Everything that rises...

I am most sympathetic with Julian and his mother. First I am most sympathetic with Julian because he has to deal with his mother. She is a close minded, racist. She grew up in a very different time and with a different mindset than Julian is. However that is why I am also sympathetic with his mother, because she is a victim of society and how she was raised. Her family used to own slaves and a huge plantation. Her background is a result of her ignorance and dislike for black people. Also, she goes on to have a stroke, which i would never wish upon anyone.
