I feel like literature this quote embodies the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade because though these are words on paper, the words that are said and the way they are express is much more than a description. Its giving preceptive, it shows freedom of speech. The words used in the story gives much context on the tone, setting and what’s happening, however the perceptive that is give through the character we as reading are in the minds of, has been experience by many people while growing up. the feeling of other black being to “uppity” or “white speaking” / acting for their own good.  I personal have gone through this because I spoke very “proper” around my black family and friends, but I’ve also experience black people  feel “too good” to be around other black people and putting them down because they don’t pay the same amount of taxes. This piece of literature gives isn’t only a writing described by words. Its a story given with preceptives which can be related to many real experiences.
