Morris from America
Morris from America presents a young teenager, Morris who finds himself deep into the realm of ethnicity. It is not typical for a young boy to thrive under the pressure of racial profiling. However, Morris emerges a string character throughout his encounter with people while schooling in Germany.
Encounter with the Tutor
Morris, through the encounter with his tutor, Inka, found the reason to overcome discrimination (Scott, 2). The tutor acted as a sister to Morris which was all Morris needed at such a time. Morris had tender care and love in a place where at the beginning it lacked. Therefore, Morris was able to quickly adapt to the school environment without feeling the pressure from fellow students who practiced racism. Morris found refuge from the tutor, who became practically a friend Morris had during the stay in the school.
Mentorship and Advice
Besides, the tutor acted as a quasi-therapist who offered constant advice to Morris. Most students including the counselor of the school thought that Morris was a drug dealer. It was practical because Morris had prowess sexual and basketball skills. Inka, therefore, supported Morris into taking other activities like raping in a talent show. She advises Morris not to succumb to these pressures from German racist and embrace the spirit of the father (Angelica, 1). Specifically because learning to live with the German racists requires sacrifice.
Challenges of Racism
In conclusion, Morris from America gives the extent to which racism is a challenge in the contemporary world. Students at the school display extreme racial practices since they seem to dislike Morris and even label him a drug dealer. Morris yields from the pressures of German racism, through moral support from majorly the tutor and the parent.
