Goodbye, Columbus Chapter 3

Parallel: At the beginning of the book, Brenda has asked Neil if he and his sister were black. Now in chapter 3, Neil says that the little in at the library has a "southern negro dialect". I feel like in each chapter, there is a question or description that involves race and I think that is interesting that it is very present in each chapter. 

Contrast: I thought that there was an interesting contrast between Neil and Julie when he is playing ping pong with her compared to when he was playing basketball. When Neil and Julie were playing basketball, the whole family was watching and Neil let Julie win. Now that the family is out of the house and he and Julie are alone, he plays ping pong with her and doesnt let her win. I thought that was interesting on how he behaves around Julie when people are and arent present.
