My Selections:

1) "Girl"- By Jamaica Kincaid

2) "A Raisin In the Sun"- By Lorraine Hansberry

3) "Inspired Eccentricity"- By Bell Hooks

4) "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening"- By Robert Frost

5) "The Road Not Taken"- By Robert Frost

I chose these because they all seemed interesting. The first three short stories all seem cultural, and "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid describes gender differences as well, giving instructions on how a girl is supposed to behave and what duties that she must fulfill as a woman. Robert Frost is a famous poet, even though I am not familiar with his work, when I read his poems from the text I noticed how he used detailed imagery in his descriptions and how the tone of both of the poems seems like he is a lonely traveler.
