After You My Dear Alphonse

Mrs. Wilson made assumptions that Boyd is poor and has little to no clothes. She offers him things that make reverse racism obvious. Some of the things she offers are a lot of food, clothes, and questions about Boyd's family's work situation. When she is asking Boyd these questions her son defends and says no he's like us too, but his mother doesn't understand. It's different compared to Pewaukee because everyone treats people equally. Although in the world as a whole, many people are disrespected through reverse racism. I think that the lesson that Shirley Jackson is trying to get through is that people cannot just assume someone is one thing or another because those assumptions may not always be right.
