Fisher stood before an audience of her peers and used many forms of persuasion available to her in order to evoke a positive significant response from her audience.

AIDS is a worldwide epidemic that has affected and is affecting millions of people. Even though it was not discovered until 1982 many stereotypes have come along with it. Mary Fisher is an AIDS community member and is not afraid to stand up and say so. Defending and helping those with HIV/AIDS and helping them spread the word instead of keeping silent.

For years, women have fought to gain the same rights and treatment as men. Those women that have been fighting to gain equality have been held back and their opportunities have been stripped away from them due to the simple fact of being women. “Feminism is the belief in social, political, and economic equality of the sexes” (Scholz 2013). The feminist movement has been the key factors in helping women gain equal rights for those who have been underprivileged of their rights and equivalence that society refuse to give to them. A woman has every right to be treated equally to men and feminism is accomplishing this slowly. Feminism is not only beneficial to women, it helps both men, women, and children because it is allowing the communities

“Hard times don't create heroes. It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed.” (-Bob Riley).This quote truly describes what it means to be a hero because a hero never gives up.

Throughout the novel the author, Sally M. Keehn, has written many interesting scenes. Three specific scenes that intrigued me are when Regina thinks she and Sarah will die when they’ve finally reached Tiger Claw’s village, but instead the Indians keep them alive. Another scene that caught my attention was when the Indians and Regina (Tskinnak) are dancing in a peaceful manner when suddenly Dupré, the Frenchman, comes and then the celebration of peace is changed into one that is of war. Another scene that comes to mind is when Woelfin scolds Regina for telling the children white man’s stories, but Regina tells her the Indians killed her father, but she still tells the Indians stories and she will share white man’s stories she remembers because, both, the Indians and White man’s stories teach the children lessons.

Screams and shouts sounded throughout the air. The smell of popcorn, corn dogs, and other unhealthily fried delights could be smelt from every direction. Yet two women in the busy crowd were unaffected by it all.

A few slave stories were more compelling than Margaret Garner's. She and her family were owned by a Kentucky plantation farmer, but then one night they decided to escape to Ohio with other slaves. Although the story of Margaret Garner showed similarity within the novel Beloved there was also some differences. A runaway slave deciding whether or not she’d kill the ones she loved before letting them experience the suppressed memories she tried so hard to hide. There was some resemblance with the murdering of the youngest child in both stories which helped framed Toni Morrison’s intentions of Margaret Garner’s story. This story of Margaret Garner was one that sparked deeper interest and compassion.
