Social levels 

In the story "Kaffir Boy" something happens that i have had felt before. in the story it is about a boy who lives in Africa and the school he goes to is for black and the kids who has less money and he explains how people make him feel about going there and that the white school is better because they have more money . well in the story he was really giving examples how he is nothing compared to this white people. in the beginning he realize how they are better the schools what they wear , how they get bused to school they have a pool cross guard they live in big house all that how they doesn't  have to go mow people lawns rake leaves and water flowers and be called names. so through the story he just like they are better than me him by giving him easy to read books because his mind is smaller and incapable of reading all this till his he start second guessing it .the are they better than us because they have this and i do not? the passage wasn't big enough for me to find out if the boy ever realize just because they have material things doesn't mean they are better than you. and i have learned that already. i was told before that i wasn't going to be nothing because i went to a black school and the education wasn't good and it was violence and gang activity i believed it for a second then as soon as i learned that just because a person was giving this doesn't mean he is going to have it that easy later in life because it was giving to them. the person wont know what hard work is because something was giving to them while because i didn't have it and i was always working for it then i will know what it is to do hard work. but in this story is also shows social level just like the last story. it showed what social level the blacks was on compared to the whites and how they blacks look at the white as they are lucky and i wish i was them and how the whites looked at a lower social level shocked in surprised they lived like this. do you think social levels matter on how we view people before we even get to know them ?

The Stolen party

In the story "the Stolen Party" there was a lot that happen but the main thing about this story that pops up is how would someone feel if they thought they was at an event for one reason as a guest but was really invited just to be entertainment and another thing that pops up is how was the Rosaura was so strong not to speak her mind and her feeling about all of it and in the story they compare her to the monkey in a cage and how she is stuck on that social level as a servant as the monkey was to the magician. this had to deeply offend Rosaura and her mother.i do not understand how people just because you have money can think you are better higher than someone to the point where you can just hurt someone feeling and make them feel like less of a person but to be exact be compared to a monkey. because somewhere down the line your family was always rich. in this story this made me feel weird and just made me realize that if i ever get rich i will never treat someone like less of a person how they did her. no matter how big i get that we are all humans. another thing that i realize in this story is social levels how just because she is the maids daughter they can be friends because shes not on their level she is  just seen as the maids daughter. social levels should never depict who your friends are. i could be a have billions doesn't mean i can be friends with someone who is middle class or is on  welfare money should never be how you judge a person character. Rosaura could have 1 dollar to her name but be the greatest person in the world. that another issue i seen in the story. this story shows you a lot with out you even know a lot of in time problems how people get treated everywhere daily. do you think what happened in this story is right? how she is treated right?

Gender Roles 

Gender roles. do you think because you are a man that you can be a stay home day that you have to be so called manly and go out and be the bread winner and be the only one to provide. that women cant go out in the work force and make more than the man and let the man take care of the kids.women have to cook clean and raise the kids by her self, this is so called gender roles is not  right everyone can do anything man or female and in the story's we have been read there is endless examples of gender roles but the story where gender roles is the main topics is "Girl" by Jamaica 

Kincaid. this story is about how a girl is growing from a girl to a woman and on her way through growth , her mother is teacher her things she cant and shouldn't do because she is a girl. so in the beginning of the story her mom was teaching her proper  edict how to walk and that girls go to church on Sundays but also how girls shouldn't  play with boys in the dark because it not lady like. so the next phase in the girls life is teenage like 17 and 18 years old the typicality age where girl and boys start to like each other and show emotion. well her mother let her know that you shouldn't show to man boys attention because you do not want people knowing you are a so called hoe and that if you finally find the right guy that he should only benefit you and that through all them year when she was younger she was just prepping g her to be a great wife how to clean iron cook sweep the corner of the house etc. all because  this is what girl do so through the story her mom was prepping her to do what people girl should do which was putting her in a typical gender role she didn't teach her to go for what she wants and how to do hard work gets success in anything she taught her to be a stay at home mom because that is what society thought women should do which is a gender role.would you teach you daughter to just do that how to serve a man or will you teach her how to be independent and how to go get what she wants?
