At the hand of Eunice Hunton Carter the struggle with America accepting diversification can easily be depicted within her narrative, The Corner. From start to finish the reader becomes captivated by a young woman from Harlem, New York, who finds that she is trying to break down the thoughts of what she calls “alien” America, as well as wonder why they cannot appreciate the beauty of things that are not materialistic, along with the diversification of the world they are living within. The struggle is seemingly played through several scenes that ultimately tie into one unified thought at the end of the narrative. Throughout the narrative it is easy to distinguish that the author is trying to convey the message that Harlem is simply not appreciated for its lofty diversification. As a reader, you may begin to notice as well that the narrator is indicating early on the sole diversity that will be discussed in more detail at a latter time within the narrative. Clearly though the narrator eases into the topic of diversification with the description of the house. The basis of the narrative begins with the narrator describing the house as being a quaint wonder for the eye, “… a doll’s house of white enamel and soft blues…” Perhaps giving a description of a house that maybe would have been seen in a white neighborhood and not a “black city”. Yet in contrast the narrator also describes the visions of oriental rugs and chrysanthemums, both which have origins outside of America, that are placed in the house showing additionally that the house has some variance as well as the outside world it is implanted within. The easing into of diversification continues as we go on to read that in this setting, you have several activities also occurring at one explicit time- frame outside the window of the house. Swaying back from each segment you can stipulate the exasperation the narrator is beginning to feel as they notice the “aliens”, preferably talking about the whites, as well as even her friend, that they cannot fathom the true riches of Harlem. Focusing on the reason that people tend to stay in a bubble, and can be quite oblivious to what is occurring around them. The narrator makes it easy for us as the readers to depict the on going frenzy outside of the window saying, “It was alive with light and sound, the light and sound of the city, the black city.” Giving the sense of enlightenment as well as harmony that was transpiring in this community. Even so this was not enough for the outsiders to stop and smell the roses. Continually in varying forms, the narrator blatantly points out that, “In reality as their cars swept past the corner, they were passing life by.” Simply recognizing that many of the white social crowd that came into Harlem were not truly appreciating the majestic culture and alluring sounds that Harlem had to provide. Also observing that the “alien pleasure seekers” who continuously drive into the black city for entertainment are removed from the transparent. The narrator properly explains, “They had missed a chance of seeing life when they didn’t stop and watch the boy on the corner who for clapping companions in front of the drug store was doing a dance that was a bit of Buck and Wing…” Showing that this outside culture, the “aliens”, were seemingly enthralled with all the supper clubs and activities that were of monetary value. Though they were not engrossed with the purity of what truly made Harlem the city it had come to be. You can also identify that within this time frame, blacks’ or any ethnicity besides Caucasian were just simply looked over. The narrator speaks on how the aliens pass by a politician of the local community while he is speaking on, “putting race first and country after”. Though there was much excitement it was drown out as soon as the police passed though. Showing that in this time frame of America the minority was not given justification equal to the majority. Making them seem as though they were just petty workers who were there for the pleasure of the whites. Also coinciding with the topic of politics was the young group of college students arguing about philosophy. Granted that many political figures retrace the thinking of great philosophers, translating their thoughts into a sense of political enlightenment. At this point the narrator seems quite enveloped with the outside world, as they lean toward the window wanting to know more of what was taking place down below. As the narrator has observed and taken in the many thoughts of the outside scenery they have decided to not wait any longer for their friend, and decide venture out into the street. Just as they were walking they crossed paths with “alien-pleasure seekers”. Once again putting into perspective that this was not a figment of imagination that they really did exist in the outside world. As they passed each other narrator speaks of cultural invasion alongside how the aliens could only fathom the faces as well as the laughter of one another. And once again they were missing what they longed for and what they seemingly sought after, “Harlem life.” The struggle for diversification is easily depicted in this last scene as the narrator possibly hopes that these aliens will notice the beauty of what is surrounding their inner world. As well as finding that they might even sometimes be blind to what true majestic value Harlem holds. To conclude throughout the narrative the narrator is on a continual quest to depict the diversity of Harlem and how it easily escapes the minds of the aliens that evade the streets to find monetary happiness. Though they can never truly see the beauty that is Harlem the narrator knows that one day this community will be seen equally whether it be within politics, or even artistically. Allowing aliens to see them as equals as well as the attributes they carry along with them.
