Game Room Summary

In chapter 1 of Sister Citizen titled Crooked Room author Melissa V. Harris-Perry illustrates a study of subjects placed into a crooked room. The subjects are then asked in a variety of scenarios to attempt to re-align themselves. The results came as much of a surprise to the researchers as what the subjects perceived as “straight’ was heavily skewed. Harris-Perry used this crooked room example to support as well as confront the gender and race stereotypes that black women still face in society today.

According to the article “Be a Gamer, save the world” by Jane McGonigal, in the world, we are living in, games are able to be the main element in answering to the challenges of the real world.

Also, they have other life responsibilities to care about. There are some great points in the games that are beneficial for players.

The short story “That Room”, written by Tobias Wolff is written all around symbolism. One of the first examples I originally noticed was how he would sometimes gaze out into the fields as an escape from the current job he was assigned to such as “shoveling shit” or “hacking weeds”. As the story goes on, the narrator finally gets what he wants, a job in the fields with the other boys. After he obtained that job, that room that they stay in is a horrible place to live, the conditions are terrible and it is one of the grimiest places possible.

One glaring problem he realized was the wealthy elite would always strive to increase their fortune while the lower class want enough to just live comfortably. To do so the lower class rely on the wealthy to provide jobs in order to scrape a living; here Carnegie realizes something that Marx would appreciate, that the wealthy are aware of this mundane face and can exploit them for a profit. But out of this comes progress and escalation of comfort. Carnegie states, “We start, then, with a condition of affairs under which the best interests of the race are promoted, but which inevitably gives wealth to the few. Thus far, accepting conditions as they exist, the situation can be surveyed and pronounced good” (Carnegie). There are distinct lines between the employer and the employee and while there is not too much intimacy between the two, the relationship works perfectly well. The friction would ensure that things get down and the wheels of industry keep turning without any potential
