The Silence of Our Friends shows racism between blacks and whites, and The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare, and How it Changed America explains how juvenile delinquency came after the World war two because of the comic book scare. They both occur during the same time era but have different settings. The Silence of Our Friends is a good story that also demonstrates how racism was back then. Racism itself is a significant topic in American History especially because it is still seen nowadays. The book helps understand how the life of a black or white was when they had to face discrimination everywhere they went. It helps comprehend how both races felt when they are hated by the other race. For example when Larry Thompson went to the store to buy the chicken necks and the white cashier did not want to sell it to him and Larry left the shop furiously and when his child ask him where the chicken necks were, Larry thoughtlessly hit him because he was so angry that the seller had discriminated him like that. The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare, and How it Changed America also contains a lot of meaningful information about how the comic books affected American lives. However the information would have been more interesting to learn if it was in a story format instead of reading the author 's opinion and interviews
