Where you can't see, everyone is trying to live. Who doesn't want to live in a peaceful country? So, can you let go of your color bias? This is an inclusive country, we all come from different places we all share the same goal, which is to live. VIETGONE

,KINDRED means people with the same blood in their bodies. Dana's severed right arm is a symbol that no one ever makes a full return from the weight of history!
#HongLit
She was more literate than the planter, and she didn't talk or act like a black at all (in that time), but she was. Even with her modern senses, she couldn’t revolt a slave owner who had nothing but guns, dogs and whips. #HongLit
As a modern person, Dana seems to be separated from other blacks, but the natural bond given to her by her skin color is unbreakable. Even if she takes the initiative to cut it off, she is destined to be unable to completely withdraw from the pain of history.

“To the man who shouted‘I like pork fried rice’ at me on the street”
This poem described the wanton appreciation of Asian women by foreign men. The author described that this man wanted to devour her, but she changed her traditional fantasies in her clever revenge. #HongLit
I am very lucky that I was borned in a peaceful country, where does not have racial discrimination. And my country stands for peace, hope there is no war, no racial discrimination. #HongLit
“Won’t you celebrate with me”when the author wrote this poem, she was experiencing the civil rights movement. That was full of racial discrimination. From this poem, we can see, she was abased. Also, the poem awakened a new sense of self among African Americans . #HongLit
