(This post wont make sense if you dont read the last one: http://thebananacrisis.blogspot.com/2015/04/how-it-went-down-by-kekla-magoon.html?m=1 )
Finally i have finished the book "
How it went down" by Kekla Magoon. In the last post, I mentioned how the author is describing characters using racial slurs and all that other stuff. This time, I learned that it makes sense to use that kind of language because people theorize that these people can be related to gang members or are actually in a gang and of course it can be any gang. This i find very stereotypical and kind of annoying nobody knows how "the gang language" works. Within the context however, these people aren't like that. Some people can forge words "like silver" while others dont sound articulate. Also in the text, it was said that Jack Franklin "mistaken" Tariq Johnson to be a gang member which I find utterly irritating. A few ways that this is irritating is the way his relatives and family members describe him as. They describe him as "non violent", "kind", really nothing that describes him as someone violent who gets into trouble. Another thing to mentoon was that Jack Franklin didnt really have the right to shoot Tariq Johnson after Tariq calling him a "cracker" as he was arguing with another padestrian. That is the reason why I find the situation irritating
