Say Yes by Tobias Wolff & Bread by Sandra Cisneros

Tobias Wolff said why "Think a lot of things" (paragraph 36) if you are in love with each other regardless of how the two people are different. I answer questions in the context of the story. According to the context, "many things to consider" refers to the race, the husband's background. In his view, in addition to whether to love this person, ethnicity and moral background are also very important factors in considering whether they should be married or not. They are not of the same race, they said they are not the same culture, they have different languages, he said.

"Say" TOBIAS WOLFF (1985) TOBIAS WOLFF 's short story "Say Yes" speaks of the ordinary dispute between husband and wife from a limited third party perspective. This view follows the husband 's view, and the technique of the story reveals the husband' s personality to the reader more than he can understand himself. Caucasian PROTAGONIST considers himself to be an enlightened person ("The way to help cooking is a way he feels compassionate"), he said that his wife was forced to ask a question I keep a few prejudices. In a discussion on racial issues, his wife asked if she was a black whether to marry her. The overall debate between discussion and husband and wife relationship is the question of how many people can recognize other people or even their own. This story is summarized in his second short novel collection "Return to the World" (1985) and shows the proficiency degree of Wolf's dialogue.

Tobias Wolff's short story "Say Yes" has only two persons, unnamed husband and wife Ann. They are presented in anti - conflict fashion, and the majority of their characteristics are indirectly obtained from their dialogue. Both of us are static, but my husband changed attitude at the end of the short story. When it comes to their appearance, we know that they may be a pair of middle-class white couples. Aside from white, this is the only relevant aspect of the plot, so there is no description about the appearance.

I remember reading Tobias Wolff's short story "Say Yes" (1985) at high school. In the story, when a topic of interracial marriage appears, her husband and wife are washing the dishes. My husband does not believe that people with different ethnic or cultural backgrounds should get married. He tells his wife, "How can you understand people completely from different backgrounds?" The story does not decide the husband and wife's race, but it is obvious that they are not black (probably White). This is important when discussing this short story with students; many stories and novels do not refer to the race of the narrator or the hero, whites are considered "ordinary", so the narrator and the hero are usually white It is considered. This provides the student with an opportunity to talk with racial roles (about visible or about the behavior and behavior of groups of characters or characters in literature).
