Briton Hammon’s “Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon”: Against the Status Quo
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Briton Hammon’s narrative and elements which seem to go against the norms of the time. Briton Hammon’s narrative of his thirteen years at sea seems in many ways to go against the norms of society believed to have existed at that time. Hammon, a slave, was released by his Master to serve at sea. Throughout the narrative, Hammon relates his treatment and his impression of others as if he is a British citizen and this is reflected in his story. Although it appeared he wished to go to sea at the beginning, his final passages express his relief and gratitude for being returned to his Master and his “Native” land, America. Hammon’s story breaks with the status quo and the impressions of the time in that not only was he the first African American prose writer, he also considered himself properly treated by his Master, felt an alliance with Britain and America, was desired and sought after by the Indians and the Governor of Havana and received full wages for his work on the ships while serving Britain.

Charles Mingus’ Autobiography -- “Beneath the Underdog
[ send me this essay ]
His
World As Composed by Mingus: This 5 page report discusses the
autobiography of jazz musician Charles Mingus. Mingus takes many
unexpected turns and strange detours in telling his life story,
just as he did in “telling” his musical interpretations. His
telling bends and molds facts to his own purposes as if they too
were musical notes. The book makes the reader feel like a
voyeur peering into a great mind that had the capacity to blend
impulsiveness, fantasy, fact, and craziness into one package in
almost equal amounts. The end result blurs the lines of what is
real or not but the book makes it clear that for Mingus, at the
moment of his telling it, it was real enough. No secondary
sources.
