From the beginning it is very much noticeable that Dave is an outsider and feels the pressure all on him while attending an all Black and Latino school, as one of the 3 only white boys in school. Making friends is hard for him and so is feeling the “force”. Its an interesting concept to think about and the author kind of raises the question in my mind as to how the force lives in each of us. The narrator says in chapter two, “I blame the force for what it didnt to him.” In my interpretation the force is discrimination towards another group he said he felt it and was able to feel it in himself so its hinting that he blames the force for people making comments about his race and judging him. Its as though it served as a marker for all that has been done and it is to blame, the force.
