This passage is early on in the book, yet it remains integral, as it is a turning point for Zak Ebrahim. He realizes that all of the prejudices he had been brought up with were false and unfair. Deciding to judge someone on their character instead of their race, religion, or sexual orientation was a major decision, and as a result his outlook on the world changed.
