Week 6 Assignment 2

Yes, this will be a repeat of what people have already posted. I thought it was thorough and well put together; however, I hated having to constantly scroll in and out of the page to be able to read everything. I also would have preferred to have a physical paper version for easier reference.

If there was one portion I did not like, it was the Christian Urban Fiction. Urban Fiction has received a bad rap because of horrible grammar, everyone from the four year old to the great, great grandmother dropping the F bomb, lack of punctuation, and repeated story lines. Yes, I will admit that some of this is true. (I have read A LOT of Urban Fiction. So much in fact, some of the stories start to fuse together because they are so similar.) But I have never heard of Christian Urban Fiction. I have never combined those two genres into one. I guess it isn't necessarily a BAD thing, but I have had customers complain when Christian Book by African American authors were put on Urban Fiction displays. It is the misconception that Black/African American author equals Urban Book. Give me strength and allow me to teach the people!!!
