Un-Break My Heart

On my side of the mountain, I could barely make out the remnants of a small settlement a half days walk away. I let out a crestfallen sigh, tightened my shoes and began my journey. Half way down the mountain I heard the unmistakable echo of gunshots from the other side. I cringed thinking about what fate had fallen upon…

opinions. On the other, I have no way of truly understanding the effect of racial discrimination on anyone, because I myself am the discriminator by virtue of my skin color. It creates a minefield of understanding, because race and gender are so heavily linked. I am oppressed in one category and the oppressor in the other.

affected you? Through the years I've incurred tremendous changes in how I view society; spurred on by the alienation I felt due to my legal status, the thirst for knowledge I possess, and my idealistic ambitions as well as positivity.

This can likely be attributed to language and cultural barriers in my early childhood when I arrived in the United States as well as knowing the disturbing fact; that I was undocumented, from…

the essentials they would need, such as, for example food, new shovels, water, etc. As time went by, the parents of the narrator begin to worry, saying that they needed to come out of the tunnel; that winter was approaching.

It portrays its different ways of which the characters were prosecuted for supposedly being involved in a lot of crimes that they did not necessarily commit.

in Chapter 7 stating, “I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find we are turned to hating” (Paton, 71).
