passage

At the beginning of this passage one the black boys, Jackson yelled over at the white the men. This made one of the white men mad, and he walked over with a shovel and confronted the boys. Then Jackson threw his RC bottle at the man and hit him in the face. This shows that Jackson isn’t really afraid of the consequences that would happen from hitting a white man. After Jackson hit the first man with the bottle, the rest of the white men came and around circled around the boys. The boys showed again they were not scared because they stood there and didn’t try to run. If they were afraid for that they had done they would have ran because they knew that the other white men were going to come over by them.
While all of this was going on Lily was across the street watching through a window. The whole time she was worried for Zach and didn’t want anything to happen to him. This shows that Lily cares about and Zach and doesn’t want anything to happen to him. As the white men surrounded the black boys they asked who threw the bottle but no one spoke. Lily knew that being a snitch is one the worst thing that a person to do but she still wanted to Zach to tell on his friend. This again shows that Lily really doesn’t want anything to happen to Zach. She would rather him betray his friends so he could come back to the honey truck with her. Zach then looked over at Lily and gave her a little shrug. This was to tell her that there was nothing that he could really do and that he was sorry. This passage here tells that Zach also cared about Lily but knows there is no way that he could snitch on his friends. Zach wants to be able to go back over to Lily but knows that it is more important to be there and stand with his friends. Even though Lily wanted Zach to come back over to here, I feel she understood that that he was doing was more important to him and his friends.
