Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Uncle Tom's Children/Uncle Tom's Cabin Assignment. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

ies “Big Boy Leaves Home” and “Down by the Riverside,” Wright uses the technique of literary realism to illustrate just how terrible the treatment of black people by white people really was.

To realistically portray his characters, Wright replicated the vernacular that they would have spoke. For instance, when the character Big Boy from “Big Boy Leaves Home” is thinking to himself about what to do in his situation, it is presented to us in the way that he would actually speak it out loud: “Bobod bringa gun. he knowed he would.

By portraying the characters’ speech in the way they would have actually spoken, Wright added a layer of realism to these characters and stories that served to further immerse the readers in the lives of these characters.

When the characters come across a no trespassing sign, the character Buck matter of factly states that it “Means ain no dogs n niggers erllowed” (23), and none of the other characters think twice about it. This means that they all realize that white people consider
