Whenever his dad got a yellow card from school informing about his absence, Sonny got punished; his dad would beat him as hard as he could. Sonny hated his dad so much that he wanted to kill that “evil mean man”. But, before he could do such a thing, he preferred to “cat out”, to escape from his dad for a few days. He slept in every comfortable place that he could find in the city and stayed there as long as he wanted to or until he got sent to the Children’s Center. When it came to winter, Sonny usually decided to stay home or stay in school to be warm.

Elie and his father had to lie about their age to even stay alive. “Here, Kid, how old are you?” “Eighteen” This helps keep him from being burned in the crematory. He was scared, felt lonely and wanted to do anything to stay alive.

So much so that as a child he runs away from a foster home and encounters a white police officer and does not know if the police officer is going to hurt him or not. All African Americans in the Jim Crow South are constantly living in fear just as Wright is. Wright has very few school years that he actually finishes due to the fact they constantly have to move around to stay safe and for Wright and his mother to find enough work to survive. Wright faces extreme racism at every job he works also.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (pg. 30) is one of the lessons learned.

People don’t see his true intelligence that was ruined by his cruel father; this makes Boo one of our most important mockingbirds. I see behavior like this everyday, as I walk down the high school halls, into the lunchroom, even just kids hanging out in town – there is always some one judging someone.
