Little Boy
Many issues that present in this film are bullying, racism and bad relationship between brothers. The issue that I fina very serious is racism because that is something that is happening the most in the world. From the list that Pepper had, the most difficult one I think is the one that the priest called "Befriend Hashimoto" because he thought that all the Japanese were bad people. The easiest one was the one called "Feed the hungry" because all he had to do was invite Hashimoto to his house for dinner. The reason that some things are difficult for some people when dealing with others is the they don't know how to respond or maybe they don't know others are gonna respond. I think our prejudices influence this by the way we think of other people. London changes when he saves Hashimoto and takes him to the hospital. I think the list and mustard seed symbolizes the faith that Pepper had, and the boots represent the love that Pepper had for his father. I don't know if there are anymore symbols in the movie.
