The fundamental factor, that determines the differences in the boy’s lives, is whether their parents constantly agree with one another or not. Warren's parents always act as one unit; “his parents [board] him at school”, “[t]hey blushed” or “the meagre acreage that bore them down”. In every case, they are seen as a singular force, which makes decisions together. On the other hand, the Professor's parents could not act more differently. The mother keeps her house in “immaculate order” while the father leaves his room in ”disruptive chaos”. They are polar opposites, the “mother [is] of the sea” and of the physical world, while the father “[is] of the ... book” and of knowledge and learning. The biggest difference is that of the parents’ tolerance. The mother does not accept her daughters’ husbands as they “[are] not of her people”, while the father allows his children to chose their own paths in life. The father “never [tells his children] to do anything,... only [asks]”. It is this differences of opinions that allows the Professor to follow his dreams. Since Warren's parents always

People often think of family as positive, loving, and with no flaws. However, there is almost a stereotype that all families love each other and there aren’t problems or challenges in a family. Sometimes families put people through challenges and some families aren’t “perfect”. In the book Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolff, Jolly has two kids and goes through challenges with her family. Most careful readers can see how Jolly has these challenges with her kids and how she is far off from the “perfect” family. She goes through many of these challenges in life and finds a way to overcome them. Jollys family shapes her identity because the challenges she faces ends up making her stronger. Jeremy and Jilly challenging her, LaVaughn helping her out, and her past family all shape her identity.

4. Michele’s relationship with his mother is quite different to the one he has with his father. Rather than trying to impress his mother like he does with his father, he just tries to please her and make her happy rather than seeing her upset and angry.

Throughout the book, one way that the main characters are revealed is through some of the people that Tom and Sharon meet and interact with on their journey. In search of their past, they rely on the information from a few different people. At one of Tom and Sharon’s stops at a cemetery, they meet a man who is working at the desk at the information center. Tom notices the man’s nametag and realizes that the last name on it is familiar to him; Tom discovers that it is a last name of someone intermarried in his family. The man ends up being a really good source of information for Tom and his genealogical research. This is one of the first instances where Sharon reveals her frustration with how easy is for Tom to find genealogical information because he is white. Since Sharon’s ancestors were slaves, such records were not kept for slaves. Morgan (2012) elaborates her feelings on this topic
