how are the lives of the white and black children diffrent in this novel?

Their lives are different in pretty much every way. The white children get a real school as opposed to a few decaying shacks. The white children get a bus ride into school as opposed to walking for three hours. The white children get new books and supplies as opposed to used and dilapidated supplies cast out from white schools. I could go on but suffice to say, life for the black children was much harsher than anything that the white children had to face.
