Jimmy Blacksmith Evil example essay topic

Is Jimmy Blacksmith Evil! Jimmy Blacksmith was not evil, he was somebody driven to the unthinkable because he had all this anger and frustration bottled up inside of him, and all these emotions confused him. Evil means morally bad, wicked or harmful, Jimmy was non of these things, he was a victim of racial prejudice. The first way in which Jimmy got driven to his anger, was when he had gone to find a job and he did his job all correctly and put all his hard work into it, but his boss would always make up an excuse so they wouldn't have to pay him fully.

This happened on a number of occasions and because he was black he couldn't do anything about it, there was nobody to complain to or tell if this happened because black people were always wrong to the white. Even after he did a job the boss would never give him a reference. When he was young at school he was misunderstood. One day on a school day he had an important aboriginal ritual to go to and when he got back to school he got whipped.

One of the jobs that Jimmy had was one that betrayed his aboriginal friends, he was asked to kill them. He did this and was so ashamed of what he did that he burned his uniform and quit his job. I think this shows in a lot of ways that Jimmy was not evil, if Jimmy was evil he wouldn't have been disappointed in himself and burn his clothes. Another way in which people drove him to madness is when he was getting married to a white woman, a lady asked if she was a pure white person, because she was so shocked she repeated this question more than once.

I think that Jimmy Blacksmith was fed up with all the smart comments he got from people especially the ones who were happy to see that his son was not really his and was white. When his wife was having the baby, he was not allowed to help or go near the house, even when the baby was born he was not allowed to go in, he found out that his wife had given birth to a baby boy when some other visitors who had seen the baby were on there way out and told him. Jimmy was so happy that he had a baby boy that he started dancing. Jimmy's younger brother and uncle came to meet the wife and baby, and let them stay with them. Jimmy was living on the land that he had been working on for the last few months with his wife, he got paid in groceries. One day the boss made up an excuse that Jimmy had not been working as hard as he usually dose, and he had turned his land into a 'Black camp's o he didn't get any food or groceries to feed his family.

This made Jimmy angry, so his uncle and himself went to confront the boss's wife, but she did not have any pity for Jimmy. She started making jokes and then ordered them to go away. But that was it for Jimmy, he could not take any more so he killed them. This was out of anger and rage, he was not thinking right, I think that he didn't know haw to handle it so he used violence. After this Jimmy declared war. He ran away with his brother, even though his brother did not approve of the violence and killing.

I think the main reason why Jimmy killed people is because he didn't know how to get out of the situations that he got himself into. I don't think Jimmy was evil, the word 'evil' is too strong, I think that the white people were the real enemies because they were the ones who started to use violence in the first place. The white people were unfair to the aborigines, and Jimmy was the only one who tried to stand up to them.
