Schools and society's can become more accepting of works such as "How to date a Brown Girl" if they would just give everyone a fair chance. Instead of calling it Black, White, Hispanic, Indian Literature and so on why cant the world just look at it as LITERATURE. The world gets to caught up in skin color. Everyone needs to be given a equal opportunity and chance at getting there point across. To quickly a school or community can shut out certain things (such as Hispanic Literature in a white neighborhood) just because it does not fit with what they regularly read.
Each works was Unique in its own way. "How to eat a Guava" was written from a childs perspective but by a adult. It showed what kids in her native culture do on a regularly basis compared to how now as she is a adult in America, can just buy them from a fruit stand. The other work "How to date a Brown Girl" is written in a manner that is very strait forward. Instead of giving leeway and saying stuff to avoid going straight to the main point, the author tells you everything exactly how it happens. The final work "Hell-Heaven" shows how up tight the Indian culture is. Where the white man has freedom to do whatever he pleases the women is stuck in her culture. Each writer expresses a different problem or event in there society and it goes to show how different cultures are depending on where in the world you originate from.
