When I was around nine or ten I wrote a play which was directed by a young, white schoolteacher, a woman who . . . decided to take me to see what she somewhat tactlessly referred to as “real” plays. Theater-going was forbidden in our house, but, with the really cruel intuitiveness of a child, I suspected that the color of this woman’s skin would carry the day for me. When, at school, she suggested taking me to the theater, I did not, as I might have done if she had been a Negro, find a way of discouraging her, but agreed that she should pick me up at my house one evening. I then, very cleverly, left all the rest to my mother, who suggested to my father, as I knew she would, that it would not be very nice to let such a kind woman make the trip for nothing.
—“Notes of a Native Son,” James Baldwin
What is the problem in this passage?
Baldwin’s father won’t agree to let him go to a play with a white schoolteacher.
Baldwin’s teacher offends Baldwin by suggesting his play isn’t a “real” play.
Please help me thanks
