http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fenloehs.wcpss.net%2Fresources%2Fkingsberry%2Fpropaganda.pdf&ei=PyevUvmzCobjsASyooGIDA&usg=AFQjCNGF3LcsA7McjXlWuu0hO0YeXXausg&sig2=kptazb7odmkb_vBblhZnDw&bvm=bv.57967247,d.cWc

CONTENT

1. What did the third floor of Walker's new grade school formerly house?
2. Describe the relationship between Miss Mey and the author's mother.
3. Who is Miss Yarborough?
4. How does the author feel about being on the cover of a magazine at the time of the writing of this piece?
5. Describe the author's relationship to her poetry.
6. How does Rebecca react upon viewing the author's eye? How does Walker react to her reaction?
7. What changes in Walker's life when she becomes eight years old?

STRATEGY AND STYLE

1. Explain this essay's title in light of the author's view of beauty and self-identity. How effective do you find it? Explain.
2. Discuss "Beauty: When the Other Dancer Is the Self" as a comparison/contrast essay. Support your answer with specifics from the text.
3. Why do you think Walker repeatedly puts quotation marks around the word accident? How can you relate this punctuation to her feelings about the event?
4. In the last paragraphs the author departs from her mainly chronological approach. What incidents does she recount? What would she lose if she presented these things chronologically?
5. In paragraph forty-three, Walker includes one of her poems. How else could she have conveyed this information? What does the poem provide besides information? How would the essay change without it?

While interest in Black Boy ebbed during the 1950s, one of his best selling novels, a resurgence of interest in critics, Black Boy remains a vital work of historical, sociological, and literary significance whose seminal portrayal of one black man's search for self-actualization in a racist society made possible the works of such successive writers as James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison. It is generally agreed that Wright's influence in Native Son is not a matter of literary style or technique. His impact, rather, has been on ideas and attitudes, and his work has been a force in the social and intellectual history of the United States in the last half of the 20th century. "Wright was one of the people who made me conscious of the need to struggle,"said writer Amiri Baraka.^[30]
