“I know you all know this story, but there were some inspirations that you may not have picked up on at first.” The teacher further explained this mysterious book (to me) in front of the class. “What do you know about Sylvester Wheeler besides him being from here?”
Some average looking teenage boy wearing a plain blue t-shirt raised his hand.
“Yes, Jonathan?”
“Wasn’t he the same guy who also saw inequality in housing situations here?” He asked.
“That’s right. It was a small inspiration, but there were some heavier materials there.”
Hmm. At least he’s paying attention despite doubting himself so much. That Jonathan person is no threat to me.
