Ball State University (BSU) Summer Project 1965

Revisado: 09-25-16

Would you consider the audio edition of Black Like Me to be better than the print version?

Yes, I have been offering to my book club members and every person of color who I am associated with in my personal and professional life.It was a Summer Reading for freshman at BSU in Muncie Indiana. I went to an all white school in Indianapolis. I do not recall much racism up to that point. Mostly encounters with Blacks were with two of the High Schools in Indy that had integrated and at sport events.

What did you like best about this story?

The author's experiences within the Black community as a Black stranger in the community seemed to be the same as in any white community. There were friendly people who helped, and good and bad example of members of the community. The BIG difference was how he was treated by the White community as a Black person. It opened my eye back then to what it was like to be treated as inferior without cause.I did pledge a Fraternity there and the racism was clearly present even among the athletes. Those uncomfortable moments were in the form of jokes and references to people I did not know.

What about Ray Childs’s performance did you like?

Cared the story well and keep me involved.

If you could give Black Like Me a new subtitle, what would it be?

The book is 35+/- years old. Black and White people should look at the facts in 1959 and compare them to now. We are making progress. Keep working toward Dr. King's dream.

Any additional comments?

The strife in the US today is heart breaking and show the road is long. Each incident that bring us closer to a understanding of the basic fact "we are all humans" and we are where we are and who we are because of what we have done so far.
Let's all commit to some improvement of the situation.

Interesting insight into how a Woman thinks!

Revisado: 09-25-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, for men especially. It's not too long and mostly fun reading.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Amy take on men and which ones score point with her as a "not model" type. She hit it on the nose with her thoughts about why and what women want from sexual relations.My father's rule was " the women always comes first" in all things, including sex. Her emotional handling of the "gun issue" was not compelling. All Americans (with a Few exceptions) are move by the needless loss of life. The private sale of guns is an issue that needs to be addressed carefully and without the emotions attached to any single event. Today's 24/7 news cycle blurs the facts in order to sell 20+/- minutes of every hour. There are 330 million Americans (not including the illegals) every possible thing that can happen will happen, it's the law of big numbers.

What about Amy Schumer’s performance did you like?

She a funny presenter and her words were all hers!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she got to the heart of her Mother Daughter relationship it was refreshing. It showed she was a strong independent thinker today and how she was able to analysis her earlier situation with her Mother fix it yet not be bitter and vengeful.She seems to be a 1st class human. The kind anyone would be comfortable calling friend.

Any additional comments?

Good Job Amy! Follow your dreams and keep us laughing.

Would you consider the audio edition of Die Empty to be better than the print version?

Yes, It take too long to read a book. I have a paper back for reference when I need to look up something specific.
