LITTLE BOY
One of the issues that are still present today is "racism".
Because some people don't get along very well because of their race like "Muslims" if they see one of their race they immediately hate him or something just because he look like one..... but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is like that that he puts other people in danger.
The item on the list that was difficult for him was to befriend the Japanese man. And the easiest one i cant really remember which one was it.
I think the most difficult for me would be to befriend somebody whose kind almost wiped out our race, but i would think that if he actually wasn't responsible for it well i would have to be understanding. And the easiest i think would be feed the hungry.
I think that sometimes people blame the other person for something that happened in their life because they think that he was the cause of that and they stay with that hate forever. Our prejudice falls into a conflict because sometimes when see a person we just see how they look and their aspect, example: If you see somebody walking down the street and he is dressed like a "gangsta" you rapidly assume he is in a gang or something but maybe he is actually a really nice person who loves to help people.
London actually changes because he sees that the Japanese is not a bad person and that he wasn't responsible for the war. He changes when his "so called friend" beat the poor Japanese.
The mustard seed symbolizes the little boy's faith
The list symbolizes that he will do anything to get his dad back
The boots symbolizes his happiness and how happy he is to get his dad back.
I think that another symbol could be the faith he puts in everything he wants to accomplish.
