Being different from other people, is never easy. When the color of your skin is what makes you different from other people at your age, it is especially aggravating. However, what defines being different? Is it the pigmentation of your skin, which makes a person different? Don’t we all stand out in some way? When you look across skin color, culture, socioeconomic status, there is one thing that we all have in common, and that is the fact, that we all have dreams. Fulfilling a dream certainly requires hard work and passion, but even that might not be enough. However, it is one place to start. In the short story “Dukwane’s Deliverance” by Neil Ramsorrun, 2010, the main character Dukwane dreams of becoming a politician: someone bigger than Barack Obama. Dukwane is black and lives in the London area where people in his environment have a racist way of thinking. Because of the opportunities and different career options education can provide, he is excited about his admission to the King’s College at Cambrigde University.
One night walking back from work, some young aggressors assault Dukwane, beating him badly. This results in Dukwane ending up in the hospital, with risk of not being able to walk again. This puts Dukwane in a dilemma: either he can keep trying to make his dream become a reality or he can choose to get revenge.
