Reading blog assignment

Who would the book appeal to? I think it would appeal to high school or college students that are intersted in African-American culture in the mid 1900's.
What about it is appealing? i like how she thinks that white people arent people for simply the fact that her neighborhood calls them "white people" and not simply just people like her neighbors.
What obstacles should student readers of this book be ready for? that it is hard to get into, the beginning kind of starts off not that interesting but it starts to get good after a bit.
What would students need to know about in order to understand the book? Some of the talking is in a bit of a slang and if you can understand that then you should be pretty much good.
What issues does the book deal with that students might be interested in discussing? the views on white people from a black persons point of view in the mid 1900's.
Is there any “mature” content in the book? If so, what kind of content? How would you deal with such content in class? yes, they get on the subject of sex a couple times and where babies come from, and in the beginning the main character urinates herself.
