I found both women stories remarkable so I decided to write about both. Did you know that a person could have ninty-two personalities? Well the first woman I am introducing is a remarkable story of someone who did. Her name is Truddi Chase. Truddi Chase was born on February 22,1935 near Rochester, NY. During the time of her childhood, she was physically and sexually abused. It makes me wonder if the abuse was the cause of her Multiple Personality Disorders. Sometimes tragic events lead people to lose themselves. In spite of everything, she seemed to have made it out alright. Truddi began an author. One of her books in particular was When Rabbit Howls. It was about her experiences with having multiple personalities. She also appeared on Oprah where she told her life's story. I find that inspring because not a lot of people can say that. Many people drown in their despair but she chose the latter.

In the play “A Raisin in the Sun” written by Lorraine Hansberry, she is able to take us to place to see what it was like for an African American family to survive in the mid-twentieth century.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) details the divide between cartoons and humans, two divisions of citizens in 1940s Hollywood. Within the two different groups of people there are multiple explicit differences which allow for the dominant group – humans – to marginalize and oppress the minority group – the ‘toons’. There is a strong lack of care for the environment by the humans as it is exploited and used for the purpose of industrialization, business prospects, and making humans' lives easier. The humans who own the corporations exploiting the environment and the ‘toons’ leading criminal gangs trying to destroy Toontown, the town where ‘toons’ reside, are the ones who hold the most power, but also the least respect for the environment. The use of biopower by the sovereign allows for them to maintain dominance over the minority groups and continued exploitation of resources. With constant surveillance of minority groups and regulation of normality by the dominant, the carceral network remains ever-present in the film as a system to reassure those in power. The environment holds many different meanings depending on the status, views, and placement of the humans or ‘toons’ defining what is sacred and how the environment should be used or not used. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) explores the ramifications of social inequalities as an extension and effect of environmental issues with an emphasis on environmental justice, biopower, and the carceral.

In A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, the Younger family is trying to achieve the American Dream, which is “the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American”(cite dictionary.com). The Youngers are a black family living in a poor part of Chicago. They inherit ten thousand dollars because Mama’s husband died. Mama is the matriarch of the Younger family. Each family member has their own idea about how to use this money to fulfill their dreams, and the play uses the decisions of the family members and other characters to show the reader that people’s actions are not always motivated by what they appear to be. Mama wants to use the money to buy a house in a white neighborhood, because she thinks it is a better environment for her family than their current living conditions and will benefit her family. Although there are a number of people in A Raisin in the Sun who appear too want to help the Younger family, Mama shows through her decision to buy the house that she is the only person that is looking out for the best interests of her family.
