It is very interesting that you chose to write about Mr. Brown because even though he was not in a large part of the book he played a very significant role. As discussed in class his name can be symbolic to his feelings and actions, he is neither black nor white. His ways to persuade people to join the church were compromising and thoughful, he showed interest to the people and their traditions as well as sharing his knowledge of his own traditions. I believe that the way Mr. Brown approached his "goal" is a good way, rather than using superiority or violence he used his words to reach it.
