The narrator, Moon Shadow Lee, describes their trips to American cities as adventures, although that does not necessarily mean that they were positive. He indeed was reunited with his father, he felt safe by his side and they both they learned about being a father and a son, nevertheless, he describes every trip to the cities as unfamiliar and frightening (an adventure into a strange and fearful city), and even describes white Americans as "the demons", which suggests that Moon did not trust them, he felt rather fear and aversion to them.
