Each text relates to the topic of racism and allows a better understanding for it. This topic is worth reading because it shines a light on this topic and allows you to sympathize. 
 My text set is based around the novel "Such A Fun Age". Protagonist Emira is racially profiled which plays part in the plot. This novel and other texts allows you to get a better understanding of racism and to empathize. 
 I recommend reading my text set in order. First you should read "Antiracist Baby" to set a tone for the set. Then you should read the novel and the review to get a main idea of the text set. Next you should read the article to get some information on racial profiling. Lastly you should read the poems to leave a powerful impact.  ]]> 2022-03-28 14:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aflores20244/zlcelo40a3twv6i5/wish/2117255955
