chatting with some friends of mine about this paper. They were all very concerned about how I was going to write an in-depth paper about race and gender and how it shapes my life experiences. They said things like “Julia, you are a middle-upper class, white girl from small town Iowa how are you going to write anything for this paper?” or “You are a typical college girl from one of the whitest counties in America, there is no way you are going to write a good paper, right?” Wrong.

about the election would be one that targets Hillary Clinton. I have hardly seen ads that aren’t approved by Hillary Clinton about the election, which is why I was so surprised to see find this ad online.

of Tayo, a Native American man who returns home to the Laguna Pueblo reservation after fighting in World War II riddled with PTSD and hatred towards the outside world. Tayo 's struggles represent the struggles of the clashing of Native American and White culture both in physical space and within people, as Tayo represents the meeting of these two cultures within a singular person. The narrative traverses both time and space in an unorthodox method forcing the reader to move away from a…

between blacks and whites. Throughout the United States many other shootings, and gatherings have surfaced because of these deaths among the black community. Following the shooting of Trayvon Martin, people rioted the streets shouting, “Black lives matter!” Within this subject, I have my own opinion, which is different than some. Most people believe that black people get treated differently in society and that is not okay. Although in some scenarios, African Americans put themselves…

as bad as it once was. Our country today has “Black Lives Matter” blown way out of proportion. Police have shot and young black men 175 times since January 2015; 24 of them were unarmed. Over that same period, police have shot and killed 172 young white men, 18 of whom were unarmed. Throughout time, blacks have formed a group named “Black Lives Matter” to protest mostly against racism that they think exists today. This group has protested by marching through streets shouting things such as…

support their families. The lack of money allows employees, that are like the characters in the play, to justify stealing or borrowing to ensure that their family can survive. Consequently, the combined theme of the two plays is that both blacks and whites are dependent upon each other.
