Question

You suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children. What is the author’s purpose for including this sentence?

Answer 1

The author's purpose is to give an example of a disadvantage or unfairness between being colored or being white and make the reader more sympathetic to the circumstance.
