David Sedaris is the author of “Us and Them,” an excerpt from a work entitled Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. It is a first person narrative that centers on the speaker’s family and their time spent living in the state of New York. More specifically, this story focuses on one of the neighboring families who did not own a television. In a deeper context, this story illuminates the truth of how easy it is for humans to ostracize one another for even simple differences. Not only does the speaker

steamer by creating an ad around the World War II icon, Rosie the Riveter. Rosie was campaigned to get women back into the workforce in about the 1940’s and Swiffer is bringing her back to doing household ‘chores’. This ad includes a woman with a denim top, rolled up sleeves, and a polka dotted bandana but instead of her showing off strength, she is holding a Swiffer Steam booster.

My sister Julia, at the age of twelve, went to school on a Tuesday. Though on this particular day, she chose to wear her brand new short overalls she had gotten as a birthday present. The shorts, which she wore with pride, were denim and accented with lace. When she wore them, her face exuded confidence. She strut into the kitchen, singing loudly as she went about her tasks.

But, as the very definition of the word suggests, tropes have the potential to get old and stale fast. Watching the same bucktoothed, denim-wearing hillbilly plant an axe into the head of some city-goer over and over again can admittedly get boring. Yet, for some odd reason, it never

California, I have found it, according to their state motto. A land plentiful in beauty. The north houses massive fields, ideal for harvesting the fruit of the vine. The middle of the state contains a massive hub for immigrants, a bridge made of gold, and buildings widespread. Down south there is an odd combination of Hollywood stars that own ten million dollar houses, while at the same time, only 80 miles south lies an area with a large Hispanic influence. Imagine multiple cultures encapsulated
