Recognizing her daughter’s ignorance, Cofer’s mother warns her by stating: “‘You are forgetting who you are, Niña. I have seen you staring down at that boy’s house. You are heading for humiliation and pain’” (972). Her awareness of racial prejudice leads her to warn Cofer of visiting Eugene’s house because she does not want this pain to inflict on her daughter. It is necessary for Cofer to be able to acknowledge the truth about of her culture, race, and class because people will discriminate others based off their identity, hence why her mother warns Cofer of visiting Eugene’s house. Not only does her mother warns her of the humiliation and pain that she will face, but she did not stop Cofer from leaving the house. Cofer needs to understand the circumstances that comes from her identity because it is essential to her coming of age. Instead, Cofer is walking into a reality, the true pain and humiliation, blinded after ignoring her mother’s warning.

Prejudice is the “injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in disregard of one's rights,” according to Merriam Webster. In simpler terms, prejudice is being judged regarding one’s religion, race, personality, physical appearance, etc. Unfortunately, everyone has given or received some form of prejudice. Prejudice also exists in the government, when cases and trials are solved. This can be shown through Reginald Rose’s novel, Twelve Angry Men.

    Many people see the world and others differently. Just like the two sisters in “Everyday Use”, the two sisters in “Two Ways to Belong in America”, and the father in the letter/short essay “An Indian Father's Plea”. All these people have different past and things they’re going through. The two sisters in “Two Ways To Belong In America” both have their different stories from their past, one likes America the other does not because they betrayed her. Next, the father from “An Indian Father’s Plea” sees America differently because the school was labeled his kid a “slow learner” which made him upset. In addition, the two sisters from “ Everyday Use” argue about a quilt in which they both view differently

Prejudice is an opinion in which is not based on any reasoning, and may cause harm. Prejudice can be seen just about anywhere, and it affects our daily lives. There are many different ways a person can show prejudice beliefs, but why do they believe things they have never experience? Some may say it’s something personal with one’s self that causes prejudice thoughts, or some may think it their surroundings contribute as a motive.

Prejudice is “an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge” (Merriam); according to Lystra Moore Richardson of Yale University: “prejudice… was part of the very fiber of Southern life [during the Great Depression].” With these two pieces of information, it is derived that people formed judgments and opinions of a person without just

Prejudice is something which has affected everyone at one time or another. It is like looking out a frosted window and not seeing a clear picture. When people look through a frosted window they sometimes see a blurred vision of the world outside. Sometimes we see people as very different from ourselves when really they are just a very little bit different from us. We can even see someone as an enemy instead of for who they really are. These narrow minded views in our society are prevalent, even though most of the time they are

“Prejudice is the child of ignorance,” Samuel Hoffenstein. Samuel is saying that because people are ignorant, they tend to think that they are “better” and people who are not like them are not as good as them. This is what Samuel is trying to say because many people who are ignorant do not have a solid education about the people who are not the same as them, so they think is is alright to treat them differently. They also think that since they don’t know very much about them and their culture, they don’t have to change anything about it. They want the people they discriminate against to teach them about their culture, and the prejudice people don’t have to attempt to learn about the people who are so called, “worse,” than them. The second

Sam’s mother is described as a sympathetic character when she goes to Florida. In Florida, Sam’s grandfather treats Sandra as a little child, yelling at her for smoking, telling her how to behave and act, telling her, her rights from wrong, and doing things for her without talking it with her first. Basically, her father still have full control of Sandra, and when she goes away she gains freedom. This is important because the reader is supposed to feel sympathetic towards her because we are now viewing and realizing why Sandra acts the way she acts. Sandra’s father is very controlling and always telling what to do, she never really had a mind of her own. Now sinces she is by herself with Sam she can actually make decisions for herself, but very poor decisions where Sam gets irritated. Another scene in which Sandra is depicted in a sympathetic way is when Sam discusses her relationship with her patient towards the middle of the story. Sam describes Sanda as a woman who's in the need of care because while traveling back and forth for her patients, she get scared at night and need someone to comfort with so she calls Sam for comfort so that she can go back to sleep. Again, the reader is supposed to feel sympathetic towards Sandra because we are not supposed to see Sandra as a selfish, aggressive woman. We should know and see that Sandra has a soft spot and can be gentle, but only for when she is lonely or needs to be comforted. Finally, Sam appears to have mixed feelings towards Sandra because he is noticing that his mother needs him desperately and the fact that she is not going to change because that is who she is. Sam realizes that she is like this for specific reasons and none of it is unnecessary. These different moments in which Sandra is described as a sympathetic character are important in Sam’s coming of age because Sam is rethinking
