Dear Benedict,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your story as it portrayed the story from a Negro's point of view. I like the fact that you put yourself in his shoes, literally, when you write the story full of spelling and gramatical errors, emphasizing on the lack of education of the Negroes.
I liked the part: day three my jernell

So I stood there an waitet but I din get the boll. I liked it as it shows discrimination through a small and negligible event, which is in turn, more impactful.
However, I do want to point out that it is very tiring to figure out the words considering it is spelled the wrong way and it may not be very suitable to pass it up as an assignment or a test. Thank you.

I'm sorry to point this out Alastair, but this story was actually written from the perspective of a child with low IQ, and not who you thought it was.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would like to remind you not to stereotype these people as lowly-educated. It would be very offensive and unfair to them. Please, try to use kinder words next time.
