問題詳情:
The teacher who did the most to encourage me was , as it happened , my aunt . She was Myrtle C . Manigault , the wife of my mother’s brother Bill . She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden , New Jersey . During my childhood and youth , Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential , without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females . I liked to sing ; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good . I couldn’t dance ; she taught me the basic dancing steps . She took me to the theatre—not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed .
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me . I had books at home , but they were all serious classics . Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor , and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her .
Most important , perhaps , Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication . A writer herself for one of the black newspapers , she suggested my name to the editor as a “ youth columnist ” . My column , begun when I was fourteen , was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material , the discipline of meeting deadlines , and , after graduation from college six years later , a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs .
Today Aunt Myrtle it still an enthusiastic supporter of her “ favorite niece ” . Like a diamond , she has reflected a bright , multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path .
