Honky

I just finished reading the book. At first I did not like it at all; however the last chapter and the epilogue made me change my mind, I was almost to cry. I learned a lot from him. First, the attitude from Jerome encouraged me to think about my problems; sometime we make a big deal for things that we can change, probably we just need time. Nerveless, I did not like too much the fact Jerome was not longer in Dalton’s life. Second, it was interesting Dalton’s point of view about his own mistake. He realized that maybe were not race either his class it was him. I think that happened to all of us. Most of the time we are trying to blame something or someone else for our mistakes or actions. We also see the world in our way instead of seeing the world in the way it is. It is easy for us to blame others, for our own frustrations; in this case, he could not socialize. Sometimes he had a negative attitude about the way people treated him, not always. As a result, he tried to overcome his problem and he succeeded. Now he is a sociology professor in a recognized University, Yale. This does not mean he knows how to handle his life, he is still having lots of questions about the people’s behavior but at least he perceived that in another way. As a human being, sometimes he feels the freedom and other times he feels the frustration for which everybody goes trough.
