Letter to Junot Diaz
Dear Junot Díaz:
I am impressed by your short story, " How to date a Brown girl (Black girl, White girl, or halfie,” because it is very interesting. I like how he expresses in the story makes me think like he gots a lot of experience in dating or he is an old man.
One set of lines that stands out for me is, “Hide the picture of yourself with an Afro. Make sure the bathroom is presentable. Since your toilet can’t flush toilet paper, put the bucket with all the crapped-on toilet paper under the sink. Spray the bucket with Lysol, then close the lid” I think these lines are witty because he is using clear examples of what to do and how to give a good impression when you are dating.
Another set of lines that stands out for me is, “You have choices. If the girl’s from around the way, take her to El Cibao for dinner. Order everything in your busted-up Spanish. Amaze her if she’s black, let her correct you if she’s Latina. If she’s not from around the way, Wendy’s will do” I think these lines are interesting because he refers to race. He knows how to impress a girl based on her race and also on his own skills.
