While reading the passage titled Fremont High School by Jonathan Kozol‚ one can notice some similarities between Fremont High School and The Poisonwood Bible. First off‚ I see a resemblance between the characters in both of these writings. For example‚ the high schooler named Fortino can be compared to Nathan Price.
