with his life exactly what he wanted to." This thought of Ed's goes to
show how much he followed and depended on Lewis. Through this thought, it
seems as though the majority of the reason Ed ever did any camping or
outdoor activities was because he had Lewis to back him up. It also seemed

the outdoors, and Lewis' body build. Drew and Bobby also seemed to rely on
Lewis quite a bit, but not even as close to as much Ed did .....

ordinary place such as what you and I may live in. they always had

Many of the themes I found to be quite common. I quite often found them
to be about a boy and a girl and them getting together. There was also
usually some sort of a competition were the protagon .....

Breaking Down Racial Barriers

The thing that I found most enjoyable about this book, was the author’s own bravery. He risked his comfortable lifestyle and everything that he had to research something that he truly believed in. Here you have a white man who turns his skin black. He wanders around places he has never been, trying to figure out how to not stand out, how to “fit in”. He faces new problems and fears with each passing day. He gave insight into something tha .....

relationships. Darl's sophisticated perception and poetic linguistics give him
the means of reaching for and maintaining his role as a competent .....
