because she was wanting the reader to let it sink in and for us to actually think about it, and remember it in the future.

I think Alice Walker left details out to make the reader more involved in the story. The reader has to use the small details given to figure out where and when Myop is living. The text says Myop's family had a sharecropper cabin so the reader  has to infer that she was an African American living in the south after the American Civil War. She left out details of the man to give the reader the feeling of mystery. Readers have to infer why he is there and what will happen next.

I think she wanted us to be able to infer what happened after the story ended. With the clues and details left by the author we could only infer what actually happened. There is a need for prior knowledge when it comes to sharecropping in the period

I think that Alice left a lot out of the story because she wanted to leave a bit of a mystery for the reader to assume things about the man and how he died. There was many holes in the story, The man was found in the woods beside a sharecropper's land, that's all the information we are given. The man could have been a sharecropper himself, but that is up for you to infer. The mystery of his death is till up for grabs as well. That's why i think that Alice left so many holes in the story.

She probably left it like that so we could infer. She leaves us with little to no evidence at all. The only descriptions we had of him was his physical appearance excluding his race. So she left us with the question of 'was he black or white?' She tells no further information about him and his cause of death. All we know is that there was a noose and a broken ridge between his brow and nose. We had to infer the rest.

Alice wanted us to use our imagination or to infer want happened to the man, and for us to be more engaged in the story. "...rotted remains of a noose.." is a detail that engaged the reader to infer.

I think she wanted us to infer where the story was going. The story kind of forced you to pay attention to small details like the fact that Myop lived on a farm in a sharecrop cabin, and that she was African American. Using small bits of information, and some outside knowledge you can infer that this took place pretty soon after slavery ended. You could also infer that the dead person was most likely African American and the noose meant that he was lynched.

There is a need for prior knowledge when it comes to sharecropping in the period after the civil war.

I think Alice Walker left it to be a little bit of a mystery, because she wanted us to either use our imagination or infer. She wanted us to try and figure out how he was killed and why. The way she wrote it, was leaving details of what the condition of the man was and what the girl did for a living and looked like. For example, she said the girls hand was dark, lived in sharecroppers cabin, said the mans teeth were cracked and his head was next to him.

I think Alice left so much up to the reader to infer because she wanted the reader to piece these details together about why the man's body was in the woods. In paragraph seven she expects us to use her description of the man and use our personal knowledge to figure out the man's background. By stating the time and place we can use this information to make an inference

She left so much fro the reader to infer so that they can be engaged in the story. She wanted them to see what their life was like back then and use clues."Turning her back on the rusty boards of her family's sharecropper cabin" (walker 3

Walker did this because she wanted us to infer rather than simply read about the background. In paragraph one Myop's family lives in a sharecroppers cabin. This helps us infer that Myop is poor but she is still happy. We don't know why Myop did not react in a scared manner, but we can infer she was exposed to it before. We can also infer Myop laying down her flowers symbolized mourning and remembrance.

It sparks your imagination, so you learn to think harder in a confusing situation. Such as when it states that his head was beside him, I thought: did it decay off from where the rope was on his neck, or was he lynched? When there's less information, it makes you think harder, which is helpful in life.

I think she left so much up to the reader because she wanted people to think about the themes presented in the story, if she had blatantly stated all of the background information the reader wouldn't have thought about the story and many of the subtleties in the book wouldn't have been realized. She included some obvious details such as Myop living in a sharecropper's cabin, while that does give us a clue to her race, economic status, and views on life, it does give away too much, and it keeps the reader thinking.

She did that so you can use your imagination and use your inference skills. In the story it says "His head lay beside him." This quote means that his head was not on his body, but we don't know how that happened or when it happened. He could've been hanged or he could've been decapitated, but we use our inference skills and our imagination to figure out the missing puzzle pieces.

Alice Walker left out many details in the short story because she wants the reader to use their inferences and context clues to add to the story, by giving us few details of the setting that contribute to the mood and story significantly. For example the Sharecropper's house, which give the reader multiple ideas of how and when the death occurred due to the setting it was also given.

I think she did that because she wanted it to be up to our own interpretation.  She wanted it to be like something you had to search for and pay attention to truly understand. In the text she never straight up says he died. She kinda just gives you the clues and never the answer.
