The theme I felt best fit this this book is, "Fighting racism." I say this because constantly through the text, Cassie and family are upset and are fighting against racism. An act Little Man does to show this theme is, "Little Man bit his lower lip, and I knew that he was not going to pick up the book. Rapidly, I turned to the inside cover of my own book and saw immediately what had made Little Man so furious." This quote shows how these two characters felt about getting poor conditioned books from the whites, only because of their race.
Another theme I felt best fit this book is, "Never give up on your opinion." I say this because throughout the text the Logan's are showing their hatred towards the way they are being treated because of their race. This relates to the last theme because the Logan's opinion is to fight racism. A way this theme is used in real life is like in court, because the lawyer is given a opinion and has to fight for that opinion. I also feel this theme is just the common thing to do because you should never give up on your opinion unless your opinion hurts others.
My third and final best fit theme for this book is, "Everyone should be treated equal, no matter what race they are." I say this because I feel the author correlates negativity and racism to show that racism is horrible. One of the best parts of this theme is that this theme is still relevant to today because some people are racist. Which being racist is extremely wrong. People also have this theme in their faith. For example, Christianity say all people shall be treated equally. And even the government expresses this theme!
