Strange Fruit Paragraph

The author was sending a message that the people from the south back then were cruel to blacks and would kill them. Mrs. Holiday easily convinced people that whites were mean in that time frame because of the detailed and gory description on how they would kill blacks. The way she compared things showed how the whites thought by doing this was normal and noble. The way Billie worded the poem showed/told how much they suffered. The worst thing about whites killing blacks is that they thought they were being heroic and it was a "pretty" scene in the south. What white southerners did to blacks was insanely terrible and Billie Holiday described it well in her poem "Strange Fruit."

Vocab Story 1

My Grandpa is a very important person in my life but lately he has had some bad luck and has been on a roller coaster ride of misfortune. It all started out one day when he was masquerading my grandma. He would imitate her laugh and walk just like how she did. She walks funny because she got a knee and hip replacement. My grandpa is very sweet and innocuous guy who couldn't even hurt a fly but he looks like a scary man. My grandma got really upset with him and she thought he was the most annoying person ever. I thought she was going to maim him! I told her not to hurt sweet old grandpa but she did. She kicked him and punched him but something terrible happened. She tripped on the rug flew out the window (which was two inches off the ground) then grandpa went to go and help her but she spit her acid saliva in his face which left him blind and battered. My grandpas aplomb was at an all time low because he didn't just get beat up by a girl but by a grandpa. Every time he saw any of his friends they would make fun of him and now he barley comes out of the house. One thing that I was enlightened on about my grandpa was that he got his vision back! That is the only good luck he has had in a long time. When my grandma informed me about his vision I was thrilled but she didn't seem to care.
