Document Summary
White older jewish son, boolie is looking for a driver for his wealthy mother who got her car towed (husband has passed) When boolie hires an african american male, hoke to do the job, out of the kindness of his heart he tries fixing things around the house (ex. cleaning the lightbulbs, planting flowers), but she does not like approve. She complains that hoke is eating the food in her kitchen and tells him she doesn"t want him to know anything about her personal family life. However, prior to this, she explains to him that although she is rich, she doesn"t want to be told that, etc (ie. she is not conceited about her higher status) She seems very embarrassed when hoke comes to the front of the temple (church) with the car, opening the door for her. She thinks that people were thinking she thought she was rich. When hoke says that she is rich, she denies this.
