Kath Walkers story embraces some of the topics that people ran away from in the 1950s and talks about them openly and truthfully and this is what makes the story so rivoting.

Gates Jr. “This was a world so elegantly distant from ours‚ it was like a voyage to another galaxy‚ light-years away (Gates 56-63). I chose this piece because people have memories of the good times and also of the bad. The author growing up in the 1950’s as a colored boy was not easy because of the racial discrimination. So as an adult he looks back at his past when times were so different. This story was not at all like One More To Lake by E.B White. To me history is very important thus being reason

Response To Reading Dakota Zimmerman This article‚ “The Psychology of Materialism‚ And Why It’s Making You Unhappy” written by‚ Carolyn Gregorie was very relevant to my life today. I could have told you that materialism can cause negativity without ever reading this or learning about the studies they have conducted to prove this correlation between unhappiness and materials.

I really enjoyed the way in which he conveys his position as an outsider looking in and how very descriptive he is in depicting the rituals of the American way of life of the 1950’s. It is evident that the ways in which people perceive themselves in the everyday are not so apparent to those looking in. In retrospect‚ looking back at the confusion the Hmong were experiencing when viewing the Americans culture in The Spirit
