Both Toni Morrison’s “Sweetness” and Edward P. Jones’ “The First Day” are short stories written by African American individuals. Other than this very basic similarity, these stories and their authors bear resemblance to each other. Both of the authors lived in a time before the internet, cell phones and probably more importantly the rise of an equal rights for all races movement. Given these facts and their shared African heritage, it is understandable both of the stories have at least an undertone of racial issues. On the more superficial level both “Sweetness” and “The First Day” feature a mother-daughter relationship. Even if this relationship is present in both stories, the qualities of this mother-daughter relationship and the tone of

Although male figures are usually known for being providers and protective, the father in this story has crossed that line and is over controlling.

He then begins to set rules and restrictions in the household and is the only one who works and is allowed to leave. Yunior and Rafa realized his authority when Yunior attempted to go outside and Papi grabbed him by the ear and said "You 'll go out when I say you 're ready." (P. 126) Papi is really hard on them if they mess up. Yunior was unable to tie his shoes in front of his father. His father tells him "I met some dumb men in Guardia,

There were rice plants on my left and farm animals on my right. I grew up in New York City, so you can imagine the millions of questions that were running through my head. I’d never been to the countryside of the Dominican Republic before, but when I finally did, I couldn’t be more ecstatic, despite the scorching Caribbean sun burning down on my brown skin. I hadn’t visited the Dominican Republic since I was four years old. All I had was vague memories of my grandmother’s boisterous laugh and the chickens in the backyard I loved chasing after.

It's like lightning without the thunder. It's the “magic” that these microscopic creatures portray that make them so fascinating. How could they possibly so intriguing? At first glance, “The Lighting Bugs Are Back” by Anna Quindlen appears to be about how people compress the complexities of their lives into simplistic and nostalgic terms. But closer inspection reveals that the author is encouraging the reader to allow simple fragmented memories to trigger a wave of nostalgia.

They also place cheese there and put the enchiladas in the oven so they can cook and the cheese can melt. It usually takes around 15 minutes.

A quiet kitchen, full of fresh fruits and vegetables, all sitting around together. This is what Water-melone saw as a young girl carried him into his new home and plopped him down on the counter.

Then one day, Water-melone noticed that some of his friends were missing. George Grape hadn’t shown up to breakfast that morning, and Sally Strawberry wasn’t anywhere to be seen.

When examing the story about Hendrik Albertus and Mey, the relationship between master and slaves is evidently unique. In the beginning of the story, one can find an expected relationship where the slave does something that the master does not like causing the master to therefore punish the slave. This was seen in the story when Mey and some other slaves “dawdled and resturned to their jobs a half-hour late.” Hendrik is upset by the disrespect from his slaves and has his son punish them to the extreme. Because the slaves disobeyed his master, this form of punihsment was not unconventional. Five days later, Mey was whipped again. This time, he was whipped by Hendrik himself for not working fast enough. The reason he was not working fast enough was due to the fact that the whipping from the first punishment had not healed. Mey was clearly offended and wronged. He acted on these feelings by going to the Protectors of Slaves in order to seek help for the way his master violated him.
