I have to say that I loved this story. The story is set during the Vietnam War and while this is a fictional book the author is relaying true emotions. The shame and guilt felt by the men that were in the war is illustrated very well in this story. I look forward to reading the story again and learning more about the Vietnam War. The beautiful memorial has the names of lives lost during the Vietnam War.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller is about a man that feels he has disappointed his family by not providing as much as he feels they needed. When in all reality he has disappointed his family by not spending enough time with them.  In the end the man dies and the family is forever left without him. This is a true tragedy that is still an issue with lots of men and women in todays society.

The Lesson was written by Toni Bambara and is set it the 1960's. This story is about a young African American girl, who is a reflection of the author. The young girl and fellow classmates are taken to an uppity toy store, when they themselves are poor and from Harlem. The teacher is trying to show the children that there is also economic segregation on top of social and racial segregation. While this is true, I'm not sure why the point needed to be made. It shows that no matter who you are or what your status in life, you can change the mind of children, so watch what you say and do.

Brownies written by ZZ Packer is a clear display of racism among young children. Young children are influenced by their parents when it comes to things like racism. These main brownie troops are of two different races. The first is made up of African American girls and the second is made up of Caucasian girls. They are in a constant war against each other only because of the way they look. The world has not changed much over the last 60 years unfortunately.

This story written by Alice Walker is about a mother and her two daughters, who are all different from each other. They are different in looks and ideals and the story is in a constant comparison between the three. The mother feels that she is inadequate to her oldest daughter in the beginning of the story but in the end realizes that she has a better handle on life and in some ways is better off. When life controls you instead of you controlling your life, you will never know the true meaning of life.

Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison is a story about a young African American man that has just graduated and given a speech to his class. After the speech to his class he is asked to give the same speech to a group of older white men at a party. He arrives at the party just to be paraded around and forced to fight with other young African American men. This story shows the cold way of the world during 1952 and the Civil War Movement. America was a messed up place during that time and in ways still is today. This image makes me think of the pride to survive the character in this story felt.

This poem written by Claude McKay is another poem written by an African American male during the Red Summer of  Race Riots of 1919. The fact that Claude was published at all during this time is amazing to me. The riots killed hundreds of African Americans and spanned more than three dozen cities. The fact that the author was begging to die with dignity instead of begging not to die is extremely heartbreaking.

Harlem / A Dream Deferred is a poem about what happens to a dream that is never achieved. This poem was written in the years of the Civil Rights movement. I believe Langston was feeling deterred in life and believing that his dreams may not ever be accomplished. Sad time in American history.

A Jury Of Her Peers is a different view, but same story as Trifles. Millie may have murdered her husband and the local authorities are trying to provide motive to the murder. Two women in this story come together from different walks of life to conceal a possible motive. The era of this story shows the movements from the time period.

The Yellow Wallpaper shows what can happen to a women's mental state, who has postpartum depression and a controlling husband. Postpartum Depression in itself can make some women go "Crazy" but if you put a controlling husband into the mix it can cause a catastrophic mental break. Sometimes it's hard to climb out of the darkness.

Story of an Hour is about a woman that received news that her husband had died. She reacted like anyone would, when they find out that their loved one has passed, by locking herself in her room and crying. Then she realizes that maybe her husbands death is a good thing, because now she can be free of him and his control. She takes control off her emotions, goes down stairs, her husband walks through the door and she dies of a heart attack.

The way a mother can make a child feel just from the words she speaks, can be more devastating than any physical abuse. The use of the word "slut" is used several times in this story and it shows the mother's true feelings toward her daughter. The story is still taking place in the late 1800's to early 1900's  so their standard for women is a little different than it is today. This song makes me think of the daughter in this story.

Trifles gives you a sad feeling for women in 1917. The county attorney saying "loyal to your sex, I see" makes me understand the importance of women sticking together during the revolution of the world. It's important to take up for someone that can't take up for themselves.
