Dear Alice Walker,

I just finished reading your story Beauty: When the Other Dancer Is the Self. It was influential

story for me. This story has many feelings because you was a little girl when you had the accident and you are the youngest girl between your brothers, you cannot do anything towards the accident and you was compelled to hide the truth and bear anaphylaxis.

This accident it is normally happened to many families, but the way of disability make the episode motivating and attract readers. I liked the when write about the long speech, when you said “I am six years old and have learned one of the longest Easter speeches to be heard that day.” this explain that you was confident of your self and you was not shy to raised your face to people, but after the accident you cannot raised your head and shy about your eye. In this line “If you tell, they say, we will get whipping. You do not want that happened, do you?” I think If you did not lie to your parent and tell the truth, you will have better life without thinking about what people will say if they saw your face and without thinking what will be your daughter reaction when she discovered that her mother’s eyes are different. However, sometimes human redeem for their family member and maybe you want to tell us that if you get hurt from person you loved you must redeem for him and accept it, but if you get hurt from your opponent you can fix the problem faster. The Doctor comments changed the story because he changed your mind about the accident. What the significance when your family moved to another place that far from the accident and turned you back again to your grandparents ? and what is the similarity between the desert, the beauty and the doctor’s words ? When your daughter tell you “Mommy: there is a world in your eye.” and “Mommy where did you get that world in your eye?” I do not know what this sentence mean in the reality, but I think that kids can make us happier because the criticize in kiddy style.

I liked this story because my uncle had an accident similar to it, but it was medical mistake. I strongly recommended it for my family and my best friends. I cannot wait to read more of your stories and I will be waiting for your new work. I really hope that you would respond and answer my questions and I hope the best for you.

Sincerely,

Abdulaziz Alhuwais
