She was a non-conformist for resisting her dad’s prejudices and doing what she could to treat everyone equally and with kindness and respect. Ruth's adult life

In the Color of Water, Ruth Mcbride has an important significance, because her complex past is what propels the book. Without her, the book would not be nearly as interesting. James Mcbride, Ruth’s son and author of the book, portrays Ruth as a secretive, un maternal like, and spiritual woman.

I would assume the novel “The Color of Water” written by James McBride an autobiographical. He has a difficult legacy: he is Black, in a country where blacks struggle to be accepted as full citizens and born of a white mother.

Ruth would even put a king or queen in charge over their siblings. In this passage, Mcbride is describing how Ruth and her siblings hated being treated as slaves to their Tateh. This also relates to what James and his siblings go through. Some of the siblings such as Helen

The book The Color Of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother, was written in 1996 by James McBride. McBride who is an American writer and musician received his Masters in Journalism from Columbia University at the age of 22.

Exploring another person's life story for self-discovery is merely the initial step toward uncovering one's true self. In the novel The Color of Water, by James McBride, this theme of self-discovery and identity through understanding others' lives might be further explored through character interactions, dialogues, and revelations about their pasts. James' journeys of self-realization are impacted by the realization of who his mother was. “I felt like a Tinker toy kid building myself out of one of

James McBride’s memoir The Color of Water, compares two troubled, young lives in which they are victims of racial prejudices and alienation.

“I’m sick of this house” (75) exclaims 15 year old, revolutionary-minded Helen McBride. Living in a house with 11 other children was not the lifestyle she had in mind. Having her own beliefs suppressed by her mother was not what she wanted in life. Helen, feeling crowded and controlled, leaves her home and does not look back. Helen is a young, revolutionary-minded person who feels contained by the walls of her own house. She attempts, at first, to escape in small ways. First, she suddenly quits
