“Tetiyette and the devil” was a short story recorded by Ina Cesaire and Joelle Laurent. The short tale explained “don’t judge a book by its cover” a saying stating that you shouldn’t prejudge the worth or value of something based on its outward appearance that you assumed was not up to your standards. Whoever reads this book it will well approach to people that are young adults because it shows that you can marry the wrong person and be guilty of your actions when not listening to your parents when they knew it was the wrong choice. In some experiences you could be right but in the book the mother knew that this man that Tetiyette was going to marry was the devil disguised as a handsome young man. She gave Tetiyette a pin and a Handkerchief. A pin for her to stick her husband at night when they fall asleep, and a handkerchief to use for proof of blood to be human. The handsome young man was the devil as slime oozes out of him. Her approach to her mom was a lie and she stuck herself to show her blood instead. So, as I notice you can be a fake with the best looks on earth. This short story shows the reader that not all characteristics matter. A goat and a pig were her first two options as she refused give them a chance. She chooses the devil instead and begin to be eaten later in the story upon her decision.
The author portrayed a very good image in my head as a read the story giving me the tools I would need to tell when you need to know what’s the purpose, message, and audience of a story. The statement in Tetiyette and the devil claims “If blood flows, he’s a human being, but if slime oozes out, he’s a devil.” Explained to me that you can be the best-looking human being and still not be for anybody/everybody.
