CREATIVE: Collage PowerPoint This is significant to the story because it shows that AA, unarmed people are killed by police. Jeremiah was murdered by police. They shot him without asking any questions or even seeing his face. The police officers thought he was a suspect in an ongoing investigation. They assumed and made the wrong decision, ultimately leading to Jeremiah's death. This is important to the text because it's saying is a white person's life more valuable than a black person's. Jeremiah was killed and he was black, but would the same thing have happened if he was white? Prejudice in our society is unjust and unfair. The police man that killed Jeremiah got to go home to his family. Jeremiah will never be able to see his family again. This picture deals with stereotypes that happen in everyday life. Jeremiah was a black kid, with dreads and a tall build. The police shot him because they stereotyped him as "dangerous". In society, we blindly stereotype others. In this case, the policeman's stereotype caused someone to die. This picture represents Jeremiah. In the story his point of view comes from him being a spirit watching over. Throughout the story he's described as a ghost-like presence that his family and friends feel. He feels light, airy, and sometimes forgotten. He looks back and knows that he will never be able to do the things he always wanted to do in life. Towards the end of the story, Jeremiah feels at peace and knows that he can move on, but not forget what could've been.
