"Revolt of Evil Fairies"

Discromination

                In Ted Poston's "Revolt of Evil Fairies" there is a protagonist that doesn't feel that being dark skinned isn't the way he wants to be. It would be a miracle to him if he got the main act or a good fairy. But he can't because of his color of his skin. Imagine that your in a play and your dark skinned. You would rather prefer the main act or the good fairy. In this case you can't! You have to be a dark fairy. How would you feel if you wouldn't have a voice?

                Ted Poston's "Revolt" has a theme of discrimination. The protagonist goes to a school in Hopkinsville, Kentucky named Booker T. Washington Colored Grammar School. They always do a play called Sleeping Beauty. My first example for discrimination: " Rat Jointer, for instance, rationalize that situation. Rat was not only black; he lived on Billy Goat Hill. But Rat summed it up like this: If you black, you black". This shows what the classmates of the protagonist sum the whole play. 

             In the making of Sleeping Beauty there is one particular teacher. Her name is Miss LaParade. In my second example it shows how she would sum up the play: "Miss LaParade called it a modern morality play of conflict between the forces of good and evil. And the forces of evil , of course, always came off second best." Here you can tell that the teachers make the decisions than the students. They think whats best for the audience and the yallers.

           All in all, the protagonist made a fight with Leonardius Wright but made it look like it was supposed to be in the script. The protagonist doesn't feel bad. Even though he was not going to be in the play next year, it was wroth it doing. Don't believe in people! Believe in yourself. This is the "Revolt of the Fairies" discrimination.
