Symbolism in Master Harold and the Boys

Because Hallys father is an alcoholic cripple, Sam takes it upon himself to be a pause role model in Hallys life, which is why the kite is a sign of Sams fatherly love for Hally and a lesson to Hally to not judge people that are different.The kite is a complete symbol of Sams love for Hally. As a little boy, Hally did not have someone he could look up to because he was ashamed of his fathers behavior. Sam took pity on him and decided to be a good example for Hally. Sam made the kite because he love Hally and he wanted Hally to have something that he could be proud of. When thinking back to that day, Hally said, I was so proud of us It was the most splendid thing I had ever seen. Now that Hally is grown, Sam lifelessness tries to be a good father figure but he failed to help Hally because Hally is still a rude, judgmental, and racist boy. Sam tries at one final attempt to save Hally when he says, Should we try again, Hally? strike down another kite, I suppose. It worked erst, a nd this time I need it as much as you do. Even though Hally became a terrible person, Sam never gave up on him because Hally was a son to him.The kite in like manner represents Sams lesson to Hally to not judge people, even though that lesson clearly did not pass with Hallys thick skull. Hallys first thoughts about Sam making a kite were, the twist audacity of it took my breath away. I mean, seriously, what the hell does a black man know about fleeting a kite? I had no hopes for it and Can you remember what the poor thing looked like? underworld no, that was now only asking for a miracle to happen. But despite its appearance, Hally said, I still cant believe my eyes the miracle happened when it proved itself by flying high in the wind. Obviously Sam failed once again to make Hally a decent human being, because Hally still proves to be judgmental and now in truth racist as a teenager.
