Photograph connection
The photograph is a prime example of what a public drinking fountain would have looked like in the 1960s. White people hated the idea of sharing anything with a colored person. They believed because they had a different color on their skin that colored people carried deadly diseases. The water fountains were always seperated segregating the whites from the colored. Frankenstein's monster in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley always felt this segregation from the beginning of his creation. After saving a little girl from a rushing river he was repaid for his benevolence by being shot. "On seeing me, he darted towards me, and tearing the girl from my arms, hastened towards the deeper parts of the wood. I followed speedily, I hardly knew why; but when the man saw me draw near, he aimed a gun, which he carried, at my body, and fired" (129). Human soceity never accepted him into their lives. Every time he was seen he was either beaten or ran from. The human's were scared of the monster because he was different from them in every way. That is how white people thought against colored people, because they were different they isolated them from the "normal."
