I think Timothy was not upset but not so happy because at that time black men were still looked down upon. If I was Timothy I would be angry why I put him on my raft but i would have a little sympathy, he did get his head cracked. But the anger would be stronger than the sympathy. Because as black people  we were looked down on for decades and decades and white people were always thinking they were  better because they were white. And you now what that kid looked at me like I was ugly and tried to bight me up. Because probaly she said not to talk to black people!!!!
