 Due to the harsh treatment of other children the young boy questions his identity.The boy looks at his own reflection several times throughout the film.He does not just stare at  himself but he looks at his features closely which makes me realize how unsure he feels with himself.The boy feels as if he does not belong because of his skin color.Not only that but there are assumptions being made that he has AIDS.This is made from the children own beliefs towards African Americans possibly heard from their parents of classmates.This made everyone believe this stereotype was true which caused everyone to follow along and treat the young boy unfairly.the children would constantly throw out rude words and look at him differently.This made him feel like he did not belong because it seemed like a never ending cycle of harsh comments an d being looked at differently.
