Samuel was a rational person and often did not think before he reacted which led to the Boston tea party. He was a radical person and did not make his decision meaningful. He was a very relaxed individual when it came to handling his own business affairs. He was one that had a problem coping with frustration that essentially led him to become a poor problem solver. Thomas Hutchinson and Samuel Adams were alike in many ways, although they were enemies, both fought for the rights of the people in their mind.
The story never frankly states anything about him; rather, the reader must break the story down to truly understand this character. Oscar’s character exposition is revealed by what the narrator says. What the narrator says in this story is what the young boy thinks. This type of exposition brings out his true personality by knowing his every honest thought and desire. During the part of the story that Yolanda is at Oscar’s house because he was sick the narrator says, “She was prettier than any of them, but I never told her that, because I got embarrassed when I thought about saying it.” (Casares, 199) This quotation shows that without the inside thoughts of Oscar, the reader would not fully understand how Oscar felt towards Yolanda.
As a little boy, he did not know much about his ancestry, but he heard other the coloured people say, “ my ancestors on my mother’s side, suffered in the middle passage of the slave ship while being conveyed from Africa to America” (Washington 1344).

In Danticat’s story titled “A Wall of Fire Rising”, she brings us into the life of a Haitian family and how they were affected, both physically and emotionally, by the conditions of poverty. The family consisted of a father, named Guy, his wife, named Lillie, and their young school aged boy, named Little Guy. The story takes place in a small village in Haiti. My vision of this place is that it was not known for wealth but rather a place where the poor had been placed to settle. There was a lack of resources to find work, therefore making it a daily battle to be an adequate provider for the family.
Contrary to popular belief, slavery still exists today. Many people are being forced to work for little or no money, in terrible conditions, and are bonded by either restricts or weapons to their masters. Many of these slaves can be found as concubines in Sudan, “carpet slaves” in India, or “cane-cutters” in Haiti. Anti-Slavery International estimates there to be about 20 million people currently living in slavery. Although the slave trade was banned in Africa in the early 1800s, there is still an estimated 200,000 children from West and Central Africa sold into slavery each year.
