Sunday

Honestly,  I was kind of surprised this was short. Cause it was an essay packet, I thought this was going to be a long written essay. But I'm going to get to the point. Sunday, was a well written account of a young African American applying for a job at a restaurant run by a white family. I like the fact that it's very relatable and realistic. The protagonist is clearly annoyed with the fact that the 'white people can't  cook.' often pointing out little flaws in their style of cooking while describing various techniques that his or her family used in cooking.

The essay makes surprisingly good use of flashback and detail in its short time. For example when the protagonist details how their grandfather would 'Stir the mint leaves with sugar...'. I thought that was a pretty good use of flashback. The ending is pretty funny too seeing as how they point out the fact that white people need black people because of our cooking prowess.
