Becky-Theme/Setting

The main theme from this story is the Golden Rule, treat others how you would like to be treated. This theme is evident from beginning to end of the story. This story takes place during one of the most controversial times in our country's history. In the 1920's there was a lot of tension and turmoil between whites and blacks. They just couldnt get along and interracial relationships were frowned upon. In many instances biracial people got the worst treatment. Becky's sons are shunned from the community and are not accepted by neither the blacks nor whites.
