Best part of story, including ending: I like it because it shows an interesting environment.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene was when Archy's wife had to confront the racist doctor. I liked it because it seemed very true to life.

Opinion about the main character: Archy was humorous and real, but he didn't treat his wife or son very well.
