” that best illustrates Martin’s conflict with his Grandpa’s arrival is:
“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”
Martin always lied about his grandpa not being there when his friends came to meet him, and in this time he saw no scaping from the situation, more than "wanting to sink his head through the pavement"
Answer:
Black musicians had to face racial segregation, racism and the artistic devaluation of their work.
Explanation:
During the Harlem Renaissance, jazz became a very popular song in the black community. The black musicians were brilliant and extremely talented and were able to compose exciting and completely admirable music. Over time, this song started to please the white US elect who started to hire black musicians to play in bars and restaurants. However, blacks were not allowed in these places because of the great racism and social segregation that were established in America. The white elite, however, allowed black musicians to enter these places so that they could entertain white guests with music, which was not artistically valued, but seen as mere entertainment and a way to keep blacks working for whites.
The difference would exist because many people back in the days treated blacks poorly and when that i why us blacks are offended by the word "niger." people who can be kind to the black students for instance give the black homeless money or provide the homeless children with an education something grateful at least those people will be treated like treasure HOPE THIS HELPED
