Reconstruction
The book two Reconstruction of
the autobiography of miss Jane Pittman show us how the ideals of equality and freedom
cause the separation of Jane and Ned, making them take different paths in where
they grew, marry, re-meet and by those same ideals Ned was persecuted and
assassinated. Ned was a typical Martin Luther King, because he teached and
fought for the political rights and for the freedom of the black people. Like
product of this ideals and his good rhetoric to express the same, did that the
local whites disagree this conduct and conspiracy between them hire Albert
Cluveau to kill Ned like he does (Gaines 121).
Ned for this liberal’s ideals
was persecuted from he was an adolescent that form part of an organized
committee that helps colored people, that was treated bad like slave, leave the
place to go to New Orleans. For this reasons Colonel
Dye (plantation owner) warns Jane that Ned must be stopped, but Ned will not
want stop. Product of that, did that one night when Ned was working in the
committee, Ku Klux Klan members arrive at Jane's house to kill him I think
because this group frequently beat and kill blacks people. So, thanks to God
Ned is not home when they come and can flee the plantation later that night.
Jane does not want to leave her secure life in the plantation, so they separate
with sadness (Gaines 76-79).
Examples of the good rhetoric
of Ned, that creates fear in the white people, can be read when Ned said “This
earth is yours and don’t let that man out there take it from you. It’s yours
because your people’s bones lay in it; it’s yours because their sweet and their
blood done drenched this earth. The white man will use every trick in the trade
to take it from you” (Gaines 112).
Expressions like this did that he was persecuted and finally
assassinated. For these explanations I see Ned like a Martin Luther King
because it is a black man that fought for the rights of his people without
matter the consequences because he know that one they he will be assassinated
for the whites people (Gaines 113).
