"How to Make a Slave" in second person

"How to Make a Slave" is told in second person. This affects the reading of the essay because it starts by saying " where your thirteen year old sister sits at the table thumbing through your schoolbook on black history" he doesn't use  "I, we". This affects it because it allows me to experience the story as if it were my own. For example, in the quote above it makes me have past connections when my nieces use to go over my notebooks and even after i didn't let them, they kept on doing it. It makes me reflect more on what i am reading and what is going on.
