Another thing the book stated which made me think a lot is the comment about race. It said that race is a social construct‚ not a scientific or biological fact. It was interesting learning about how race developed into a hierarchically issue. Race and ethnicity are different things and people do not realize the differences between the two.

Race Ethnicity and Literature I have had an opportunity to read three great short stories. The short stories were "The Welcome Table‚ Country Lovers‚ and Child of the Americas."
