| Why? Why can’t a black person have the right to eat in the same place as a white person? Are we too dirty, too dark, or are you afraid we might rub black on you? Do we carry some disease that no knows about and only white people can get it? Why is it that a black school can never get the schools supplies they need, but a white school get all the supplies they need, let me guess us black people are only going to be maids anyway or do some odd job when you need us. Why is it that you can’t eat with us but you can sleep with our women are they not black? Why do you call us “nigger�, is it just to put us down because you know that if you didn’t we could become some of the most intelligent people of this world? Why is it that when we work for you you act all nice, but when your with your friends you shun us away like where no one? Why do you put us down when we tell you are dreams, is it because you know that we can one day be higher in stature then you? My black people why do you let people put you down? Why do you let people predict your future? Why do you put your dreams aside just because some white lady tells you your not good enough? Why do you blame white people for your problems do you not know that they are only an obstacle in your life? Only you can make your dreams come true not whites, blacks, or Hispanics, so ask yourself this question are you going to choose your future, or are to going to have someone tell you your future? by Roxanne F. |

| he Joy Luck Club describes the misunderstandings of two generations. Amy Tan shows us China, Chinese- American women and the motherhood bond in ways that some people have not experienced. In the 16 interlocking stories puts in the mother, wife, aunt, lover, sister, friend, or any other woman out there. The women in this novel are strong, intelligent, and show their true wisdom, you see the women out there are great. I will also have to say that " The Joy Luck Club " was a bit boring at sometimes, but if I want to pass, I had to get through it. In the end, I give it my thumbs up, and recommend it to all the readers out there. Amy Tan has her talent in writing good books; if you want to read any other books by Amy Tan, check out The Kitchen God’s Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses. "THUMBS UP! Great Novel!" -- Samuel P.

| "ODE to a MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM" by Arturo N. How cruel faith is To be told who to marry And to defy the law What a heavy burden to carry And yet in the dark forest Four lovers scurry about And a lost actor now an ass Ears hair and snout Faries work their magic dear Mischief now I know is near A quarrel will be known for ages For love, for art, for a mage it seems For lovers, and actor, the faries All with a Midsummer Night’s Dreams |
| For Shakespeare's Julius Caesar 1ST Poem by Nancy T. Runs like a Tiger Through the forest of battle. Walks like a Bear Helping its friend and family. Flies like a Butterfly And watches the bee sting. What a friend, what a friend. Jogs like a squirrel And his wife dreams of his death. Runs like a Dog Through the forest of fear. And Guess what happens. |
