Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of lizzie bright and the buckminster boy.

"because i wanted to know if it was true." "if what was true? " "if lizzie was lying to me. if all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the island." reverend buckminster sighed. "it doesn't matter if it's true. it matters what people think. it matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a negro girl on malaga island. it doesn't matter at all how she got you out there." "it matters to me," turner whispered. "speak up! " "it matters to me." the grim silence circled the room like an eager tiger. it flicked its tail greedily at them, circling, circling, circling. turner felt that it was about to pounce, claws fully out. and then it did.

consider reverend buckminster’s words: "it doesn’t matter if it’s true. it matters what people think.” how might the story be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult?

it would focus more on the social implications of the racial conflict. it would focus less on the racial conflict between the two towns. it would be more accurate since adults tend to be more truthful. it would be less biased since adults tend to have fewer prejudices.
