After reading many stories in "Growing Up Black" I would have to say that I enjoyed Elizabeth Adams, Dark Symphony. In the story Elizabeth is called the N word and after learning what the word meant, she was kind of confused and it impacted he life majorly. I think for Elizabeth being so young when this happened it was harder for her to understand exactly what was going on around her.I have to say that after someone says something so derogatory as this word, it makes it hard for a person to not get back at them. Even though I do no think that fighting is the answer.I think that the lesson about not striking back that Elizabeth's mother told her was a good one. I can say that I have been in a situation similar to this one and my mother told me the same thing.
