Stereotypes In George Saunder's Puppy

Marie values the affection and tenderness that were absent in the relationship between her and her mother. Therefore, she is insistent on being a caring and supportive presence in her children’s life. In addition, Marie is also hypersensitive to relationships that do not appear to embody her impression of family. This is apparent in Marie’s reaction to Callie’s treatment of Bo. Saunders states, “He rose to a sitting position, railed against the chain, whipped it back and forth, crawled to the water…took a drink: a drink from a dog’s bowl” (176). Marie’s description of Bo alludes to her own childhood. Marie was locked in a closet as a child, like a caged animal; consequently, when Marie compares Bo to a dog, she unconsciously references her own childhood trauma. She identifies Bo as a helpless child, like herself, and sees the cruelty of her own mother in Callie. Therefore, Marie’s narrative is not a concrete, unbiased description of what happened; instead, Marie’s perception is partial to her past experiences. On the contrary, the short story’s second narrator, Callie, views the same event from a altered standpoint.

Setting a novel in the south during the 1940s bring upon certain racial stereotypes that are deeply rooted in the mainstream culture. While these stereotypes may not always be true, they are extremely difficult to ignore and escape from. In Ernest J. Gaines’s novel A Lesson Before Dying, Grant Wiggins struggles to break away from the social norms of Bayonne Louisiana, and finds it challenging to convince others of his own worth. Although Grant has led a successful life, and has a respectable career, his white counterparts still treat him as a second-class citizen.

The line between being an acceptable and unacceptable parent is often blurry and is seen on different perspectives when it comes to class, culture, and generation differences. Based on the two stories of Amy Tan’s, “Two Kinds” and Tillie Olsen’s, “I Stand here Ironing” we see these two perspectives that derive from different maternal upbringings of the children in the stories. What is found between them is the conflict of being too little or heavily involved in a child’s life has had more negative outcomes during their childhood than positive.

Looking at George’s social self, he was not a social person due to the fact that his mother kept moving around most of the time; he saw no point in making friends because he wanted to spare himself the pain of losing his friends again once they have bonded because they will have to move to another place again. One may also assume that George did not socialize because he was afraid that when people talk about divorce and what a happy family they have, he might feel hurt all over again.

Ted Gup argues that making assumptions based on race is dangerous because stereotypes lead one race to against another, and hint one race is more superior than another. Gup introduces his article by describing a controversial magazine cover story about Asian-American whiz kids. Then he uses his five-month-old adopted Korean son being stereotyped as a smart student by his friend and the Korean store owner as an example to state that such assumption denies the individuality of each person. According to his observation of Chinese students devoting astonishing number of hours to their studies, Gup believes that his American students can have similar academic result if they invest similar time. He takes himself as an example of being a Jew but not doing well academically in class and his second adopted son having signs of laziness, to explain that the academic success does not depend on genetic traits of different races.
