The part I found most interesting was the fact that quotes were integrated into the reading. Talk of change is very important in this section. "Right, dialectics is a logic of change, and change is embedded in every situation. It's a logic that provides not only hope but real possibility,"(pg 326). This section emphasizes that change is necessary to move forward and realize your freedom. When you think that change is possible, it gives the hope of a better future. Dreams then have the capability of becoming reality. I can compare this to Lakota Woman. Mary Crow Dog shows that she has a fire in her soul, and a hope for change. She acts on her desire for change making the possibility for equality possible.

During
this section of the story, the characters are getting married. In between each
piece of the story, a quote is placed that describes either war related, societal,
or political issues. The pieces of story describe the peace, tranquility, and
happiness of the marriage. It shows that despite what occurs in society and the
outside world, peace and happiness can still be had; people can ignore the bad
to preserve the good times in their memory. If just for a day, problems can be
forgotten to celebrate special occasions. This shows that people are strong and can look past all of the bad things to find the good.
