opportunities the child will have in the future. In People Like Us‚ the main point of the film was the idea of social status. The film showed various examples of how social status influenced people of all backgrounds. What stood out to me was social class‚ which was not only focused on the economic aspect. When the bourgeois class talked about how to become “part of” their society‚ they said class was something you were born with.

selected was “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (For those who don’t know)”. This is a poem written by Patricia Smith. The three elements of the poem that I found to be engaging were the tone‚ the content‚ and the language that the author uses. This poem struck some feelings in me. Therefore I am taking a descriptive approach to my response. As a black woman I felt somewhat belittled by the tone that this author uses in this poem. She speaks about the idea of being a black girl as being someone

of “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (for those of you who aren’t)” by Patricia Smith‚ is just that‚ an explanation. From the first three syllables “First of all‚” the author gives a sense of a story being told. She uses jagged sentence structure and strong forceful language to also show the reader the seriousness of her topic.

The two poems‚ ‘What it’s like to be a black girl’ and ‘Child of the Americans’ are of great inspiration to the readers. The two poems relate especially with the African Americans‚ who face many life challenges‚ together with these being discussed in the two poems.

What I like about this novel is that it’s not like a novel that I have read before. I first want to remark that I like the time frame of the novel taking place during the Second World War and in the setting of New Mexico.
