Adversity impacted the way people viewed Rashad completely. Suddenly people at school started talking about him. The lady who tripped over him viewed him differently: “‘I just wanted to say I’m sorry about everything that is happened, I mean that is happening.’ She blinked hard” (Reynolds 241). Maybe it’s out of putty but a lot of people are staring to view Rashad differently because of his adversity.

“You didn’t deserve this. Your not a criminal” (Reynolds 193). Rashads mom believes her son and is fighting for him even if at the beginning we weren’t sure.
