Response Essay- "Momma, the Dentist, and Me" by Maya Angelou

Living in an age where racism, color discrimination and disparity are almost nonexistent the essay on ‘Momma, the Dentist and me’ is a touching account on the days bygone.

When the basic necessities like emergency health care are denied the child recounts the agony of pain and also the imaginative irony of revenge in a humorous way. This leads us to think that freedom, as we enjoy today – freedom from discrimination, to visit any place, freedom to ...

- The series of unfortunate events that she experienced in the doctor’s office, however, has wended her initial perception towards going to the dentist. From waiting to paying, she only felt discomfort and irritation from the whole process. Furthermore, despite being assured by the ...

The issue of bilingual learning has been a hot topic of debate for some time now. It is a consequence of the influx of immigrants into the United States whose first language is not English. Some people have felt that forcing them to learn a second language is stripping them of their heritage while others believe that the only way the immigrants can be fully assimilated is by learning English. I subscribe to Richard Rodriguez and Gloria Anzaldua posit in their essays “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” and “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” respectively, except for ...

As a child, I found it humbling how ants – those tiny creatures belonging to an ancient species – achieve huge goals by functioning as a harmonious collective. Humanity’s success as the master race on this planet also relies on our interdependence as a harmonious community, but crucially, the willingness to innovate and disseminate knowledge that distinguishes human beings from other living creatures. In my own case, to make myself of more worth to other people, I have never stopped pursuing knowledge through academic education, and more importantly, through real life experiences.

Life itself is the best school. When I explore ...

White Privilege in America

Despite it being an apparent long-standing marvel to individuals of color and as well white individuals, most people stereotypically and strongly oppose the issue of white privilege.

The world operates because of education. It has long been written that human intelligence holds the credit for the progression of man. We enhance this gift as soon as we enter school. We have spent almost a quarter of our lifetime inside the walls of learning institutions. With this, it is only right to strictly scrutinize the system to ensure quality teaching.
In my opinion, dominant incorporation of job training in college greatly diminishes the importance of theoretical knowledge. According to Pelling, a barber does a dentist’s job before the year 1800’s; they were branded ...

And it is Jasmin whom I want to discuss in my analysis.

Accurate recording and evaluation of the patient’s medical history is important in determining ...
