Leland Sedberry Professor Fielden 10 February 2014 RWS 305 Memoir Final minutes of the first half winding down, my team was marching down the field with a purpose. Across the gridiron was our rival team, Mayfield, who we had beat the previous year in the state championship game. It was a cold November night and the stage was set, playing on their home field, “The Field of Dreams,” in Las Cruses, New Mexico in the semi-finals of the state tournament.

Santiago Torres Dr. Billie Jones English 1101-23 1/20/14 Misleading 100 As usual, I sauntered in the hallway, dreading getting to my American literature class. Mrs. Fisher announced to the class, “Your next assignment is a research paper on an individual that had a great impact on Black History.” As soon as I heard the announcement, my heart beat increased and my palms began to sweat. Literally, I dropped my face on my desk and whispered, “God help us all; I’m about to fail this class.” I

“This will be a life changing experience! I promise!” she said, rather ecstatic. “Sure. Sounds great, I’ll be there.” I had just agreed to a church related event that would have me locked in for 3 nights, I might as well sound happy about it. At least as happy as one would be in a high school math class, there are not many things that can change the inherent boredom of such place. Mr. Flores did his best to keep us focused, but hardly ever accomplished it. I never had much trouble with math, so

Oof! I plopped into an itchy polyester chair, the aisle seat of the other three. Looking at my ticket my seat letter was C. Quickly I scooted over to the middle itchy polyester seat glancing my rump on a metal seatbelt buckle. While trying to discreetly rub the pain away I wondered why an airplane line would letter its seats A, B, D, C, E. My hypothesis: they enjoyed laughing at the unlucky person who got seat C and had to scoot from aisle to middle causing her to hit her derrière on the seat buckle

stereotypes do not take into the account of differences among the Orient. It is out of fear and apprehensiveness that lead to the birth of such unjust stereotypes, the film “Memoirs of a Geisha” directed by Rob Marshall highlights the irony of the stereotypes resulting in fragmentations of identity. “Memoirs of a Geisha” (Marshall, 2005) offers an interesting twist to our typical story-telling, the women are no longer silenced, and the story is told through the voice of a woman
