No matter your social status or powerful you feel you are, we are all equal. We all came here by birth and will leave by death. I used this quote due to racism being used throughout this book. This creates a sense of inequality and incorrect thoughts of people. I will explain how Phillip is racist, but turns over a new leaf after he gets stranded on an island with a black.
Phillip starts off racist. “I saw a huge negro sitting on the raft near me. He was ugly. His nose was flat and his face was broad; his head was a mass of wiry gray hair.” (Taylor 30) Calling him a negro was already bad enough, but Phillip had to add that he was ugly. That is so mean and rude to judge people by looks and skin color.
Phillip then turns a bit more dependent
