    The Story i choose was 'Winter Dreams' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, It takes places in Minnesota in the 1920's. The main character is named Dexter and he is a caddie for the summer. I think the time period and weather plays a big part of the story. it gives the reader an imagery in their minds and sets the story. the time period also does the same thing. Dexter's start as a caddie has a big impact on his life goals, it eventually leads to his inner conflict to not be ''middle class.''…

    In the novel Bodega Dreams intersectionality functions in the way the characters envision themselves achieving their definition of success and how they will achieve it. Intersectionality is the “interlocking inequalities of race, gender, ethnicity, and class that create a matrix of domination within which privileges and disadvantages are unequally distributed among people” (Intersections of Gender, Race, Ethnicity, and Class, 02/14). Even though two of the book’s characters Julio (most commonly known as Chino) and Edwin Nazario use their masculinity to obtain what they desire, each individual is gifted with dissimilar traits of masculinity that aid in achievement of what they yearn for. All while consuming the hardships of growing up in the Puerto Rican community of East Spanish Harlem.…

    Dexter would have been miserable in a marriage to Judy. She was unfaithful in her many relationships with men and her past actions did not promise a good marriage. She had a need or rather impulsive obsession to have many suitors at a time. If Dexter had married Judy then I think he would have given up any happiness that comes from a secure, committed relationship. She was never satisfied with the affections that she had and could not understand the sacrifice of true love. The disappointment and lack of committed love that Dexter would have known in a marriage to her would have been…

    War, violent mass murdering used to accomplish political and government goals, hate crimes, acts of violence or harm to individuals with personal differences, and suicide, the ending of ones own life. All of these unfortunately happen on a daily basis and is considered a norm in today’s news broadcasts, but why are these tragic events simply glazedover and accepted as a common part of the news most people listen to while eating dinner? M. J Hardman, a board member of the American Humanist Association, proposes through her work, “Language and War,” that it is the violent language and war glorifying metaphors used in daily life that has made people accustomed and accepting of violence in speech and reality. Martha Kinkade, author of Winter’s Light, recalls violent experiences from her past in Wyoming highlighting Hardman’s ideas that today’s speech is constructed to unintentionally promote the acceptance of violence. Through Kinkade’s poems “Boots, Sugar”, “Skinning”, and “Snowy Milkweed” Hardman’s argument that hostile language is making violence more acceptable is shown through the metaphors and violent thoughts and action of these poems.…

    “And so it was all over. I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream.” (218) These were the words that Black Elk spoke of the dream that he and his people had of a country where they were allowed to live free and happy as they had before the white men invaded their territory. The Indians that Black Elk encountered in his lifetime all had only a simple dream to be able to live as they pleased. They…

    In Flannery O’Connor’s story “Everything That Rises Must Converge,” he demonstrates the conflicting relationship between Julian and his mother. This conflicting relationship is caused by their contradicting views on not only racism, but also superficiality because Julian’s mother thinks society should be racially segregated and Julian believes in equality of people no matter their race. Julian’s mother thinks the way she looks will make her a better person. Julian, on the other hand, thinks this superficiality simply does not matter.she relies on custom and tradition for her moral sensibility, claiming that “how you do things is because of who you are.” She is also fiercely loyal to those whom she identifies as part of her proud tradition, especially her son. Julian’s mother may also represent the typical woman who, due to the actual environment and social change, follows the belief systems of segregation. She is a widow mother who “had struggled fiercely to feed and clothe and put him through school and who was supporting him still, ‘until he got in his feet. Her attitudes as a mother seem to be like those of any other mother who loves her son and struggles to give him what he deserves. However, this attitude is also comprised with her conservative ways which is her belief that society should racially segregated.…
