Passage

This entire book thus far, a certain amount of attention is paid to the activities of Dylan's father, and the film he's making. It's said constantly that there is so little of a change from frame to frame, that neither Dylan nor him mother understand Abraham's obsession with it, but he thinks the stillness is part of it, the slow changes he makes to the film.  I find this rather symbolic, relating to the passage of time in the novel. It seems slow, because nothing much is changing, and yet it's all flowing together.

I also found out that Dylan is the white boy. He doesn't seem to be discriminated against too much, though, because he's always playing games on the street with a ton of boys from the neighborhood. I'm guessing this is set in a more contemporary time.
