Bambara's "The Lesson" And Wolfe's "101 Dalmatians" - How The Narrators Reveal The Struggle To Create And Maintain A Positive Identity In The Face Of A Mainstream Culture That Ignores Or Rejects Them
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Coming to grips with the harsh reality of racial bias and cultural privilege is a hard pill to swallow for adults who have, by the time they are old enough to forge their own way into the ethnically prejudiced world, learned to some extent to deal with such inequity. However, inflicting innocent, naïve children with the cruelty of racial divide is just about the most unforgiving act inclusive of the many hard lessons youth must learn. Toni Cade Bambara's "The Lesson" and George C. Wolfe's "101 Dalmatians" recount the shocking moments when each story's protagonist was forced to digest an ugly truth so painful that it served to alter the very direction their respective lives ultimately took.

to do with the person that you want "to be" when
you grow up. We will look at that historic puzzle
and its remnants in Bebe Moore Campbell's novel
Your Blues Aint Like Mine.
