The society hardly ever calls Dick Prosser by his name. He is mainly referred as the Negro or as one of Sheppertons possessions. The society also saw Dick as a black, hard working, lower classman. " He had come there looking for work just a month or two before and was eager to get employment, at no matter what wage."" As long as he got a job he was going to be happy. How much he was going to get paid didn't matter to him. His qualifications were so impressive that they thought that there was nothing he wasn't able to accomplish. Because he was black the town put him on a lower class level and he worked for his pay. The public was even cruel to him and didn't even know it. "Mr. Shepperton himself declared that Dick was the best man he'd ever had, the smartest darky that he'd ever know."" What Mr. Shepperton said sounds nice at first but really it's a slam on Dick. He's only seen as a black man, not an equal, and it shows that he is owned by Mr. Shepperton, not a free man.
Dick Prosser was a diverse man. At first, he was described as a gentle and smart Negro: "It was a joy, for example, just to watch him split up kindling. He did it with a power, a kind of military order, that was astounding."" His military training made him intelligent in certain aspects and well rounded. He was considered tender around the boys because he taught them survival in the calmest way possible. He was a delicate man. He was well liked among the younger boys because he taught them many advantages on sports and called them "Sir- with respect. "This formal address pleased us immensely, gave us a felling of mature importance and authority."" For Dick calling the younger boys "Sir- was to officially say that the young white boys had more power than he did. He didn't have to call them by that but it shows that he actually took extra steps to please the younger gentlemen. As the story ends, Dick snaps, portraying as a ruthless and unsteady person.
