Black_Like_Me

Black Like Me The novel is about a writer named John Howard Griffin who decides to study how a black man lives in the late 1950’s. Mr. Griffin’s main purpose for writing this book was to show inconsiderate and immature white people were in the past. It also revealed how horrible black people were treated. (5) This novel is probably directed to young adults. It is directed to this audience due to the mature subject but also conveys the message of how wrong racism is. I also recommend this to adults also because I think that they could learn things from it also. (1) One theme from the novel is racism. It is not universally accepted because it is so immature and stupid. The author’s main reason for writing this story was to tell the story of racism. Another theme from the story is linked with racism but is not the same, is civil rights. This has been a huge topic during the last century and still exists now. He tries to tell the reader that this is important and should be important in ones life through the theme. The other theme is perseverance. The author expresses this by writing this book.
