In the beginning of this book, the author is writing a letter to his son. I could tell the author was a very smart man by the way he talked. You could tell he knew his stuff and was very passionate about helping his son grow up in a world designed to help white people. However, he did not sugar coat anything or try to make it seem to his son that it would all be okay. He got to the point, and told it like it was. He wanted to make sure his son knew that the world was unfair and would cater to him. I liked that about the author. It seems like a good quality for a father to have. He's trying to teach his son to be a man, and I think he's doing it the right way.
