Our class will do something related to Maya Angelou's "I know why the caged bird sings"
in winter session. I take so much time to read books in English and even if I have read the book,
it is hard for me to catch up my friends... So I decided to read it properly
beforehands.
I opened the book and the first paragraph is below:
'
"What you looking at me for? I didn't come to stay."
I hadn't so much forgot as I couldn't bring myself to remember. Other things were more important.
"What you looking at me for? I didn't come to stay."
Whether I could remember the rest of the poem or not was immaterial.
The truth of the sentence was like a wadded-up hankerchief, sopping wet in my fists, and the sooner
they accepted it the quicker they could let my hands open and the air would cool my palms. '
I was so surprised that I've got no idea what this short paragraph means....
I love reading, but when I read English books I just go blank.
What pops into your head when you read the above paragraph?
That is the very first paragraph in the book. Page 1.
Is 'What you looking at me for?' even grammatically correct?
