My American Century

In Studs Terkel's My American Century the aspect of personal evolution and

change surfaces through the characters. Change as the American Heritage Dictionary

says is: To give a completely different form or appearance; to transform. There are many

different ways that one change, and My American Century explores a few of them. One

way was the way that Claiborne P. Ellis transformed. C.P. Ellis chaged himself from the

exalted cyclops of the Durham chapter of the Ku Klux Klan with a racial and parocial

outlook on life, to an openminded, educated business manager of the union. One can

chage in the manner that E.B. Sledge did. Sledge was a World War II veteran and had

been transformed from an innocent boy to a war torn veteran. Wallace Ramussen

evolved as well. Starting off as a Nebraskan country boy growing up in the Great

Depression and working his way up to become CEO of Beatrice Foods and a winner of

the Horatio Alger Award. Between these three characters in Studs Terkel's My

American Century, personal evolution is portrayed in both the moral sense and the

Claiborne P. Ellis' rough life started at the age of seventeen. His dad worked in a


natural person for me to hate would be black people, because my father before

evolution in status effected Wallace's life dramatically. He had learned many lessons

out jigsaw puzzels. All of these jobs he had worked, all of which to fail yet the made him

soldiers, but came out of the war as war-torn, calloused, savages.
