When George & Richard browse the newspaper archive, George tears up because he realizes many of the stories in the newspaper are not true. Do newspapers tell the truth now?
George’s father tells him that “Everyman is born to die... so always do the right thing.” Is this good advice?
Though racial conditions are better in other places George travels to, he eventually always wants to go back home. What is the allure of home? Why would he want to go back when knew social conditions there were so unjust?
What gave George his stoic, if not positive, view of life? Why do you think he had such good health and such a good memory long into his life?
