“Cold? the man with the shotgun asked speaking with sarcasm”. This quote shows how bad the black teacher was treated. He was a poor man who wanted to be paid, and that’s why he was kidnapped.
He was a scared silent man. He was insulted, threatened and treated as if he had no rights. “He is dumb also”, this shows he was not treated well, because he was insulted with no reason, probably because he was black, and in different living conditions than them. The white men went to his house in the middle of the night while he was sleeping in pijamas, without letting him put some warm clothes on, they took him to a cold place, so he was shivering.
They kidnapped him for a reason, he went to the church to ask for a payment to the school principal and the church minister but the white men thought that the black man didn’t deserve to be paid. The black man was a kind man, a proud person and a hard worker man who fought for his rights and who thought that the white men were racist. That’s why he should be paid.
“He was cold and tried to prevent himself from shivering in case it should be mistaken for cowardice”. This is the quote that best represented this character because it says what he was feeling, and it shows he was a proud man because he was trying not to look like a coward. For us if this character was an animal, he would be a bat, because it is different to the other birds and everyone is scared of it, it is not treated well and it’s black.
