3/4

3 Important things that I've learned from the Big Read Radio Show is:

1. She wanted to let other people know what it was like to be an African American Women at the time. From the language to the culture. They spoke slang which sounds the way it is written. 

2. She wanted to take a story from an older black women writer and put it in the perspective of a 16 year old girl writing it.

3. The Radio Show mentions that the author grew up in a very black town. They made it very clear that Eatonville wasn't just a "black backside of a white city" it was all a black city.
