Remake of Recitatif Discussion Question 1 by Sarah Land https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf Made with a dash of wit en-us 2021-05-14 13:11:00 UTC 2021-05-14 13:59:57 UTC hello@padlet.com Twyla is white because https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524584325 Roberta said this to her "You're the same little 
state kid who kicked a poor old black lady when she was down on the 
ground. " 

Roberta must be African American (black) because she indicated "poor old black lady" which can mean she is showing sympathy

This was because of the fact that Twyla seemed to be educated since she knew how to read, unlike Roberta. But when reading forward I now believe that Twyla is black and Roberta is white because one, Roberta got into a wealthy family, which usually happens to those that are white and Roberta seems to always defend herself when it comes to the talk about racism. ]]> 2021-05-14 13:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524585308 https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524588508 Roberta is black because she did not know how to read]]> 2021-05-14 13:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524588508 https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524588815 Roberta is black because was unable to read, which was typical for a black child in the United States because of the racism. 
Twyla was white because she was able to read and also had racist thoughts towards Roberta.]]> 2021-05-14 13:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524588815 Twyla is white because https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524600151 in the beginning of the story she discusses how her mother "would stop dancing long enough to tell me something important and one of those things she said was that they never wash their hair and they smelled funny." This can relate to the racist stereotypes associated within the black community. She also says "It was something else to be stuck in a strange place with a girl from a whole other race."]]> 2021-05-14 13:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524600151 https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524603639 Roberta: White - Didn't listen to the teacher. (Lazy) Left whole pieces of food on her plate. (Picky eater)
Twyla: Black - Couldn't remember what she read or what the teacher said. (Hardworking) Would eat anything and would finish off Roberta's food. (Will take any food she can get as if she doesn't know where her next meal will come from.)]]> 2021-05-14 13:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524603639 https://padlet.com/sarah_land/iqe7jvu8xeplpkpf/wish/1524607457 I believe Twyla is Black and Roberta is white because during easter at the shelter, Roberta's mom refused to shake her hand, likely because of racism/prejudice
