in both of twains pieces he adresses the impact of ghettos and what they do. They both affect the child as in they could die any day and they must always be struggling to survive."They do not know Harlem, and i do. So do you. Take no one's word for anthing including mine - but trust your own experience." my dungeon shook. This states that his brothers/ people are the ones that know what it is actually like to live in such an area which is why it affects them so much.

Both of Baldwin’s speeches towards the New York City school teachers and a letter to his nephew. My Dudgeon Shook and Talk to Teacher’s were extreme speeches of Baldwin and had many key points, white stereo-types of black identity, use of ethos, impact of the ghetto, and loss of identities for life.

In Baldwin’s writings, A Talk to Teachers and My Dungeon Shook, he seems very concern about the impact of the ghetto, responsibilities towards the children, sense of identity of the white population, and ignorance or false history.

In James Baldwin's "My Dungeon Shook" and "A Talk to Teachers" he points out the flaws of the United States and their relation to the treatment of the black culture, and the atrocities associated with them such as the placement of blacks in ghettos, the ignorance of whites, the living of a false history, and the sense of identity among whites.

In James Baldwin's major essays " My Dungeon Shook," as well as his " A Talk To Teachers," Baldwin points out some major claims regarding the african americans in his modern day society and how their education may be limited by the color of their skin, as well as the effects of their race on the rest of society and how they see themselves, and their ' lower' counterparts.

Baldwin in his speech “Talking to Teachers” and his letter “My Dungeon shook” expresses several specific themes that address the subject of a black society in a white mans world. He specifically points out the white stereotypes of black identity, the impact of the ghetto, the loss of identities for life and the usage of ethos.

In both speeches the ghetto takes place. In Talk to Teachers, it pretty much says that the ghettos are controlled by criminals, which would eventually lead them into jail when the kids are older.

In James Baldwin’s “My Dungeon Shook”, and “A Talk to Teachers”, there is a focus of a white man’s world, that blacks are forced to fight harder for prominence in.
