This shows that John never stood a chance in the society he was born into purely by the way he looks and by the actions of his mother. He is isolated by the others and is forbidden from taking part in any of the rituals that the other boys do. ‘’I ought to have been there.’ The young man went on. ‘Why wouldn’t they let me be the sacrifice?’’. John is also just as isolated in the new state.
Race and Diversity 31 October 2011 Sidewalk While reading Mitchell Duneier’s novel, “Sidewalk,” I was struck with a whirlwind of different emotions from not only the words, but from the photographs as well. Although they were just simple pictures of every day life for these people, they spoke a thousand words. The photograph that truly struck me the most however, was the one on page 53.

Gault’s mom came home that day from work and could not find her son anywhere.
The American Experience of an Indentured Servant Richard Frethorne’s letters to his parents in 1623 presents us with an abrupt image of what life as an indentured servant was like in the New World near the Virginia colonization. Frethorne’s letters are filled with vivid descriptions of his discomfort and hardships.

Frethorne’s time as a servant was so brutal that he believed he would have been better off living life as a crippled beggar in his hometown of England rather than being a servant in the New World (Lauter 289).

At sixteen, he dropped out of high school and at that time, he already had an drinking problem.

That clothes was wore for more than years; he didn’t change and nothing changed, except that it became more untidy and utterly worn out. He has a messy, scruffy black hair that was tied by years. In addition, his hair was never groomed for a long time and it looks like hair of corns that in tuck. Everything on him was never cleaned until now; he is considered a filthy man. Additionally, this man is lean
