A 6 page essay that looks at T.C. Boyle's novel The Tortilla Curtain and Lawrence Kasdan's film The Grand Canyon, each of which picture male middle-class, white protagonists who undergo a traumatic and life-altering event that has racial overtones. In Boyle's novel, trauma substantiates Delaney's nascent racism into something concrete and compelling, which subsequently takes over his life. Grand Canyon, a similar trauma opens Mack to new possibilities and new ways of perceiving his humanity and that of others. The ways in which these two men differ points to the dichotomy that exists in the ways in which people can react to traumatic events and points to the truth that how one reacts is a choice.
