Darkness at Noon


Harold Krents’ purpose is to show that everyone is equal. He explains that even when he was just a boy being blind never stopped him from doing something he wanted to do. Although being blind is a disability, it was never one to him. Being treated different and not being given jobs because of his blindness was unfair to him. I absolutely agree that Krent is no different and can do the same or better at any job, as someone who is not disabled.
I grew up with my two brothers one of which has a disability. The truth is I never realized he had a disability, and to me he was always my big brother whom I followed around. He would take care of me and taught me things I never would have thought of on my own. It was not until I turned 16 years of age when my mother told me that he had a disability. Even though everyone else treats him different, I never have because he does everything better than I do. Just because he is disabled many people have assumed he’s unable to play sports but he can beat me at any sport hands down.
