    By uncovering his mother’s past, James was able to build an even deeper relationship with her. While reading this book, it was hard to compare it to anything else because of its originality. A story about an old, white lady taking care of twelve black children; there is almost nothing like that! Although the concept of digging into someone’s past and in doing so gaining a deep respect for them comes close to the movie Hugo. Hugo is about an orphan boy who lives in the walls of a Paris railway station. As…

    On page 22, it says, “We were all clearly black… Mommy was, by her own definition,”light-skinned”.” This analysis shows that James figured out that his mother didn’t look like him or any of his siblings. He was dark-skinned with curly brown hair which his mother didn’t have. This confused James on who he was and what his real culture was. Also, James’ race and the skin of his mother confused him on what he is.

Thus, the story keeps the audience’s attention by skipping back and forth in time, from James’s life to that of his mother. Although many time changes occur in the novel, they are easy to keep up…
