Paper Summary:

The paper is a discussion and analysis of the two novels "Quiet Odyssey: A Pioneer Korean Woman in America" by Mary Paik Lee and "Coming of Age in Mississippi," by Anne Moody. Specifically, the paper compares and contrasts the hardships that Mary and Anne had to overcome. The paper looks at how their struggles were similar and different. These two women at first seem quite divergent from each other in experience and culture, but after reading these two books, it is clear these women have much in common, from their experience of prejudice and hate, to their ability to create meaningful lives for themselves while sharing their experiences with others.

From the Paper:

"At first glance, Asian Mary Paik Lee and Black Anne Moody could not be more different. One was an Asian immigrant who came to the country in 1905; and the other was a poor black living in the South at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Certainly, these two very different women, from far dissimilar backgrounds and generations, could have nothing in common. Yet, as the reader delves into their stories, they discover these two women have far more in common that first envisioned."
