page 60. 2nd last passage.

Although the kid from the “The Power of One” promised himself that he would not cry throughout the book, the Judge and his fellows were evil enough to mess up with him and his Grandpa Chook to make him cry. Pisskop was strongly determined not to cry but sadly, it brought in more enemies. I am interested in how the racism also takes place in between young kids and how intense the bullying is. His use of interesting language makes the book more realistic such as ‘Pisskop’ and other vocabularies that we never heard of before. As I was doing my research on the author of this book, Bryce Courtenay, I found out that he was born in South Africa, and I am roughly guessing that this is the reason and the reference for his realistic language use. I strongly believe that the main character of this book is the them itself. For one reason, I have never ( Although I have) seen any book like this where the main character constantly changes and evolves throughout the plot so fast. To be honest, I encountered a lot of books that involved characters who change a lot through the plot such as “The Alchemist”, but in this case since the main character is newly exposed to a totally different world, Peekay is continuously learning how to survive in a new environment.
