In Nightjohn, there were many people who tried to run away from the plantations. One girl, Alicia i think it was, couldnt do anything. She wasn worthless in the fields and in the houses so she decided to run away. They went after her and found her and the white men let the dogs tear her apart, and she survived. She wouldnt die, no matter how much she wanted to. Nightjohn was a runaway and he got away the first time, but he went back to teach reading and writing because he felt that it was necessary for everyone to learn how to read and write. He taught the others at the other plantation he was at to read and write.
In Mascot, many white people are discriminating against the blacks. They treat them like they are worthless and like they have no rights as humans.
The Great Debators is very alike, but also very different from these stories. It's alike because they both have discrimination for blacks. Its different because they take part in totally different settings, places, and dates.
