READING & REACTING (FROM GREEN BOOK)

Question 7

Mama disagrees with Mrs. Carter about her brother’s book because she thinks that the book is melodramatic. Moreover, when Mrs. Carter told Mrs. Whitney about the heroine from the book; Zelma killed herself because she is a Negro even though she is almost white, Mrs. Whitney furious about it since her friend’s daughter and her cousin whose have white skin didn’t kill themselves even though they are Negro. This disagreement shows that Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Whitney are stubborn with each other opinion since Mrs. Carter agreed with her brother’s review that even though you are almost-white Negro with the determination but once you are a Negro, you will be a Negro as Mrs. Whitney still disagreeing with the claimed because the author is not even a Negro and he will not understand their lifestyle.
