As we all know, every person have a different interests. Each person can like various things. Even twins might a have huge gap between their preference. Its quite natural because we are human beings, not a herd of sheeps.

Everyone is free about choosing their own way to a limit where they cant hurt anyone and damage other’s freedoms. Being homosexual is a way of this path I was talking about. These people dont hurt anyone, but they were accepted as community “bad” or in a way “sick” people. Its obvious that they feel like outsiders because even when a person, who has no bad feelings about this, tries to talk over homosexuality, they can say its unlike normal relationships and etc. The normal word is quite important because we all know that its not normal, cos its not something that we used to. However all have to admit that it doesnt hurt anyone and there is no need to block their way and punish them for their choices. Humans always scared from the things that they dont know and although the possbility that they might be quite useful, they tried to destroy or disable them. The ideas and actions against the homosexual people are an example of this act which was observed throughout the human history.

I wouldn’t like to be in a relationship like. That or sure but its not a reason for other people have it, if they want to. Thats their own choice.

Moreover, in the both “What Are We Fighting For?” and “What Marriage Is For” readings, the concept of procreating was mentioned. First of all, having children isn’t the goal of marriage. In my opinion, its not even about economical adventages. Its about a the wish of loving couple to be together for the rest of their lives, of course as much as they can. Having a child is a kind of a product of their love. If they dont have a child, its not a huge deal beacuse thats what they decided to live with. In addition to this, there are many couples ho dont have children beacuse of not having time from working and some of them want to spend the money that they earned by themselves. Its not an idea that came up to my mind while I’m writing it. In Japan and China, people cant have child because of not having enough time to spend.  Their population’s young piece decreasing in every year. So having some few couples of homosexuals wont hurt the world. And they can raise children who dont have their parents because of many reasons.

I have to admit that this story was a bit strange. At least it wasn’t a thing like what I had imagined in my head when I first read the title of the story in the wednesday’s class during the presantation. People had ideas such “what we you and what you will be in future”, and this makes people to think about a social status of a person or job of them or even the money of that person; however being kidnapped by a man wasn’t one of the ideas which pop up at our minds.

It might be a good way to prove reader the negative/harmful sides of being a rebellious teenager. Its like the idiom that everyone might know. “My father was right” When you are 10, you listen what your parents say and accept it as right. However after 18 and till 30, you think that their ideas are just crap and your’s are quite better in nearly every part. When your age gets to 40, you start to realize, they were right.

This is a story of a girl who nearly rejects her family and seems to have walls between her and them. Not liking her mother because of not thinking in same way and making her doing what she does not want to do, her sister beacuse of being totally opposite of her; made her built those walls and not like nearly most of the things around her. But with the arrival of the man and taking her away from all of those made the things become more clear than ever. It made her become 40 in that age and made her realize the real values of the things around her.

Is Homer Barron black or not?

The narrator of the story is one of the people in the town and because of the fact that he/she is telling what neighbours know and their gossips, for some questions narrator doesn’t know more than reader does. However few hints can be find to be able to make a proper assumption.

From the story, it was told to the reader that Homer Barron was a dark skinned foreman, but a dark man doesnt have to be a black person. Their work is mainly working on streets under the sun and this might be the reason why his skin is dark.

Morever, there is a realationship between Homer and Emily. Since Emily was from a rich family, it wasnt proper for her to be with a man from lower class. All the town were gossiping over her and it would be mentioned because it would be a great disgrace for her if he was a nigger which will be equal to a slave in those days. And Emily has a servant who we dont know his name but only know the fact that he is “Negro”. If Homer Barron was a black person, it would be addressed directly as negro because people around were looking a reason to pity her.
