After reading...

"Two Worlds Collide" by Matt Mulka.


Questions:
1. What different points of view do we see in this story? 

2. Explain the reasons behind the miscommunication that occurred between these two men.

Answers:

1. There's two incredible points of view; first we have the white man, a well-off person who thinks that he can treat black man the way he wants and without any caring of the feelings of this man, who of course is hurt but he cannot express the way he feels because he could lose his job because the white man has no consideration of his situation and the way the black man struggles to put food in his mouth, even thought he's conscious of the situation.
And by the other hand, we have the black man, a hard worker guy who has to follow the orders of the despicable white man because it's the only way he knows to make money, which is only enough for the food, but unfortunately he has to stick to that because it's the only way to look after his daughter.

                                         


2. Like Matt Mulka says, 'these men are separated by class, by education, by language, and by culture'. 
I think the white man is so locked in his contemporary and perfect world, that he does not bother to ask what needs black man could have and maybe do something to help him, instead of sitting there waiting for the moment when the black man do something really bad to fire him and finally "find his peace".
