1. What was the author's purpose in writing this story?
The author's purpose in writing this story was a mixture of expressing herself and informing the reader of her feelings towards the discrimination of race. She uses her personal life expierence to establish and prove her argument about the methodology behind the harsh society. I feel that she succeeded to express her beliefs and took a step towards changing the society and their beliefs.

*Gender: Well, recently signing up for car insurance was not such a good experience. Since i was a "girl" my insurance rate is higher then that of a "boy," reasoning being that apparently girls seem to get nervous very easily (Stereotype).
*Race & Religion: You might be shocked but in todays society after all that has happened in the past 8 years i never came across an incident where i was judged for my race or religion. I have just started to wear a head scraf not even a year ago, after doing so i found more people asking me about my religion and my culture. Thankfully i never came across any form of discrimination in such a way......

i am actually shocked about the car insurance issue you brought up. i never heard of this type of gender discrimination. i would think that women should have lower insurance beacuse they are very careful in driving.
I hate that also. It is so hard for females to apply for car insurance becaus the rate is extremely high
I too think it is unfair that girls have to pay more than guys when it comes to car insurance. There are plenty of female drivers out there that can drive better than males.
I agree because that's so wrong. Women should get the same amount of car insurance as guys. This is gender discrimination.
I always thought the insurance rate for women were lower for us and higher for men.
