When thinking of the “typical” American family or the “Nuclear Family”, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Most of the time it is one mother, one father, and both parent two children around the same age. The “Nuclear Family” is exactly that. It is a family that consists of only one mother, one father and children. Nonetheless, in the twenty first century there is no longer the presence of the nuclear family. Reasoning for that would be that in today 's society, there are so many more…

Endurance of Pain in Native Guard Charles Wright has stated that in poetry “only pain endures.” Two poems from Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard, “Miscegenation” and “The Southern Crescent,” showcase the emotional pain experienced by the characters. These characters are ostracized by their communities and are essentially forced to leave their homes for fear of racial segregation; unfortunately, these journeys are met largely with disappointment and heartbreak. The speaker’s parents in…

Wanda Sykes, in I’ma Be Me, brings up a lot of social problems that she sees happens, but most of what she sees in life is not just conjecture; many of her personal experiences are true, maybe a little exaggerated, but true. For instance, she talks about the smallest complaints people have about the president and what he is doing, or the child she has with her lesbian wife is Caucasian and she can’t pick her up alone without being questioned, or that she has to be asked to not speak in a…

If I had to describe myself in one sentence I would say I am a straight, white, female with a modest upbringing, who was raised in the country by a conservative widow. The town I grew up in was a small, rural town in central Arizona. My high school graduating class had only 23 students and when I was young, the roads around town were still dirt. I remember how exciting it was when the roads were paved. My dad died when I was two and a half years old and my Mom never remarried. My brother and…

Thomas S. Monson said, “Let us not only remember the past and its required sacrifice, but let us also remember that we are responsible to build a legacy for the generations which follow us”. Unfortunately, I have not heard stories of my ancestors coming to America. I was never exposed to my ancestor’s struggles and joys. I cannot imagine how difficult and detrimental it was when change had to transpire. What I do know is that my family paved the road for me. Life for me would be very different…

Walking down the street, hand in hand with their significant other- interracial couples received cruel stares and awkward glances; enduring the displeasing words of family, friends, and society. Unfailingly, they were sworn at, spat on, and in worst cases physically attacked. “Though many interracial couples today do not experience such severe punishments from society as they did 50 years ago, they still know that they are viewed negatively by some Americans” (Raiman 101). Not only were…

Langston Hughes masterfully created a powerful and raw play with his writing of Mulatto. The exposition comprehensively describes the play’s background information, setting, and details of the main characters. The exposition essentially helps the audience to understand the purpose of the play and what each element and character add to the theme. Mulatto takes place during the 1930’s; it is set in the south on a large plantation in Georgia. The majority of the play takes place inside the Big…
