Changes

The most striking - the most thought-provoking aspect of the book for me was the insight into the treatment of black people in pre-WWII America. They could be subjected to casual cruelty with little hope of redress and Daniel is no stranger to violent attacks. Perhaps the most heart-breaking moment for me was actually a moment of kindness. The chief of police in a white area ''deliberately'' touches his hat to Daniel - and it's this casual mark of respect that ensures that the rest of the police force realise that Daniel is off-limits. Crowther does it very neatly - pulling out the essentials of what is happening without overdoing it. I'd like to thank the author for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
