A Brief Summary Of Rudy

Satisfactory Essays

This chapter starts one night when the village is asleep. At this point in time, Jesse Owens is famous around the world...except in Germany. Rudy is young and doesn't know much about what it means to be anything other than German in Germany. Rudy is a HUGE fan of Jesse Owens, so he takes a few pieces of charcoal and colors himself. He goes out to Hubert Oval and sprints across the track, but at the end, someone is waiting for him. His father. Rudy gets a lecture about how he is safe the way he is - blonde hair, blue eyes - and that he should value that because of how quickly Germany is changing. Overall, I think Rudy's father's reaction was great because he didn't blow up or yell, he was kind, and now Rudy knows a lesson he must never forget
