Summary: Chapter 3 Maya Angelou's Text
In chapter 3 Marguerite mentions how momma was mocked by the troop of powhitetrash kids. She explains how momma sent her inside although Marguerite wanted for momma to go inside as well. This is an example on one of the prompts Professor Anitnora gave us on essay 3 which would be in the category of racism. The group of girls mocked momma and were making rude and smart remarks to her. As followed one of the girls disrespecting momma by also showing momma her, her unnecessary privates. The group of girls thought it was pretty funny on what they were doing to momma while Marguerite was so emotional full of anger and tears that she wasn't able to do anything for grandmother.
Response: I thought this scene was one of the best examples of racism in the text. I believe Marguerite felt horrible watching her grandmother be mimicked by disrespectful children. And also due to the remarks and rudeness by the girls I thought I was very racial of them and found it unnecessary they things they were doing and being said. If I was in Marguerites shoes despite how momma was towards her grandchildren I would of told those many things not giving one damn about what I'd say to them. Well that's my honest opinion if I were Marguerite.
