Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde's story was very interesting, I really enjoyed reading it. She had two teachers, her kindergarten teacher and her first grade teacher. When Audre went into kindergarten, she already knew her letters and how to write her name and to read. She was taught by her mother, when Audre first said she wanted to know how to read. Her kindergarten teacher was called Miss. Teacher, she was not a very patient teacher. Audre had wrote her first and last name, to me you think the teacher would be proud, but no she wasn't. She looked down upon it, she said that Audre could not do as she was told. Her teacher was very angry and displeased with Audre, she would threaten to say how naughty and to tell her mother how she won't even try. When her mother came in to talk about what Audre had done wrong, her mother came to the conclusion that Audre should be in school, and that her kindergarten teacher was not capable of teaching her daughter, especially to teacher her to do what she is told. That is when she went into the first grade. Her first grade teacher was Sister Mary of Perpetual Help, or Sister MPH. She ruled her classroom with an iron first, she was very disciplinary, because she had sent a note home with Audre to tell her mother that she should not dress her in so many close so she can feel the pain of her beatings. She liked to segregate the children into two separate groups, which she called the fairies and the brownies. Of course the fairies were the good kids and the brownies were the bad kids, and Audre would always be in the brownies. Either because she broke her glasses, misbehaved and talked to much and because she could not learn her numbers. She didn't believe Audre when she actually did something right. She sent a note home saying that she needs a letter saying you are sorry for lying to the baby jesus. Only to get a letter saying that Audre did write her own sentence without help. Sister MPH was strict and a bit racist, Miss. Teacher was impatient, unwilling and not a very good teacher.
