Assertion Analysis #3

I feel like John Steinbeck was trying to convey to the people that this country was never a socialism country. Since, the people feel in their minds that they are going to be millionaires however actually being used to be the working class by those who are!  The reality is that the people in America are being used to make this country but not credited or showcase by those who they work for. So i feel his idea of American people being exploited is true because there are hard working people that don't get the same amount of finances as those who don't work as hard.

Assertion Analysis #2

The point that Malcolm X is trying to convey in this quote is that people are not truly living in a society where everyone is free, but chained by the words and actions of the people. He proclaims that people and even himself is victim of America. When he uses that word victim it expands from just someone who was harmed to a people that are being down-class from society. He uses many words of diction in that quote. Another one is nightmare, when people came to this country many expressed this country to be a free nation however for the black man or colored; it was not a free nation. So instead of the Colored people having a dream they have to live in this nightmare were they are the victims. So his tone and diction really take this quote from just being a regular quote to a quote with passion and determination to pursue freedom.

Assertion Analysis #1

I feel like the speaker is declaring with this quote that there are two different views for America. The first one is the view of America's reality and the second is the view of the American Dream. If you look at society today we strive for a great dream for our country. However if you look at life today there is a big difference between the two. Life right now in America is a cover up for everything bad that's happening in society today. Many Problems in America have been taking place ever since this country has first started. The dream for America is a society that is free and that everyone is equal and fair chance. However if that is true, why is Latinos and African American's not having the same chances as the rich white child. We as a people have made this segregation by our hatred towards others and even ourselves. So if we want to see a new America or fulfill the dream we must see a new mindset for people in America.
