From a personal stance‚ my grandfather is a retired veteran himself and he fought in the Vietnam War.

The sound device of the landlords repetition of wanting to know the color of his skin “how dark?... are you light or very dark?/ are you dark or very light” (15/18)? shows her bias mentality and lets the reader know she is standing firmly in what she was taught to believe about Negroes. The writer tries to persuade the landlord to change her view on stereotyping him by using his highly educated choice of words and also by

Memories of Childhood – Zitkala Sa‚ Bama Two people recall their childhood when they were made victims of social inequalities. Zitkala Sa was a Red Indian. She was admitted in the Carlisle Indian School run by the British. The school authorities imposed a lot of rules on the students‚ some for the students’ good and some to show the British superiority and some for fun.

African Americans were treated even after the Civil War. Mr. Coates talks about the housing issues African Americans faced with landlords‚ mobs‚ and neighbors. He shows examples of this in many different ways‚ which even happened in more recent years.
