In 1963,there was lots of discrimination and segregation throughout the different states.People treated other people poorly.By poorly i mean handicaps,social classes,and races.The 1960’s were a historical decade for the United States Of America
To begin with,in the book “The Watson’s Go To Birmingham” people often treat handicap people poorly.An example of this is on page 27,”I still had to watch when they made their eyes go crossed when they were teasing me.”One of the main characters in the book is named Kenny,which has a lazy eye.Kids in his school called him “cockeye kenny”.They basically bully him becasue of his eye.Larry Dunn which is the “bully” in the story,makes fun of Kenny’s eye everyday.In the real world,lots of people think handicap people are “different”and “weird” just because of their issues and their health.Some people don’t even want to get close to them because they think they are “contageous”.In my opinion,they are perfect the way they are and they are the same as us no matter their healty or sickness.
To continue,another discrimination people would face is due to their social class.In the story,Byron which is Kenny’s brother is the “god” of the school.So he is like the high class person in this story.Larry Dunn is the “king” from 4th-kindergarten.He is like the middle class
