Compare and contrast the Gladney family’s departure with the departure of George Starlings. How does each say goodbye and what must they leave behind? Analyze the emotional and monetary hardships each family faces.

Answer and Explanation:

The Gladney family left Mississippi for Chigaco after the laws of Jim Crown made life for black citizens more difficult. The hostility was very high in the state and after a cousin of the family was accused of a crime that he did not commit and beaten until he lost consciousness and almost died, the Gladney family realized that that place was no longer the appropriate place for them. Thus, they decided to move to Chicago, they left the field that provided the family's livelihood and had many economic difficulties in Chicago, taking on low-paying and tiring jobs, but managed to settle.

The Gladney family felt some remorse for having to leave their home. This, however, was not seen in George Starlings, who left Florida for New York after he started protests that demanded better working conditions at the factory where he worked. His bosses were furious and threatened to end his life. To protect himself he decided to leave, without sentimentality and without leaving anything behind. Upon arriving in New York he also faced economic difficulties, in addition to suffering a certain rejection by other immigrants. He also traveled west, looking for better jobs.
