Week 3 assignment

1) What was the author's purpose in writing this story?

I believe that Kim's purpose of writing this story was to tell everyone about the damages of racism and what it does to the people that try to be diverse but difficult for them because of the people that criticizethem just because of their racial background. This story has a very emotional mind setting, and the emotion of the story persuades you to think literally about the situation.


2) Write about an experience that you might have had in dealing with diversity.

Diversity effected me bofore. My mom won a award for being the BEST Retail Director in the USA at her job, but she ended up getting the lowest bonus because she is a female. The head executives in that company are all sexest because they always give my mothers business partner a higher bonus than her and if you ask me he does a crappy job.(from what I've seen)

Anthony,
You state that the author's purpose was to persuade, but your supporting details point to the purpose is to inform. Interesting that you were able to see the connection from a gender point of view. i like the look of your blog!
