Prejudice behavior in, The Watsons Go To Birmingham- 1963
In the Watsons Go To Birmingham there is some prejudice behavior. One of them is on page# 88 in the 2nd paragraph when Momma is talking to Byron about his hair. So she says "Did those chemicals give you better-looking hair than me and your daddy and God gave you?". The judging in that sentence is how she said "did those chemicals give you better-looking hair" because she is judjing that Byron likes his hair, well we know that he does, but what if he does't. Another example of prejudice behavior is on page# 128 on the last sentence when momma said "Well, honey, I can't say it isn't, but an angel's an angel, what do you think?". The judjing in that sentence is how when she said "an angels an angel" because she's judging that an angel can't be black, but an angel can be any color, because the color of skin doesn't matter. That is some prejudice behavior in the book The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963.
