This quote reminded me of "The Thing They Carry" and the pain that the soldiers experienced. The pain that soldiers endure do not stop when they get back from the war. Things like PTSD are real problems for soldiers while they are deployed, and long after.

I thought this poster for Death of a Salesman was perfect. It shows how a salesman trying to preform his way to acceptance and purpose is really dying on the inside. He is never able to find true purpose and ends up feeling like an automated machine.

This picture reminded me or the discrimination and out casting that occurs in Battle Royal. This picture shows a cheese game where one black piece is facing a board full of white chess pieces. In Battle Royal, a young black man was taken advantage of by a room full of white people.

Like Let America be America Again, this poem reminded me of a song from Hamilton. This song is all about how we have no control over who lives, who dies and who tells your story. Hamilton died and had no control over who told his story. In If We Must Die, Claude McKay writes about how if we must die, let us go out fighting.

When I read Let America be America Again, I thought of the first line of this song from Hamilton. The first verse of this song says: "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less". Just like the opening of this song, Langston Hughes urges America to be a land of true freedom.

Negro is a poem that list all the different jobs Africans have been forced to work. This quote by Abraham Lincoln reminds me of how Langston Hughes discusses the work Africans did as slaves. It's easy to justify injustice when it does not directly affect us. Negro makes the injustice Africans experienced personal.

When I read The Negro Speaks of Rivers I immediately thought of this song from Pocahontas. In Pocahontas she values nature and this power it has, in The Negro Speaks of Rivers, he talks about the power of nature in a different way. Langston Hughes talks about how men used nature to oppressed and control the Negro people.

This quote made think of A Dream Deferred . This poem is all about a dream that is not achieved and does not become reality. Too often we dream big dreams but we don't take the time to go and live them out. A dream without action never gets fulfilled.

Brownies reminded me of the movie Mean Girls. In Brownies, girls go on a camping trip and get into some conflict. The conflicts are mainly based on racial differences and misunderstandings. Just like in Mean Girls, the girls in Brownies jumped to conclusions about people who are different from them.

In The Lesson, children learn the value of dollar and how different people spend it. This quote reminded me of The Lesson and how the children learned how society determines the value of a dollar. Some people spend on a toy what could feed a whole family without giving a second thought.

This picture reminded me of "A Jury of Her Peers" because a woman had friends who were able to help her get away with murder. Her husband had treated her harshly, and her friends sympathized with her.

This picture reminded me of 'The Yellow Wallpaper" because it is a visual of what it is liked to feel trapped. When someone feels trapped in a situation, they can feel controlled, manipulated, forced and/or imprisoned. The woman in "The Yellow Wallpaper" was trapped inside a controlling marriage which made her feel like the women behind the wallpaper. Feeling powerless and trapped can cause someone to go mad.

When I read "Trifles", the first thing I thought of was promo video for the TV show, How To Get Away With Murder. In this short story, a woman tries to do just that: get away with murder. She killed her husband but tired to cover it up any way possible. While her murder may be justified, it was still murder.

This quote from The Scarlet Letter reminded of "The Story of an Hour." Mrs. Mallard didn't realize how oppressed she felt in her marriage, until she tasted freedom. Once she tasted freedom from her marriage, she wasn't willing to go back and give up her freedom.

This article made me think of all the expectations that culture can put on women. "Girl" lists all the things a woman is "supposed to" do. This article made me think of the quote below, because so many women feel pressure to look or act a certain simply because they are a woman. Rather than feeling free to be who they want to be, too many women feel like there is a laundry list of expectations they must meet everyday.
