I don't think the author had that in mind. I think his point is that after all he went through, he still got educated and came out better, a success. There are many people who went through less than he did, but they didn't make it. Some may have committed suicide. I'm just happy for Dr. Douglas. Indeed, there is no excuse for anyone to fail.KristyKhem wrote: ↑02 Jul 2019, 21:07 The author seems to value education very much!
He wrote about how empowered he felt when he learned his father was a lawyer. He once mentioned that Auntie Gertrude showed him off to her customers because he was a 'bright boy'. He also stated that he achieved A's in every subject, he was offered free lessons because he was a promising student, and he topped the country in his exams. He even won a scholarship. In one instance, he voiced his discontent at not being recognized for placing in the top three at the Special Assembly.
Do you think there was a big focus on education? And do you think did the author wanted to set himself apart from others in his life by focusing so much on his academic achievements?
