The protagonist of the novel is a black American boy. He has to face color and racial discrimination right from his childhood.In the novel he describes how he was supposed to bow to the wishes of the family members, which he didn't, and how he struggled to come up in the society to establish himself as a writer. This journey of struggles and injustice is really heart touching.In this treatise you will find introduction to the author and the book, followed by characterization, plot summary, complete summary, and eventually the analysis of the novel.This is not the original text book, so I would request the students to read the original novel after reading this treatise.ThanksRaja Sharma
