The story "A Rude Awakening " is told by a boy of 9years who sees that the world is falling apart because he hears every day in the news about the Vietnam war or about a black man who has done something criminal. So it's not so hard to understand why him and his friend Kevin get scared then find out that they are inside a "All Black " Cinema, they get scared as they have heard a lot of rumors about how white people have been knocked down by the black , things that they have probably heard from their parents or the news, I'll almost go so long to call it brainwashing as the kids themselves have not had any chances to get to know the colored ones. However, in 1968 it was very normal (in the south) that the Whites were seregated from the colored ones, when they were thought to be filthy and violent at the time. So after the protagonist discovers that they are a cinema with only colored people, he thinks of how to get out when he is scared really scared, but just as he is going to go, the blacks are frightened by the film, and he discovers that they are quite normal like himself , so they too can be scared of a movie and then laugh at it. It makes him and Kevin come to the cinema every Sunday, until the day when Martin Luther King dies, because Sunday takes the protagonist alone off when Kevin is scared. But this time, the blacks are not afraid of the film, as they are more afraid of reality, the protagonist finds out that there is nothing wrong with the blacks but with whites like himself, so he leaves the cinema.
