Harry Reed’ s Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon and Black Cultural Nationalism insist in how the past can be used to fuel the future. He explains that in the black culture the past of slavery to fuel them to success and to really push themselves to be better in their own ways. I agree with this statement that things from one's past should be used to help them get motivated to do better in the future. Some examples that show this through Song of Solomon that the character of Circe saying that she had used the past of slavery to blacks as a way to be pushed to survive as a black woman. I Think I really support this in that the past can help you to get far in the future because I know that there have been a few times in my life that I have thought of the last of my family like in education they didn't finish high school and when I was in high school I had been really motivated to finish high school because I know that my parents didn't do that so I want to finish and I am. Lessons that we can learn from Harry Reed is that by using the past of either of your racial history or your family history it can be used in many ways to help you be successful in the future like for Circe it was to have the survival power to be able to survive as a black women in a society that looked down in them or for me in having to look at the struggle or challenges that my parents or past relatives had gone through to be able to push myself to be better in what they had did and to set an example to others around me to be successful in life.
