I also wonder why and how Brian and Gale are best friends, especially when they are both 2 opposite characters in personality.

Despite the fact that he is such an apprehensive character, he can change from calm to fierce in a matter of time.

Despite the fact that he is such a humorist, he never differentiates people based on their skin color or looks, but rather on their personality. He is also an amazing and caring friend.

I can also infer that since Brian sang a song in the beginning of the story, that exact same song will be sung again at the end of the story. ]]> 2019-02-06 20:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sharanya_sharma/m9yerbvf1car/wish/328484118 Inference On February 5, 2019 sharanya_sharma https://padlet.com/sharanya_sharma/m9yerbvf1car/wish/328484918 What are the major implications of having Gale and Brian  board in the same room?

Racial Discrimination can factor   when deciding who receives a job, promotion, or other employment benefit.
A substantial difference in qualifications has almost always been upheld by the courts as a sure sign of racial discrimination.
Racial Discrimination causes many people to commit suicide, or end up with a serious injury.
Many companies in the 1960's avoided employing people who were not white, unless desperately needed.
Higher Thought Provoking Question:  What could have been some other possible outcomes of racial discrimination?
