Joe Turner’s Come and Gone: rough draft
In Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, August Wilson teaches us many things. One of them is to know who you are. Wilson created many characters that are searching for their identity, whether it’s societal, familial, or personal. In August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone he uses identity to show that people need to find out who they are.

Free blacks come to the city to make lives for themselves. They want to make money and raise families without prejudice. But more than that, they are searching for an identity beyond their ancestors being slaves.

This book/play takes place in Pittsburg, Virginia in the year 1911. Slavery is illegal at this time, but a man named Joe Turner captures blacks and enslaves them for many years. The blacks tend to lose their identity once released from Joe Turner’s chain gang. Other characters in this book/play may be younger so they still have time to create a distinct identity for themselves.

(continue)Everyone has a song deep within them, it defines who you are. A man named of Herald Loomis forgot his song during his seven year time in Joe Turner’s chain gang. He has been drained of almost everything that defines him. A man named Bynum said that Loomis “now he’s [Joe Turner] got you bound up to where you can’t sing your own song. Couldn’t sing it them seven years ‘cause you was afraid he would snatch it from under you. But you still got it. You just forgot how to sing it” (act 2; scene 2).

Herald Loomis doesn’t know where his wife is because when Joe Turner released him she was gone. He believes that if he sees her everything will be okay. He will be able to start over with a clean slate and begin his journey of finding his identity. When he sees his wife, Martha Pentecost he gives up their daughter that was in his care to her. After that, he stabs himself and wipes the blood all over his face in order to cleanse himself. That action was taken to show

Reading the booklet instead of observing the movie is the best way to see what the author meant. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can make your vocabulary

A Golden Paradise finally, i will work out the petite cabin rising from the wooded direction right down to the lake. I’m finally seeing this indigenous place as quickly as lower back after an adequate 9 months of irksome college. Stepping out of the motor vehicle, an aroma of organic team spirit and happiness strikes me. i won't be in a position to forget approximately the fragrance of the flourishing plant existence that embody our summer season cabin. The supple grass sways in the morning wind. nonetheless-obvious dew awaits the interruption of its peace as I slip off my shoes and luxuriate in the sensation of the damp turf below my feet. The brisk, clean breezes via the lake shore flutter for the time of my comfortable pores and skin. when I pay attention the sound of boats out tubing and fishing, i'm waiting to start my day of relaxing. My dad and that i've got waited to get out on the deep, dark lake to seize the fish all of us understand are waiting for us, actual below the floor. in spite of undesirable success, i'm nonetheless as excited to be there as slightly toddler waiting to get her first actual puppy! finally, my line jerks to interest. A fish has bitten my hook, pulling complicated and growing to be a demanding feeling in the air. I combat the monster on the different end of the line, suffering to reel the great, thrashing beast aboard finally, the fish is captured, and that i'm drained and thoroughly happy. The stench of the animal is atrocious and foul, even though it won't be able to overshadow the buzz and elation that fills my physique. After that, i'm waiting to flow lower back to shore. The solar dips in direction of the horizon. As I wait for my mom's hearty macaroni and cheese with ham to be served, I sit down on the dock look ahead to the top of the daytime. As hearth meets the water, the solar's very final rays of light bleed out in magnificent colours of pink, orange, and magenta, till no longer something is left yet a faint, dark stain of its existence. Now i'm waiting for yet another fiery diversion, a bon hearth! Swaddled in blankets, we roast marshmallows over the crackling hearth, sandwiching the toasted, candy puffs between graham crackers and a slab of chocolate. We sit down lower back and gaze on the luminous, airy stars, my eyes heavy and quickly no longer seeing. I fall into sleep and this golden paradise rests in my desires.
