An Outsider's View

       In section 4, we learned about Crooks, The black stable-hand with a crooked back. Crooks, being black and all, was judged and treated unfairly by the other men. From experience, I know that being a minority or not being in the "in" crowd is not the best thing in the world. In elementaryschool I used to play with this girl that lived next door to me. I was about five and she was seven. We would play princesses and fun fairytale games like that. One day we were playnig those cames and I said to her, "I want to be the princess just this once." I never got to be the princess and I always went along with it, but i really wanted to be her this time. But the girl said," No, you can't play the princess, your just a nigger." And after she said that I asked my dad what that word ment and he said to me "Hope, not everything is as good as it seems to be. There are people that don't care what you act like, but if your black ,god have mercy on your soul, 'cuz they are never gonna' let that go. And whan they see you they don't see you they just see that your black." And from that day on I 've known how the real world is and it makes you sad inside to know that in front of some people no matter how hard you try you will always be seen or thought of as your minoritie or disability.
