Epilogue's Note

-
In Epilogue, the narrator is probably the author of the book, since she talks about her reason to write for her country. However, it is extremely hard that she has a chance to write because of her mom's expectation. Her mom expects her to work in regular jobs in order to earn enough money to support herself, while the narrator doesn't want to make recessions. As a Haitian writer, she is willing to record and spread Haitian cultures and she feels the responsibility from this activity. The Epilogue is named Haitian women, and the whole book mainly talks about Haitian women, which unifies the style of the whole book in different occupation, countries, situations. Obviously, compared to the other countries and male, Haitian women have no chance to chase their dreams, yet the book depicts how do Haitian women grind in the harsh environment.

I felt shy and embarrassed at the beginning, throughout two years' performance, and I became more and more confident to act in front of people and cameras. The class is called literature and performance so the other essential aspect is its literature. I still remembered the first book we read and the first performance, which is the monologue we played in the black box.  Fences talk about poverty and situations of African Americans. From the book, I felt how the power from people themselves explain the anger and uns...

The poem I chose

A Final Goodbye ©  Betty Janko Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. Perhaps up to heaven, maybe eternity, Or be reborn as another, when I am set free. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone. I was a survivor since my first breath was drawn. I loved and was loved by animals, and man, Siblings, friends and strangers, since my life began. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. I leave all of you with my love, and I pray That our souls will touch once again, someday.
