Gypsy

In 1860, a little boy was born to a gypsy couple, Cornelius and Mary Smith. This birth was not unusual, nor was it noticed by the public at large. After all, many gypsies were looked upon as trouble makers and thieves. No one expected them to amount to anything. However, the Lord had different ideas for this baby boy.

He goes on to say that this is a problem because all GYPSYs think they are special, thus negating the very definition of the word.

Sherlock Holmes first suspects the gypsies. He does this because they were at the scene of the crime and during this time, gypsies were seen as strange, scary people. Gypsies were seen as different, and different was not viewed in a positive light. Different was strange and something to be cautioned.

This was shown in the book Milkweed, when Jews and Gypsies were ripped from their former homes and put into small ghetto towns. They received no food and people treated them like animals. Sick animals. Another example from the book is that the Nazis shot and killed Jews and Gypsies in the ghettos if they caught them stealing food, which forced them to resort to stealing…
