Racism is basically a prejudice against another race, where you have prejudices against other people and decide whether you like them or not because of their skin color, religion or culture. Because of racism people are treated different all over the world.
The text “The New Girl” is a story, which is written by Marc Mitchell. It is about a new girl who moves to Prospect Street. The girl, who is black, seems to be sweet. Unfortunately, the girl Allison who also lives at Prospect Street will not accept the new girl, because she has a different skin color. The narrator and author, Marc Mitchell, is in a difficult situation. On one hand he wants to be friendly towards the new girl, but on the other hand, he is afraid to contradict Allison, who is ten years old which is two years older than him. The pressure from Alison decides his choice. Twenty years later, he still has a guilty conscience.
In the following, I will analyze and interpret “The New Girl” and then I will relate “The New Girl” to “Aline’s Journey”
The themes are not indicated in the title “The New Girl”. The themes are not shown directly, they are implied in conflicts between the characters such as when Allison says “Niggers are stupid” (Mitchell, page 23). This text has the main theme racism, yet there are themes as to be different and to be a misfit which is reflected in the text.
