"After You, My Dear Alphonse Analysis"

Write an analysis of how (After you my dear Alphonse) relates to the topics of naivete and reverse racism. How does it compare and contrast our society in Pewaukee? Or Other areas of the country/world? What lesson do you think Shirley Jackson is trying to teach us?

I think the story relates to reverse racism because Mrs.Wilson was guessing that Boyd's dad works alot and needs to be really strong to work in a factory because she thinks his dad is a slave. Mrs.Wilson also thinks that Boyd doesn't eat alot because slaves didn't really get fed and she thinks that he's a slave so she tries to feed him everything another reverse racism was when Mrs.Wilson was giving him a care package of clothes home with him because she thought he wouldn't have any clothes neither would his mom or dad. This can compare to Pewaukee because other people from other places like Arrow Head might think were mean and we steal stuff because that's what they think of us but were really not like that.

I think Shirley Jackson is trying to teach us not to judge people by how they look or really how they acted because you always want to know them more before you start judging them. That's just like don't judge a book by it's cover when you look at it because you would want to read it to know more about it. I think another reason why she wrote this is because she wants us to see how it is to other people on how their judged or treated just like Boyd.
