This class has been an interesting expeierence for me. I am happy I took it this semester, because I feel like it has prepared me for classes I'll be taking in the future. It also got me to read things that I would never even consider reading. And some of those books or stories have turned out to be some of my new favorite books/short stories. "The Yellow Wallpaper", "This Blessed House" and Power are three things we have read in this class that I really enjoyed and probably won't ever forget, partly because of the characters.
In preparing for the final, however, I must recall the characters from Lucy, Translations and Power. Each of these stories had characters which represented something. Lucy represented a struggling teen finding their identity both as a foreigner and an adolescent. The Donnelly twins in Translations were a clear represtentation of Irish nationalism. Omishto struggled as well, between two worlds- the tribal and the current U.S. society. These are just a few characters from the stories, and it is important to remember the other characters and what they represented as well.
