My Overall Experience

I have learned a lot throughout my experience at VG. In addition to gaining future contacts, I've had the opportunity to work with some great people. Voices from the Gaps has helped me to better understand some of the class readings as the work I was doing gave me a better reference.


Throughout the semester I have come across many influential women while working at VG. I have also aquired a great resource for future research. I have gained the insight of different cultures and have been able to understand Zora Neale Hurston's literature. Ms. Hurston is someone who we have read throughout the semester. I was able to read her biography and gain a sense of understanding.



Throughout the course of English Literature 1501: Literature of Public Life, I have been able to see what has impacted my organization. If it hadn't been for Dr. Martin Luther King, I don't believe that an organization like VG would be able to exist because it wouldn't be accepted in the American public. Not only would it not be accepted but most of the minorities would be slaves and wouldn't be able to read or write.


I have also been able to see the connection of feminism. Seen as though Voices from the Gaps only deals with women, people who work for VG could be considered feminists. The most interesting part of VG is that a majority of the people who work here are white men. Just goes to show what the American public has come to accept, and Dr. King was one of the greatest influences of today's world.
