Irene is generally proud of being African American but when she passes as a white woman on occasion, you can tell that she loses some of her dignity since she feels as if she is sinking down to Clare's level. In my eyes, I feel as if Irene is a hypocrite because of her disapproval of Clare's passing, but considers it acceptable for herself to pass when she feels it is needed. The
to 1650 A.D. Columbus did not find the Americas. Therefore, he should not have been given credit for finding the Americas when he did not even have the knowledge to know he was really in Americas, not Asia. Giving the credit to Columbus is quite frankly unfair to Native Americans and should be a rather disappointment to the United States human society. It has been said that Columbus “proved the world is round.” Educated peoples in Europe already knew the world was a sphere about more than 1,500 years before Columbus was born.

In my own opinion I would not take the pill just due to the fact that I would never be able to dream again, which is a huge thing for me. If one were to take the pill to allow them to survive on one hour of sleep a night it would result in many changes. The biggest of them all being never having the ability to dream again. Some of the many advantages a person could gain by taking the pill would be adding 7-8 or more hours a day to do whatever need be. Whether it be cleaning, studying, sports, or just time for yourself never being able to dream again, I believe, weighs out all of those heavily.
