    My maternal grandmother Shirley Rae Harrington grew up during World War Two. But despite the war, she lived a somewhat normal childhood. When she was young there were very few other children in the area to play with and her younger sister, Sissy, was paralyzed. So she often played by herself in a stream nearby. Her family also owned several horses, chickens, pigs and a billy goat. Surprisingly she didn't get into much trouble as a child, except once when her family was down in our properties Maryland. People were racing speedboats in the creek, so she asked a neighbor who her family knew if she could go. He said yes and took her in his own boat when they got back her parents were fine but Mimi was upset with her. Her first travel experience…

    Have you ever felt like you were trapped in the wrong body? Often times people struggle with this question because they find it difficult to identify with one specific group, whether it be gender, race, religion, etc. For example, an interracial individual may find it more difficult when trying to answer the often popular Ethnicity question found on various forms. When that individual tries to answer, he/she may often feel they identify more with “African American” rather than “Caucasian.” An author, by the name of Judy Ruiz, wrote an interesting essay called “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy.” In this essay, Ruiz attempts to describe her struggle with the acceptance of her brother identifying himself as her sister. Often times it is hard to understand the full significance of changing views that have been so instilled in the mind in an attempt to connect with individuals who have those opposing views.…

    Anne Bradstreet’s poem, The Author to her Book, metaphorically describes a mother’s feelings towards her book being published without permission. The lines 10 and 20 indicate a shift of a gradual change in tone, from critical and embarrassed to acceptance. The baby described in the poem figuratively represents her book and her life. Primarily, the imagery contributes to the complex attitude of the speaker due to the descriptions of her flaws and errors that she has had in her life (book) that has already been published without her permission.…

    As I placed the car into park, turned the key off and stepped into the crisp cold winter air, I begin to feel my pulse raise. With each step we took drawing us closer to the door, I felt my heart beating faster. With a quick turn of the ice cold door knob, I found myself standing in a whole new world. The food, the music, the faces, the language, everything was different than what I knew. For the first time in my life I was the minority in my small home town of Winamac, Indiana.…
