Radio Show

1.) My Opinion Toward the story is good. I like it. It was real funny even though it was racist.
2.) The way the officer was speaking to Cleverland was as if he was accusing him of someting. The way the other Officer spoke to Noah was as if he was a victum.
3.) Noah Spoke to the Officer like he was clueless to what he was talkin about or even why they stopped them. He sounded like a child. The way Cleveland Spoke to the officer was like he didnt do anything. Like he was trying to prove he did nothing wrong and also embarressed and tried of always getting pulled over.
4.) There were Steryotypes in this story. Noah said that he was mad that Cleveland always gets taken away because he is black. He was tried he gets accused of being a rappist. Also when the officers noticed it was a black man with a White kid they decided to pull him over.
5.) The officers finally believe him when they call Noah's  mother and asked her if she knows where her son is and she explains that he is getting picked up by Cleveland.
6.)I think that Ms Edwards picked this story to compare To Kill a Mocking Bird to the stroy. In the book a black man is being accused of rapping a white lady. This might just be because he is black and hated on. It was worst back then though. She might have wanted to show that things are kind of the same as they were back then. Black people are expecting of doing things they really dont do and that they are still kind of discriminated on.
