I believe that we should accept one another. In the short story "Just Walk On By" there is a black male named Brent Staples who was thought to be a mugger‚ a rapist or worse.

What’s happening with our Filipino youth today? Who’s to be blamed for these? We cannot deny the fact

In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech Sal’s father accuses Sal of “trying to catch fish in the air” (pg. 75) because she was trying to get her father to stop seeing Mrs. Cadaver to get her mother to come back.
