Quote #7
BLACK: Professor? I know you dont mean them words. Professor? I'm goin to be there in the morning. I'll be there. You hear? I'll be there in the mornin."(142)
Black still refuses to fully give up on White. Who knows if he will be able to be there in the morning? But since he needs to love his brother—which means White—he has to try. Even if the person he's trying to help doesn't want his help, he feels obliged to extend it.
