The Outside View from a Texan.

Crooks was treated like trash or gum on the bottom of someones shoe, unwanted and mistreated. He was black so he "smelled" different so he was force to sleep outside in the horse barn. He was treated so bad he felt like he had to keep a shotgun on his floor for protection. He was so racisized against that he was forced to turn the racisism around and cause others to dislike him even more. Therefore the rasisism caused crook to be rasisized more harshly and be treated like dirt even more than before. I remember when I was a part of a 4-H group in Texas and I didn't go to school at the same school as everyone else did and it was hard to make friends and have a good time. I understand how crooks feels totally. I also have been left out of things because I was to slow or the fat or to tall or not tall enough. It is not fun to have your friends run off without you and be all alone so I understand how hurt crooks feels, and people treated me completely different and they knew I couldn't do thing so try just left me out. This experience really made me a stronger person and a better friend cause I know now how to treat my friends.
