Outcasting in society

Author Norman Maclean said “it is those who know us and love us that elude us” often times in society this is the case. Family, people we look upon for advice and help when in need cast away. In Normal Maclean’s book “A River Runs Through It” the book is told through the eyes of Normal looking upon the actions of his brother, Paul, of whom is an outcast in society and his family. …

…become a huge success. Paul is a newspaper editor that flaunts the town with an Indian girl which is uncommon and very bold in the 1940’s. Of course this was before racial riots were heard of and the minority never had a say in anything because of the color of their skin. This causes the town to look upon Paul as an outcast, someone who’s different than they are so it must be “wrong.”
