Whats Your Name Girl

Well, It isn't Anne Frank. I hope everyone appreciated my analysis of Anne Frank. Anyways, Maya Angelou was a black woman that lived during nineteen twenties and survived in a poverty stricken area of the south. It appeared as if Maya had to take on the role of an adult at an early age.

Black women did not have any of the available cultural activities. The life of a black women during this time was one of segregation and discrimination. This was the environment she grew up in. She talks about the people in her life and her every day life experiences. Ms. Angelou wrote from the negro perspective during the nineteen twenties. Her writings seem to express the culture and the problems that were endured by black people during that time period.
