Three Major Themes

1. The first major theme is racism. Miss 'OBrien does not believe that Steve Harmon is innocent. I think that's partly because Steve Harmon is black. At the end of the book when Steve Harmon wins the case. He tries to give Miss O'Brien a hug, but she turns around.. Miss' O'Brien still does not believe that he is innocent. 

2. The second major theme is stereotypes. I think that the people in the book accused Steve Harmon because he is black. And some people think that black people are the only type of people that steel. I also think that that is true because threw the whole book Steve Harmon was not asked questions in till the end. I think that's because he is black. And they wanted him to go to jail. 

3. The third theme is don't trust people in till you know them. Steve Harmon new Mr. King but never expected him to be a bad person. Mr. King was the one that involved Steve Harmon in the murder of Mr. Nesbitt, and Steve Harmon did not expect that. Steve Harmon also trusted Miss 'OBrien who turned out to not trust Steve Harmon.
