Summary of Night John :

Night John was about a man named John who ran to the north but came back to teach people how to read.(Specifically the people of the african descent) He said " They have to read and write, we all have to read and write so we can write about this- what they're doing to us, it has to be writen." One night when he forgot to come back after hanging with his girlfriend. They set the dogs after him to try and find him and the dogs ended up killing him and he tried to climb up a tree , but the dogs pulled him by his legs and killed him. He died in the tree that day.


Summary of Mascot :

The story, Mascot, was about Malcolm X's life. He wanted to become a lawyer, but he never did. Because the teacher told him that he couldnt become a lawyer because it just doesn't sound realistic for a black man to become successful in a job , back then , they thought was only fit for white man. He got alot of attention and all the kids loved him, probably cause he was the only black student in the school and people just automatically assumed that he was good at basketball and etc. He was with the sue-lings alot and he just couldn't understand why they treated him more as a pet rather than a human being. And would make rude remarks right in front of his face and acted like he couldn't understand.

Compare and Contrast the two stories to the movie :

The movie and 2 stories compared in many ways. One was because they were both talking about the discrimination of black people . And how they weren't treated with the same equal rights as the white people were. Also, it was also all around the same time period basically and the main ideas that you were able to grasp from each story/movie was bascially the same too. The way these movie/stories contrasted was because Night John was more about a black man coming back trying to help other black people because he felt like this would become epic someday. And the Mascot was about a young boy who was just treated disrespectfully and not given all the equal rights that a young white boy might recieve. The movie "The Great Debators" seemed like they had more equal rights, but were still treated wrong and easily discrimnated because of their skin color. But they actually had a chance because they were able to create their own Debate team and make something of their selves and all they had to do was prove that they were just as good as any white school out there.
