Hi BIG BAD WOLF is hopping ,I found your writing ad random. Hopefully this review will find you in good spirit.

On Title/Subject
The title and sub title are very intriguing, so I was drawn into reading this article on the perception of a man in a turban. It was about prejudice and hate and as you know it is very much a hot topic today, so many years later. I thought it is very good you wrote about this since it is a topic that is not going away. In my country it is hate and prejudice against Muslims in general, the women being very visible wearing their dark gowns and head kerchiefs on the streets.

General impressions
A very good but very short article on a very important subject. You probably could have written more on the subject, but you chose to limit it to that scene in your classroom in 2002.

Favorite Parts
In January 2002, my sixth grade teacher put a picture on the chalkboard. The picture was of a man with a long black beard, and a black turban on the top of his head, with a blue background. The guy looked like someone from the Middle East. The teacher said, “Look at him, and write down who you think he is.”

I think this is a very strong beginning since the reader immediately tries to answer the question herself. What would I have written, knowing that it was the time, only one year later than the horrific events of 9/11. But as you stated, also ten years later after the capture of Bin laden, and now in 2016 after those horrific events in Europe for the past two years what would have been the outcome. I think and am afraid nothing much has changed. There is a lot of hate and prejudice against Muslims in general just because a minority group amongst those choose to behave in a horrid fashion. It has repercussions on the whole Muslim community and that in itself is wrong. But times have changed and because these times grow more and more dangerous for ordinary people it is somewhat understandable that people are cautious. But that must never be a reason to exclude a whole group just because of their appearance.

Suggestions
I would love for you to flesh out this article some more and give it a thought on prejudice and hate towards minority groups. This is a topic that deserves more space.

Final thoughts
All in all a good attempt to start a discussion on hate and prejudice. It is about awareness. Thank you for sharing.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!
