„It Ain’t Easy to Forget - Trauma and Memory in Shirley Ann Grau’s Homecoming
Contents:
Mr and Mrs Adams, whose last name suggests a humanity that has not been entirely effaced, briefly mention other villages that are either talking about giving up the lottery or have already done it. Because of the subconscious fear, they do not suggest that their village should give it up. Their reservation may indicate a vague sense of guilt concerning what they are about to do.
She would not have had anything against the fact that someone else had been chosen. Stoning Tessie is the only way in which the villagers may express their dissatisfaction with the social rules and repress their own temptations to rebel. As far as the nervous laughter of the crowd is concerned, it expresses uncertainty about the validity of the taboos that Tessie breaks. Yet, the anger at the rebellious victim is what dominates as the villagers are aware of the dire consequences that resisting the social rules may have. One of the most important elements of the collective order in the village is the social ladder and the division of work which is closely connected to it.

Seminar paper from the year in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: Among them is the talented Pulitzer Prize winner Shirley Ann Grau, who sheds a fresh, new light to common southern themes incorporating them into narratives touched not only by her personal perspective, but also the collective southern heritage and consciousness.
The subject matter of my paper will be one of Grau's short stories entitled 'Homecoming'. In this short, yet meaningful account of everyday life in the American South during the Vietnam War Grau unearths a string of relations between life and death, the present and the past, remembering and forgetting, pride and honor as well as patriotism and egoism. She focuses mainly on what remains, but never forgets to neglect what has gone. The strongly southern theme of nostalgia for the lost past is questioned in 'Homecoming' as the protagonist struggles to detach herself from the memory of all those who failed to come home.
In this paper I would like to primarily focus on the importance of memory as a factor shaping the southern identity. Look at the Birdie Short Story.
