Statement on The Colored Museum

Throughout this semester we have read a total of three different books. In certain ways each book is similar to one another due to the fact that it is all African American based. Personally my favorite book that I enjoyed was "The Colored Museum". The first reason being is because it is a play, I enjoyed the way the context was written, the format was in a play form. Not only did I think that was easier to read but in a way it deals with my major and hobby. I enjoy acting and this format of text written is something I am very familiar with. I loved the fact that there were also videos to each scene because it gave me a better understanding of  how the characters were saying what they were trying to say and the way they expressed the words written in the book were perfect for me and my style of reading and learning things which made it so much easier for me.
The whole book in total was my favorite as well because it had a variety of different exhibits which made it easier to follow, because it wasn't hard to wonder about a story in total but to focus on each exhibit and they were all different. It also was a better understanding in the African American culture than the previous books, because I felt that certain exhibits were really deep and entertaining which caught my attention and kept it.
All in all this is definitley a book I really enjoyed and will tell people about it, maybe not to read the book, but to definitrley look into the play.
