Multicultural societies are complicated, at least that is what I took from attending Claire Jean Kim’s talk. Afterwards, I pondered on how humans treat animals, cultural imperialism or what she calls a “multi optic vision”; which I interpreted as a multicultural vision, from her 2nd book, Dangerous Crossings.

“‘Look inside a high school, and you are looking in a mirror, under bright lights. How we treat our children, what they see and learn from us, tell us what is healthy and what is sick and more about who we are than we may want to know (Gibbs, 1999).’”(Beger 119). Gibbs through Beger tells the public of how unappealing public schools have become due to their carelessness and negligence.

the Chicanos did and wanted to do that for their own race. The main reason for the movement was plain and clear, equality. The movement consisted of land grants, farm workers, enhanced education, to voting and political rights(Jose).

These sparks were lives of thousands of plants and animals, and yes, humans too.

I believe it is human nature to hope for the best in future situations and to always embellish our memories of the past. I think that this is our way of coping with the present.

This being said, it came as a surprise to me that such a fundamental mannerism of humans drove me so near insane. Novel after novel, I found that the characters who I actively
