Kindred by, Octavia Butler - Comments

Thank you very much. I fixed it. But I kept the end. It was my plan to have people disagree with me. That's what I'm good for anyway, having people disagree with me.

You would do well to proofread.

I thought this was a well put-together article. The explanation of the plot and the author's purpose behind writing it was very well-done. I also thought you really expressed some of the deeper meanings behind things in the story too, which I thought was great. (Though I did think that towards the end you it seemed as though moved on to something less solid - suggesting that there's a 'conspiracy' to keep African-Americans down in modern times.)

The thing I have to point out is that Urban Dictionary is possibly the worst source for anything (worse even than Wikipedia or Yahoo Answers XD) - especially for a term like Uncle Tom, where one could easily find a legitimate definition from reliable sources. Also, I thought that since you linked to further sources for the definition of “Uncle Tom”, you could have done the same for other terms like [i]Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, Grandfather Laws and Literacy Tests[/i], which people are a lot less likely to be familiar with (or know the details of).
