Between the World and Me has
several quotes that really speak to anyone who reads the novel; Ta-Nehisi
Coates does an amazing job of expressing the realities that black
Americans must face in the United States on a regular basis. The novel is
extremely eye opening, primarily focusing on the youth.
One of my favorite quotes from the last section of the novel is on page
150, Coates stated, "And this revolution has freed the Dreamers to plunder
not just the bodies of humans but the body of the Earth itself." In my
opinion this is a very powerful quote because it represents the bigger picture,
Coates is saying that the downfall of these individuals is not only found in
the oppression pushed upon each one but on the world in which they live in
itself. The foundation is already in pieces, so how can we as an observant society cast opinions on a group of people who do not have the resources to overcome these obstacles. Overall the novel is very inspiring, Coates does a great job of including his own experiences !!
