Author's+Purpose+and+Point+of+View

The author who wrote this book wanted the reader to think that in some people who poses wisdom can believe that past the colour of your skin everyone is equal and the same.

1. Do you believe that for Timothy to have wisdom he had to be old? 2. Why have you made Philip's Dad such a fence sitter? 3. Would the story be as powerful if it were written in the modern day? 4. Why at the end of your story did Philip regain his sight? 5. Would you ever make another book that follows Philip's life?
