First of all,I would like to say that this story is very graphic.When the author describe some scenes in the story,I could actually pictures what is happening.However,some of the parts in the story was pretty disturbing,especially the part of the lynching of the black man.In the story,Jesse appear to be a racist white man that hate black people.However,when he remember his childhood,his father is the one that make him to be that way.It is because he take Jesse to see the lynching of the black man.Before he take Jesse there,he told him that he going to take him to a picnic.Jesse's father act like everything is normal,even though it not.When they got there,he took Jesse to sit on his shoulder.Jeese feel the bond between him and his father.When he look at his mother,she look the most beautiful in his eyes.Jesse feel that his parents approve of the way black people get treated.Since then,Jesse feel that the black people deserve to be treated badly.When Jeese grow to be an adult,he treat black women badly by went around and go raping them.Even though, he have a job as a sheriff,he surely don't perform the job that he is suppose to do,which is to protect people,not hurting them.
