How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I was glad nobody wanted to cut off my hands. Because Jesus made me white, I reckon they wouldn't. (2.2.29)
As young as five, Ruth May learned about white privilege. But, oops: the Prices quickly learn they're not immune. In the Congo, it's not the color of your skin, but where you are, that has consequences. Ruth May finds herself in the same place as a snake, and the consequence is death.
Quote #2
Mrs. Underdown tried to make friends with Mother by complaining about her houseboy. [...] "Honestly, Orleanna, he would steal everything except the children." (2.7.4)
The Underdowns live in luxury, have an excess of food and personal comforts, pay their servants very little … and still manage to complain about them. Must be nice.
Quote #3
"Your King Baudouin is living off the fat of this land [...] and leaving it up to penniless mission doctors and selfless men like my husband to take care of their every simple need. Is that how a father rules?" (2.7.44)
Try capitalizing "Father" and then asking the same question. Nathan Price's Father (a.k.a. God) is an absent ruler who takes all of the credit and none of the blame for events in the human world. Is that how God rules?
