Who Can I Relate To?

So far in my English class, we've heard from, Black men, Jewish women, Native American men, West Indian women, Indian woman Latin Women, African woman oh I forgot...Shelby was a white man, and so was Paul Theroux but I can't relate to any one of these authors. At the same time I can relate to all of them. They are all human beings with mother's, lovers, vises, and opinions. I am benefiting from the assortment of writers. It helps us to get along as neighbors. I didn't like Theroux, he sounded pretentious and bitter. I want to be able to understand everybody.
