Another elderly that's treated unfairly is<em> "Mr. Charles Pemberton"</em> who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.
Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits<em> "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt."</em> Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the <em>"CARE-A-VAN"</em> volunteers by translating for them.
