What's The Difference

Authors Note: This essay is about how people lose their innocence just because of how they look or how their a bit different.

  In the world humans are segregated from innocent and not so innocence. Some people are born innocent, others are not as lucky. Willy Freeman, was not one of the lucky ones. She was born African American, in a time where African Americans weren’t well loved. Because of this Willy lost a deep loss of innocence.

            Another example of people who have lost their innocence like Willy, are On April 12, 1861, the civil war broke out. The North fought   the south to free the slaves; this is a great example of discrimination against looks. Hundreds of thousands, little miracles died to make a point that African Americans don’t have a beating heart, don’t deserve a life. This is just wrong, that humans got judged on the color of their skin, and the worst part is, they thought it was right. Why this relates to Willy is that she had a tough time in society not making it through based on looks and background.

            Next, the holocaust, Adolf Hitler set a mission to make all the Jewish people in Europe by making them suffer at concentration camps. Millions of Jews died from starvation, dehydration, and forced death. Just because they had a different religion doesn’t mean they deserved to suffer, to die, and to be separated from their loved ones. Once again people judged thinking oh yea they don’t matter their different from us. Like Willy people just assumed because they are a bit different they deserve to be mistreated in a hatred way.

These two distinctive points led to the reasoning that people should have not killed Willy’s parents because their black or because their American. If people were to just open up their eyes see behind all their thoughts and assuming and see them for what they really are, as a nation and a world we can grow up in a safe enviorment.
