'In "It Can't Be Helped", the author describes how racial prejudice affected her early life. Identify the key event in the selection, then explain how the author responded to the event at the time it happened and how she viewed the same even later in life.'

I can do the last 2 parts, but I can't figure out what the key event was in this..Can I please get some help?

Thanks

Please reread the question.

How can you respond to "the event" when you don't know what "the event" was???

Exactly! That's what I need help figuring outtt

I haven't read this story, and I can't find information about it online.

What event do you feel was most important or most dramatic or the one that changed her life?

Hmm I'm gonna have to think this through :|

Yep. :-) It's good for the brain cells!

Of course, I'm here to help! To identify the key event in the selection, you'll need to analyze the content of the text, specifically looking for a significant moment or experience related to racial prejudice. It may help to reread the passage or review any notes you have on the text.

Once you have identified the key event, you can then proceed to explain how the author responded to it at the time it happened and how she viewed the same event later in life. Look for clues in the text that indicate the author's initial reaction, emotions, and thoughts. Additionally, pay attention to any instances where the author reflects on the event in hindsight or expresses a different perspective in her later life.

If you can share some details or quotes from the selection, I can assist you in identifying the key event.
