An Outsider's View

       Crooks is treated differently because of his race. From his point of view, he thinks that because he is different, that no one will like him. In the 8th grade I was an outsider and was treated differently because no one could understand the way that I ould do things, like in my math class. I would always do problems the long way even if there was a shorter way to do them, because the long way was what I had learned first. I didn't care what people thought I just kept doing what I had always done and my teachers began to accept that what I learn first is what I remember what I would always do. I did not care that I was not popular, nor did I hate the kids that were in that group. I just accepted that I wasn't going to be popular and moved on., And from their perspective, they didn't care that I wasn't with them.
