Being Stereotyped


    In The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, there are a few stereotypes.  One of the main stereotypes is how all the southern whites are racist against the blacks.  This is proved wrong by the old man who tries to help them with where they’re going.  He gave Jane all the possibilities of what could happen and how long it will take them.  Even though Jane didn’t really use his information, he was still kind to give it to her.  Secondly, the Misses was kind to them because she gave them the offer to come back with all the other blacks to her plantation.  She fed them well and said she didn’t beat them at all.  These examples prove that not everyone believes what you think they portray.
