We read the story "Only A". If absent , you can find it on the assignments page. You will need this to do your homework.
If absent, answer the following questions for class credit:
1. Think back to the last time you stood up for someone who was teased. Was it hard to do this? Why? Were there any consequences?
2. Why might the author have chosen a “mad/man woman” as the target of this story? Why does the author wait until the end to reveal that the woman is black?
3. Which came first?: Did racism lead to Apartheid , or did Apartheid lead to racism? Explain your answer.
