Form the three pages, you instantly get the impression that Isaac is going to play a large role in reconstructing Pete McLean's family after the death of his father, Jack. There is a lot of foreshadowing that shows how Isaac will become a sort of role model and friend for Jack which enthuses his yearning to find Isaac when he mysteriously disappears.

The 1960's was a very difficult time as the civil rights movement continued the ever mounting struggle to reach social and humane equality. However, readers are able to see through Pete's eyes the bewilderment that there is such a great societal emphasis that separates people. All that mattered to Pete was that Isaac was there when he needed him the most.

When Isaac goes missing....Pete does all he can to regain his friend.
