Displaced Person

I thought the “Displaced Person”, was a very honest story due to the fact that it is true how society teats immigrants even in today. People are constantly blaming and immigrants and acting just as Mrs. Shortely does. Mrs. Shortley is very critical and uses names to make fun of the immigrant like the Guizac’s she calls, “Gobblehook, but not to their faces. I also found it interest how she brought the “negros” into the story and showed how Mrs. Shortley acted around them as well. It showed that closed mindedness is not just to one group but rather it spreads to all groups that are unlike her. I also thought the Priest had a very interesting role in the beginning that seemed to emphasize the idea that not all people feel the same as Mrs. Shortely. I also liked the fact that this story shows that people do not change even today we still hold certain ideals that are outdated just because our parent or grandparent believe in them.
