Matthew Delmont’s book challenges us to rethink the history of “busing,” Delmont intentionally places in quotation marks to show its importance . Before Brown v. Board of Ed in 1954, riding the bus was only for white children. School integration movement headed up North during the 60’s, and white people did not like this so they made the issue about busing.

Richard, a black teen living in the parts of Oakland more ridden by violence, has completely different circumstances, trying to figure out the spectrum of good and bad and where he belongs on it.

From the two stories “The Gift of the Magi” and “The Scarlet Ibis” I feel that “The Scarlet Ibis” is the more effective short story because of the emotion that the story carries and because of the context that the story displays. ”The Gift of the Magi” has a theme that touches the readers in a special way because they feel the love that the couple Della and Jim display for each other in the book. The theme of the book “The Gift of the Magi” is about love. It's a story about a poor,young couple that their love for each other is the most important thing in life, and they both give up their most precious possessions to be able to afford presents for each other on Christmas Eve.
