The narrative begins when Gregory is about seven years old, quite young to be experiencing such a painful lesson in racism. However, this teacher, which Gregory never mentions her name, dishes out her hatefulness with every opportunity. Gregory has a classmate, which he is quite fond of and tries to impress her at every opportunity he is given. The problem Gregory is up against is that he is poor. Gregory has one set of clothes which he washes every night. He shines shoes to make money, which he leaves on Helens porch instead of buying food. In return, Helen, the girl of Gregory’s dreams, rewards him as she walks by his house on the way to school with a wink and a smile. Gregory jumps through hoops to gain this girls attention and she is never unkind to him even though she is economically in a better situation than he is. However, when he goes to school he is made the center of attention by the teacher who labels him an idiot; she does this intentionally by placing him at the back of the room in a seat with a circle drawn around it in white chalk.

like to jump right into business, but rather need to be “buttered up.” This small talk eventually did lead into the topic of the product by way of a “lead-in.” Sometimes Nate will visit the customer, but won’t mention his own product. He will discuss some of the problems that doctors are seeing with patients. Nate will ask them how they recommend to fix the problem. Then Nate will leave without giving a usual spiel. Sometimes that makes the doctors scratch their heads. Nate will then return later and remind them of the previous conversation that they had. Nate will then transition into a presentation according to the conversation. Nate reads the same things that customers (doctors) are reading, such as medical journals. He will ask customers if they read the article in The Green Journal. He does this to show that he is interested in the same things as the customers, but more importantly show that he has credibility. This gains the trust of the customer, and shows that he knows what he is talking about. If he isn’t up to date, it is like “taking financial advice from a homeless person.”

This section is actually one of my favorite parts.
