When I hear of discrimination and racism, it just gets me mad because I think to myself why do people have to be like that, why can’t they just learn to accept that we live in diverse society and whether they like it or not, that’s life in the 20th century. Recalling from the our reading and not being able to understand what those two white guys thought they would get out by causing this harm to innocent people. I think to myself, is their life so miserable that they can’t handle it and has to harm others. Mrs. Watson thought that going back would be much better because when she lived there, everything was so calm and racism wasn’t an issue. But what she didn’t realize was that Birmingham was a perfect target for racism acts to be done because of the African Americans population. Therefore, because of that the Watson return backs home the same of the incident. Although, the story is fiction and the facts of some of the things that happened are not real but they have some truth to the history of the things that happened in that time. I wasn’t born in the time frame and can’t imagine the hardship that the people had to go through to live life day by day. I’m not sure if I would’ve been strong enough to have taken the horrible treatment that African American’s had to go through.
