Hopes‚ Dreams‚ and Reality Graduation by Maya Angelou is an essay about discrimination. The beginning of this essay reminded me of my own high school graduation. How scared but excited I was to be taking the next step up in my life. I felt like the story paralleled my experiences at the beginning‚ but at the end I had a totally different outlook on this piece of writing. As I got further into the essay‚ I felt that there was nothing about Angelou’s life that I had ever experienced or could relate

Ceremony The culture that I decided to pick was of native Americans from the World War II era. The book I analyzed to see into this culture was Ceremony.

It’s not like how you thought it would be. Not when you’ve entered a State University. It’s the survival of the fittest‚ I say. A few of you might

Welcome to The Preaching’s of Jane Tompkins One may say that “At the Buffalo Bill Museum‚ 1988” by author Jane Tompkins is a timeless work that openly questions the morality of human behavior in the Western Era of American history.
