Lucinda's Short Story: The Pharaohs
Bullied at a young age, Lucinda never had any friends. Her mother wasn’t her actual mother, she was her stepmother which led to her not treating her as well as she did when Lucinda’s father was alive. Her father, Sam, was pretty much her only friend so when he passed away, she fell down into the dark pit known as depression. Her stepmother’s boyfriends weren’t helping her any either. So when she joined the band The Pharaohs, she felt like her old self. She felt like her father was still alive, that he was still giving her advice. The advice that Lucinda is living up to is when her father told her that the sky's the limit when they were at a carnival and gazing up towards the Ferris wheel. She is still living up to it on the tour for her band.

    Alice Childress’, Wine in the Wilderness, exposes the classism that rest within the African American community once certain ones become educated and start doing well for themselves. Many look down on the community they once came from instead of acknowledging where they are and helping them succeed just like they did. This play also exposes the idea of femininity. Many people in the African American community and in patriarchal society believe a women has to be poised and soft spoken to be classified as a woman. These gender roles get in the way of a woman and her ability to be her own individual and not what society expects. Alice is trying to get the audience to understand the way African Americans are treated by one another when they do not have an education and when they do not have money. She also wants us to look at the idea of what is feminine and what is not. Bill was adamant about what he thought was “lady-like” and what he thought was not. It even shows through the description of his paintings. Wine in the Wilderness is important to African American Culture. It points out inadvertently the progress that needs to be made within the community for more unification. This play is still important. So many people still do the same thing Bill and his friends did to Tommy. They look down on others simply because of what they have instead of who they are.…
