    Junot Diaz's short story “Fiesta, 1980” gives an insight into the everyday life of a lower class family, a family with a troubled young boy, Yunior and a strong, abusive father, Papi. The conflict, man vs. man is one of the central themes of this story. This theme is portrayed through the conflicts between Papi and his son. Papi asserts his dominance in what can be considered unfashionable ways. Unconsciously, every action Papi makes yields negative reactions for his family. Yunior simply yearns for a tighter bond with his father, but knows-just like many other members of his family-Papi’s outlandish ways hurts him. As the story unfolds it becomes obvious that the conflicts between Papi and himself-along with conflicts between Yunior and himself-affect not only them as individuals, but their family as a whole.

    Did you know that over 3.2 million kids are victims of bullying each year? In the excerpt from Margaret Cho’s autobiography titled Camp Cruel, a young girl named Moran tells her experience with being bullied. She describes in detail what children did and said to her and how she dealt with it. Moran goes on a church summer retreat with kids that she’s known all her life. She speaks about how she was picked on by everyone she came in contact with at the retreat. Most of the kids at the retreat would call Moran, “Moron” because they said that this name was a better fit for her. Their constant rudeness really discouraged Moran. She was just a young Korean girl wanting to fit in and make friends. However, she couldn’t even do that because she was constantly getting bullied by everyone. As the story continues, Moran comes to her senses and realizes that what other people think about her does not matter. What matters most is what you think about yourself. You must push those negative people away in order to survive.

Well, getting to know a person requires much more than the time it requires some praying about that person first before making a commitment. I’m sorry to that has happened to you. Because no one deserves to be treated so awful and wrong, but you know that the seeds you sow will come back to you. I know I kept reading that you were no longer single and were off the dating market. Mr. Gill, I have never met you in person, but I was so hurt. You have a million ladies who were crying :) Sometimes I ask myself how is it possible for me to fall in love with your voice. I’ve had a very bad day at work; students wanted to
