english 101 monday nights

I read the excerpt written by Maya Angelou called I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She was a southern black woman who went from having nothing but sympathy to hatred for this woman Mrs Cullinan that she had worked for.

It amazes me that we still judge and treat each other in this society the way it was back in the early 1930's
We say that we have come out of slavery but all we did was move on to other things to judge and criticize.
Now its all based on stereo types and sexuality........
So good for Margaret for not allowing some ignorant person to treat her as she pleased.....

  1. You do a good job connecting the past and present here. What more can you say about the present way that modern slavery exists?
