Reading Reflection Barbara Morales ENG125 – Introduction to Literature Professor Sarah Ross December 5‚ 2011 What peaked my interest in this story is the title “The Welcome Table”. In essence it should be titled “The Unwelcome Table” because of its profound examples of racism‚ poverty‚ and unfair judgment and treatment; in short‚ man’s inhumanity to man. This short story is a prime example of hypocrisy‚ intolerance‚ and unchristian like behavior while in God’s house. An old‚ black woman
