Week 12 Diversity

I read the story, I Live with You. This story, which I’d qualify as horror, spoke about how people of diversity feel invisible. In this case, she was so invisible that she lived with someone and they hardly noticed. She would sit under the table and they wouldn’t see her. She would take their clothes but they just rolled with it. This was an interesting perspective because it is not loud explicit racism to not notice someone. But we take for granted in the majority having a voice that will be heard and respected. The fact that people are treated otherwise is ridiculous as the story shows. Even though she was basically invisible, the main character still had massive influence in the other character’s lives. If we ignore these legitimate people, we are missing great ideas, power, and influence. I liked how the author twisted this idea of being ignored on its head. Now the reader makes sure not to ignore anyone, unless they may have someone they’re ignoring up in their attic.
