Long Answer
1. At the beginning of the novel, Mr. Patterson is overprotective of his daughter. When she’s presented with an opportunity to integrate Central High School, he says, “This is no job for a girl” (Chapter 7). Then he takes a leap of faith and allows her to sign up, and as she grapples with the decision and the world changes around him, he learns that love means allowing his daughter to make her own choices and that there are limits to how much he can protect her. (Chapter 15)
2. Sometimes, like with Gary and Reggie, fire represents anger. Anger burns out of control, perhaps as a complicated fuel for change. On one hand, Reggie’s poorly aimed firebombs cause a great loss of property. On the other hand, the fire creates an opportunity for community members to cross racial lines to rebuild two neighborhood stores.
