Same Kind of Different As Me is really deep book. I didn't think that friendship could come from people from 2 backrounds that are on the opposite end of the social spectrum. Ron and Denver have finally met and are getting along well. This true story isn't about the plot though, it's about the deeper meaning of friendship.
Ron and Denver becoming friends just shows that anybody can be friends with anybody. For an international art dealer to not just meet but to become friends with a man who has worked in fields for his whole life just shows that friendship is very valuable, especially at a time when white and black people were socially equal. Same Kind of Different As Me really is an amazing story.
This sounds a very interesting book. It sounds like the bonds of friendship can overcome any barrier or obstacle, no matter how imposing.
