Analysis #1--topic and outline
I am really not sure what I want do my analysis paper on just quiet yet but one subject jumps out at me more than the rest. It is the comparison of Zinn’s chapter 2 and Johnson’s Chapter 3. In chapter two of Zinn, he explains that racism just didn’t pop up one day; racism had to be started somewhere and by somebody. He goes into details about how the English made them look superior to the Indians and African Americans. This is almost the same thing Johnson is telling his readers in Chapter three of his book. He blames that racism was created and affected by capitalism. And what the English did to the Indians and Blacks was so they could strive and become powerful in a capitalistic world. That new world was created by the English and colonies they had because the main goal of capitalism to make a profit through the process using labor and resources. Those two subjects really jump out to me and make a lot of sense to me. I agree with what both of them are saying and trying to get across to their readers. Is that a good topic to write on?
