My autobiograpy

My name is Brooke Norton-Cuffy, I was born on the 12th of January 2004 and with great pleasure i will be presenting to you the story of my life.

My life started on that one night in Hammersmith hospital. The memories of when I was really young are brief because I don’t remember a lot. When I was young I had a deep love for sports. At 7 months old I began to walk, I developed really quickly. My first memories were of my brother Louis carrying me up and down the stairs on his back,he was only 3. I was born into a family with 3 brothers a loving dad and a caring mother. All of my brothers played sports so I guess I just followed.

Me and my brother Louis were inseparable we caused so much trouble, once we even turnt off all the lights at QPR academy whilst my older brother miles was on trial. Unfortunately at a very young age of 1 I was rushed to hospital because I could not breathe properly, it had something to do with my lungs. All of my family were in panic my heart stopped 3 times, the doctors thought it was over but I never gave up. As I grew up I found myself loving sports more and more. At a young age of 4 I was playing various sports such as gymnastics, trampolining, basketball, football and athletics. At the age of 6 I joined my first basketball team called warriors on the same year I got scouted by Fulham academy. My brother Louis was doing the exact same thing as me playing for Fulham and playing for warriors. This was hard as are timetables started to clash I chose football and my brother chose basketball.

At the age of 7 I was dedicated to football I was even doing 100 push ups and sit ups every night. For Fulham I was playing with the U9’s even though I was 7. At the end of the season I left Fulham as their top goalscorer and went to Chelsea. I signed for Chelsea which was a massive mistake because i never developed there. In primary school I was really smart I was in the top set for everything until year 3 then I started to slack off as I did not like the teacher. In primary school I was a really popular kid and everybody always wanted to be with me all the time. In year 5 I changed football team and joined arsenal academy after being at Chelsea for 3 years. My first game at arsenal I scored 7 goals and they signed me. Next game came by and I scored 15 goals, I felt like nothing could stop me but then in training I picked up a knee injury and was out for at least 4 months. It was the worst time of my life.

Year 6: I just finished moving houses, practically all of my life was spent at my nan and granddads. In year 6 my school football team won a football tournament and we were about to represent Westminster at the London school games. In year 6 I was looking forward to going to secondary school.I am at London nautical school and just got my 2 year contract at arsenal.

One day in a old village far far away an old killer was on the loose. His wife Sonia hadn’t seen her love of her life for many years and thought he would never get out of jail. He was meant to be doing life in jail but a riot in the prison had broke out and her wife broke out during all the fighting. Sonia had remarried when Jason got put in jail.Jason had been put in jail for man slaughter and assaulted battery. Jason had slit the mans throat sucked out all his blood and put him on the front porch. Eventually Jason came home and caught Sonia in bed with another man. Jason thought on pure instinct and attempted to kill the man he picked up a giant axe and swung for him 13 times. He was slicing at the body but the man kept on healing. The man stood up and said “hello Jason remember me” Jason dropped his axe and stared in disbelief. It was the same man he had killed all them years ago. Terrified Jason stood there as the man approached him. Both of them were never to be seen again. A rumor is if you go to that exact placed today blood pours out of the walls and then you disappear forever.

how is discrimination shown in roll of thunder hear my cry?

April 15, 2016 / / 2 Comments

In this essay I am going to be writing about Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and about how discrimination is shown in this book.This book was written in 1976 by Mildred D.Taylor. This story is a book of courage, love and pride. This book shows discrimination by having two separate schools one for black people and one for whites. Taylor was born in Jackson, Mississippi but moved when she was quite young. Most of her novels were based on stories she heard from her childhood. Mildred D. Taylor went to a college were she done a black studies course and that’s why she has all this knowledge today.

This book really gives you an insight of how things were in Mississippi, 1936 and how people were treated. Back then there was a lot of discrimination especially in Mississippi and almost all of it was targeted at black people. For example, the children would go to school everyday but the black people had to walk to school and the white people got a school bus funded by the government in Mississippi. As well as having to walk to school, the school bus full of white people would splash them every single day on purpose. The bus driver would try to entertain his passengers. It was as if they were watching a lion in a cage.

Back then white folks thought they were superior over blacks. It shows this in the book when Lillian Jean (a young girl the same age as Cassie) told her to get down onto the road because she was getting in the way of “decent white folk”. That shows how black people were thought of in the 1930s. It’s disgusting that a girl could be treated like that in the middle of a market and nobody even tried to stop it. Back then white folks had so much power that Cassie was made to say sorry to Lillian Jean for getting in the way of “decent white folks” and Big Ma couldn’t do anything about it because she knows the consequences of disobeying a white person.

It is really good to have books like this because it tells you about the struggles that black people had to deal with back in the 1930s. People were completely oblivious to the fact that black people were humans. That is shown in the book when Cassie went to the Barnett store to get some groceries and Mr.Barnett went to do everybody’s order instead of Cassie. So Cassie said “uh…’scuse me, Mr Barnett, ” really politely”I think you forgot, but you was waiting on us, before you was waiting on this girl here, and we been waiting a good while now for you to get back.” Mr Barnett looked at her strangely and turned around and got back to finishing the other girls order, totally oblivious that Cassie was speaking to him she said  “y-you was helping us, “stepping back from the counter in fright. Mr Barnett replied in a low angry voice and said “Well you just get your little black self back over there and wait some more.” This is a key example of discrimination because he let the white folks push in front of them and serve them first like they were high-class.

My conclusion is that discrimination is wrong. And this book shows me how black people were treated back in the 1930s and gives you an insight of what they had to go through. I think this book gives you a lot of knowledge about how people were treated in 1930s. Back then white people thought they were superior and this book allows you to see how black people dealt with discrimination. They acted in that way because they wanted to feel powerful. This book gives you a better perception of how the black folk dealt with things and how they had to live with caution. I think Mildred D.Taylor has done a good job of giving us an historical account of black life in the 1930s.
