Bell Hooks and Hector Tobar's texts are very well written because they both talk about the constant changes they see in their communities. They both describe themselves as individuals who are different from their community, but who nevertheless interact with it. The tension in their texts is caused by the actions as well as the race that makes them inferior in the eyes of their communities. Both writers talk about being in a new community different from what they expected. Bell Hooks' experience in a new community is based on education. As a young girl, she had always wanted to become a writer, although at that time such an idea was unlikely. While Hooks attended an all-black school, she was excited to participate in the fundamentals of education. Every day, she felt enlightened learning from intelligent black women who were able to connect with students. However, due to racial integration, his school changed dramatically. She was forced into a racist society where teachers believed that properly educating black children would require political commitment. Teachers would also teach lessons reinforced by racial stereotypes. After these aftereffects, she despised having to go to school, not being able to reach her peak with the constraint of racist prejudices that undermined her confidence. Differentiating it from the community is its willingness to overcome the restrictions that people impose on it. She hopes to become a writer and make education something exciting and interesting. Being a student herself, she strives to improve the lives of those who journey through education. Hector Tobar's tension is similar, he moves to a new country and assimilates its culture while holding...... middle of paper...... The holidays are coming Deborah never misses the opportunity to celebrate the event and show enthusiasm. When she interacts with the community during this time, she invites her friends to enjoy the festivities with her. During this day, she will get together with her friends and enjoy each other's company. When she's not interacting with her friends, Deborah shows her gratitude to the United States at home with her family. Even though Deborah has lived in the Cayman Islands longer than in the United States, she still prefers her original heritage. Any chance she gets to return to her homeland to spend time with her family, she takes it. Her nostalgia for returning home always puts her at ease. With the integration of a new culture and her own, she enjoys the dual lifestyle and the endless possibilities of meeting new people..
