Langston Hughes's stories deal with and serve as a commentary of conditions befalling African Americans during the Depression Era. As Ostrom explains, "To a great degree, his stories speak for those who are disenfranchised, cheated, abused, or ignored because of race or class." (51) Hughes's stories speak of the downtrodden African-Americans neglected and overlooked by a prejudiced society. The recurring theme of powerlessness leads to violence is exemplified by the actions of Sargeant in "On the Road", old man Oyster in "Gumption", and the robber in "Why, You Reckon?"
<span>Hughes's "On the Road" explores what happens when a powerless individual takes action on behalf of his conditions. The short story illustrates the desperation and consequent violent actions of one man's homeless plight on a snowy winter evening.</span>
Answer:
The argument in favor of social media use is the stronger argument. The article claims that students do better in school when they use social media. The author gives anecdotal evidence that students use social media to discuss classwork, then uses empirical evidence to show that grades went up in a study where students used social media. The argument against social media is weak because it lacks specific evidence. The writer uses the rhetorical device of parallelism to list a variety of ill effects of social media use. However, the writer never offers any evidence for these negative effects. This writer uses the bandwagon fallacy by telling the audience that most people who want to do well do not use social media.

I am just a year older than you, and I have dealt with all of the bullyings I can handle and more. One thing you can do is be apart of a group instead of putting yourself on your own where it is easier to get targeted. Talk to an adult if it keeps happening. Something I did was talk to everyone in each class (unless you are the same people all day) and evaluate who would be a good friend. If they come off as sweet but show malice to others, avoid them. Also, avoid people who come off as disrespectful to their elders. They will only end up being the one doing something wrong and pinning it on you. message me if you want to talk about any specifics because I can help with tons of situations. if you need someone to vent it to you can talk to me! ;)
