Yes. The Eiffel Tower in Paris could be considered as a 'huge' story in architecture. Standing tall and magnificent, it has become an iconic symbol of France.

I'm not sure specifically about 'plantation big black cocks' stories in a very particular sense. However, on a plantation, there could be stories about various types of roosters which are often black. Maybe there are tales of their role in waking up the workers early in the morning, or their unique behaviors within the plantation environment.
One possible story could be that the big black cocks were brought to the plantation to start a new breed of chickens. They might have been carefully selected for their strong build and unique appearance. Their presence could have changed the dynamics of the plantation's poultry population.
There are not many positive and appropriate teen stories specifically centered around this topic as it is inappropriate for teen - focused literature. However, in some coming - of - age stories, there might be mentions in a more metaphorical or symbolic way to represent power or masculinity in a more general sense.
The horns of some large antelopes like the kudu can also be part of such stories. Their large and spiral horns are used for various purposes.

Plantation romances often idealize the antebellum South. They might focus on the grandeur of the plantations and the so - called genteel life there. However, slaves novels usually expose the harsh reality of slavery. They show the inhumane treatment of slaves, their struggles for freedom and the dehumanizing effects of the system.
Adult plantation slaves were made to do back - breaking work on the plantations. In the case of tobacco plantations, they first prepared the soil by plowing it. Then they planted the tobacco seedlings and took great care in watering and fertilizing them. As the plants grew, they had to remove any pests or diseased leaves. When the tobacco was ready, they harvested it and then cured it in barns. This was just one example of the many types of work they did. They also built and maintained fences, dug irrigation ditches, and carried out other tasks necessary for the plantation's operation. All of this work was done under the strict control and often brutal supervision of the slave owners.
The living conditions for plantation slaves as adults were extremely harsh. They typically lived in small, crude cabins with little to no privacy. These cabins were often overcrowded, housing multiple families or individuals in a very limited space. Their diet was meager, mainly consisting of basic staples like cornmeal and salt pork, and they had to endure long hours of back - breaking labor in the fields, with little rest and under the constant threat of punishment from the slave owners.
Plantation romances had an influence in shaping the early image of the South in American literature. They presented a somewhat romanticized view that was later challenged. Slaves novels, though, had a more profound and far - reaching impact. They brought the issue of slavery to the forefront of literary discussions and increased public awareness about the evils of slavery.
