Laymon has just started going to college. He has more dedication to his academics now. In page 122, he stated that he spends nearly all day writing essays and not paying basketball with the other boys. It also stated that Laymon was accused of plagiarizing because of one word. The word was “Ambivalent” and it doesn’t really explain why they believed he plagiarized. On the next page it stated that black students were viewed as having less intellectual capability. My assumption was right, just because it is a big word, they assumed he copied the word or sentence. Another part of the story caught my eye. There are 2 neighborhoods. One being occupied by the ‘rich white liberals’ in the Millsaps neighborhood and the other one was a minority neighborhood with black people which is called the North End. The gates toward the black community was closed off while the gates were always open for the white community. Majority of the workers for the cafeteria or janitorial work were black men and women. This just goes to show that Laymon has witnessed segregation.
