Analysis of The Loves of Franklin Ambrose
             This short story was about a college professor and different women in his life and how he felt and acted towards them.

One example of this from the story can be found on page 1 when Frank makes a mean, sarcastic comment to another black professor just to amuse his white friends. He not only had a negative attitude toward this man because he was black, but h...
