Rabbit Was Too Sharp Sharp For Mr Stories

their humorous wisdom. Unlike many stories about
black culture, Harris stories were taken from
blacks that he had actually known. Moreover,
stories such as How Mr. Rabbit was too sharp for
Mr. Fox were told first hand through a black
character, Uncle Remus. This way of writing made
more of an impression on readers than a story
wrote about blacks. This way, all people could
