Анализ текста Ragtime из учебника Аракина за 4 курс

The text under analysis is an extract from a novel Ragtime be E. L. Doctorow. The extract started with the description of Coalhouse Walker’s coming. The narrator began by describing the car and boy’s reaction when he saw it, but he didn’t introduce who was in the car. The only thing we happened to know was that he was a Negro. We can see the difference between the first sentences and last ones of the first paragraph. First sentences were simple ones, but when the narrator touches upon about driver’s race and his car we felt a little tension. These two short sentences showed that it was unusual to have shone car for Negro at the time, may be that society was not ready for wealthy Negroes. Such was the coming of the Negro and the aim of his coming was to see a woman named Sarah.
