Darkness at Noon

       Harold Krents' purpose in writing Darkness At Noon, is to show that people would assume things that are completely false. By trying to explaining that if they are blind they are not deaf nor a mute. As an Asian teenager in high school, other students usually come up to me assuming that I am brainiac. Thats why I do agree with Krent's viewpoint, on how people  treat handicap as if they were as a child. Not everything you presume about a person isn't always true. As my friends in high school assume I was brainiac of math.
       I usually here this stereo type around high school, that Asians are good at math. Many of my peers always come to me, making an assumption that I am good at math. Thinking that I am mathwize just because, I dress a little dorky. But truthfully I am terrible at math. There this one time during algebra class, I had trouble understanding my math problems. So I ask the good friend that was sitting next to me if he could help me out with the problems. His answered was "pshh..smart ass". I was thinking to myself "really", did he assume that I was making fun of him. "I really did needed help with these math problems", I responded back kind-fully. Even though I really wanted to slap him silly. I don't even know where that stereotype came from. But it is ridiculous, how many people believe its true. This is just a little comparison to what Krent deal's with, on a day to day bases, living with a disability since day one.
