I moved this up from a comment to a post for Bobby...

Well hello there, my name is Bobby Light. I am speaking for my group who include Mark Twain, the infamous Charlie Murphy, and Kicklor 14. We are going to be commenting on the short essay called "In Our Glory" by Bell Hooks. Overall the essay was the better of the 3, it was very detailed and thorough, while still including interesting characteristics of the father's picture. One explanatory line that i liked was when she stated "his dark skin mingling w/ the shadows in the photograph." Its cool how the author pickes up every and any aspect of her fathers picture and gives it a reason or meaning behind it. For example when she states "there is such boldness, such feirce openess in the way he faces the camera". Another question we had was why she choose to tell us that her sister is a lesbian? All in all this was a very intresting essay, and an intising read.
