On one hand, you have a black South African servant girl having to be willing to let this white farm boy,” baasie” (little master) kill her baby girl after a childhood of friendship which developed into an intimate relationship. On the other you have a church filled with individuals claiming to practice God’s word, but have them push another human being out on the cold street when all she wants to do was worship in the warmth. Both of the short stories shared a common ground of racism, but the authors had a different way of illustrating this to their audience. I had one that was direct with pointing out the facts of how a young love was formed over the years and the other used symbols and other gestures to help express the tone and show the setting of the story. I really enjoyed both of the writer’s styles. We all understand that racism comes in all different shapes and sizes and these story touches on a few things. Having “The Welcome Table” begin with a poem that expressed what the theme of the story was genius. I have never seen an author do something like this before. So it had you thinking as soon as you sat down with the story. The poem sets the tone showing you that you would be sitting amongst others that should be welcomed and you should have a carefree attitude while you with your host and others. So the analyzing process starts right away. This story was very poetic in a sense. The form that it was written you have to look into the symbols and form a conclusion on what the hidden message may be. I feel as if I read it over and over I will continually discover something new. This was a new constructive way I was introduced to for a short story. On the other hand “Country Lovers”, was more along the typical form that s... ... middle of paper ... ...to literature (chapter 3) • Clugston, R. W. (2010). Poems for Reflection.

Each viewer’s interpretation of these two different pieces would be based on their own inner feelings. The reason I chose these two pieces is that I see them as total opposites. Each of these artists chooses to portray an image of a human like object in two different ways. In one side you have Fred Tomaselli using different items to express openness while you have Bettye Saar using her artistic skills to express a struggle of freedom. Since these images defined how Blacks were often perceived by Whites and were often times the source of how Blacks saw themselves.
This essay will explore one of the possible combinations of theories on personality and explain how it can be applied in practical therapy.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Personality is characterized by many dimensions of a person’s overall being. The belief that personality stems from one origin is small minded and on many levels, unsupported. If the scope of personality is expanded, it suggests that there is not a single explanation determining a person’s personality and how it is formed. Personality Theories have been generated for centuries by individuals who desire to identify what distinguishes a person’s personality and how it affects their behaviors. What is it that comprises all the unique characteristics about a person?
I believe that if the reader were to take a deeper look into all of the symbolism in the story, one would find that the summation of all the symbolism is equal to not only the struggle of this black boy, but the struggle of blacks at the time in which the story takes place. I think that if one were to analyze the grandfathers dying words, one would find the view of most conformist black Americans. The only way for a black person to excel at
