Most common for me though is talking to my parents. I'm constantly getting in trouble for things I didn't do and they won't ever stop talking about my grades. Whenever I try to stop them or reason with them, it doesn't make a difference. There will always be people who think they are higher or better than you and sometimes you will feel like you want to throw mud at them; though it wouldn't make a big difference.

She was trying to get her rights as a colored person. Obviously she couldn't get better rights by herself. But with the help of many, many, many others, colored people were finally able to get the rights they deserve. Although there are still racist problems in society, they are slowly being fixed by throwing those fistfuls of mud.Vimbayi Veranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917366187418895727.post-23934459600265419202015-04-27T22:52:51.145-04:002015-04-27T22:52:51.145-04:00I have felt like little man before, but the proble...I have felt like little man before, but the problem turned out to not be as challenging as I had predicted.

Everyone goes through something they feel like is too big that they can't handle or fix the problem, like throwing a small amount of mud at a large bus. An example that comes to mind is like when you ask your parents for something or to do something, they say no, you ask why, and they say "because I said so".

Little man if simbolizing that racism is this big machine and little man is the "mud" and that no matter how hard he threw the mud it still would not make a difference in the power of the machine meaning racism is so big and powerful that it needs to bed ought because It will not be forgotten in a couple of years and they needed a leader to guid them in the right direction to stopping this big machine because one small handful of mud will not do much but a whole bunch of people standing up for what the believe in "mud" will fight agents the big machine.

I don't know why, but I got so angry I slammed my bedroom door shut and cried for hours. Now I find it selfish that I was mad at something that I couldn't fix and my grandmother was sick.
