In both pieces, the main characters are both forced to accept racism, discrimination, and prejudice even if their individual morals hate these practices. In their minds, they criticize those who have power. Orwell had to obey authorities. Gideon and Teddy had to cope with the arguments of their elders. People act upon an agreed value because of pressure and reputation. Imperialism is shown when people think staying in power or with those that have power is way to survival.

In the text, we see that the protagonists in both stories are obliged to accept racism, discrimination, and prejudice against their personal moral objections.

What do they do to those who have power in their societies?

The protagonists criticize individuals in positions of power in their heads. Orwell had to follow the rules while on the other hand, Gideon and Teddy had to deal with their elders' disagreements.

Because of peer pressure and reputation, people behave on an agreed-upon value. Imperialism is demonstrated when people believe that staying in power or associating with those in authority is the only way to survive.
