"After you, me Dear Alphonse"

Author's Note: In class we read the short story "After you, me Dear Alphonse." We had a homework asignment which was. 

Home work:  Write an Analysis of how this story relates to the topic of naivete and reverse racism. How does it compare and contrast our society in Pewaukee areas of the country/world? What lesson do you think Shirley Jackson is trying to teach us? 

Mrs. Wilson is naivete because she just assumed that Boyd is poor and has no clothes doesn't eat a lot has to work. When she is asking boy'd these questions her son is like no hes like us to in different words that his mother doesn't understand. It has differences here in Pewaukee because everyone treats people the same. But in out world there are the similarities to the story because people just assume a lot of things that are wrong. I think that the lesson that Shirley Jackson is that don't just assume someone is this or that because your not always going to be right.
