1. Does this essay speak to you in any way?
Yes it does, in some ways I can relate, as a child i never noticed any difference and never bothered to pay attention to the color or race. As a child I was more into having fun and trying to get to know the people around me, i guess the in the innocence of youth the curiosity for ones color is not there but instead of how to have fun, I wounder why that maybe lost as we get older.
2. What do you notice about her choice of word, her image, and her tone?
She is very descriptive in her choice of words she really gives the reader an image to put to the words to describe how she feels. Her tone thru out the story is more upbeat and more of not really understanding why just because of color someone could be different. She has more of a curiosity type tone thru out parts of the story when she is not being descriptive.
3. How about you? Was there a time in your life you were suddenly aware of differences in people? How did you feel about it?
As a youth up until i was in high school I would have to say no the only differences would just be skin color but no difference in peoples capabilities to me everyone was the same. Wasn't until I got to high school when i noticed a few differences but mostly between the sexes in having different privileges but did not become more apparent when joining the workforce after high school. I have always had a very well diverse set of friends.
