My Mother and Mercy

In the passage, the author was treated differently because she took her father's side characteristic. She had dark skin, curly hair, and black eyes. Her grandmother always complain about why her white daughter will married a black man when the author is young. Her grandmother will treat the author differently because she is a black and dark skin girl, however through the passage, we can see that her grandmother still loved her as a grand-daughter. Because she would cut her hair for her and comb her hair and make her look more beautiful.
