Morton and his family were at a park one afternoon when another kid threw sand at Larry Morton's' son. Morton was minding his business reading the paper at first just like the other boys' father. After the sand was thrown Morton got upset and tells Larry to quit playing their leaving. When the big man hears Morton getting mad and upset and saying that they're leaving he says it's a public park and the children have equal rights, acting as if what his son did to Larry was the right thing to do. The big man then said to Morton, "If you don't like it you can get the hell out” (page 2 paragraph 1). Morton did not continue the conversation with the big man. He was the bigger person and instead of starting a fight or something he and his family left. Morton shows a good example for Larry showing him that you should just walk away. Morton to me is the victim because he is in a fallacious argument with the bigger guy for trying to do the right thing. Morton tries to tell his offender what he believes in and tries to stand up for himself but still ends up being the victim because the offender is trying to prove that he’s right and Morton is wrong.
In this paper, there are two different types of victims shown. Also, there are two different views on how the characters became a victim. There is Connie who is being harassed and harmed by a guy. Then there is Morton who gets victimized by a bigger man and his child treating him like what he’s saying is
