The Kentucky cycle is a play by Donskey in the book back talk from Appalachia. He mentions in this chapter that the play is considered a drive by shooting. This means that the play will take a hit to the people that the play intended to portray. The chapter is titled that america needs hillbillies is that a significance? This chapter in the book goes and discusses the criticism that the play receives in contrary to the people of that region. Depicting the peoples that inhabit as “mean quiet and violent” Even calling them brutish and low down and dirty. The show pretty much attacks those of the basic stereotypes. This was important because for the first time it was attacking the region of the mountains it was attacking an average american area. Making fun of the people and they way they talk. Critics argued against the likeness of Appalachia and the Kentucky cycle. Saying that pop culture plays a huge role in how we portray these various regions. The sad fact of the matter is that these regions are still apart of america and are just like everyday Americans in other parts of the country.
