Car Salesman

Pinkston who Sonny calls Pink through the novel lives in number six, a one-bedroom.  He has wiry hair mostly white with a hint of orange and red in it.  He has freckles and a river of a scar that cuts from the side of his eyebrow, where it trickles down, winding down to his jaw, where it gets wider and disappears under his neck.   Pink, an albino man is always standing in the front of the building selling used cars.  I believe the significance of Pink the car salesman is to show the significance of racism in the novel.  The racism that is depicted from Cloyd towards Pink.  I also believe that Pink has anger towards Cloyd because he can sense his racism and this is going to give Pink the opportunity to try and turn Sonny against Cloyd to help Pink better himself in The Flowers.  I believe in the long run Pink is a bad influence for Sonny because he already has given him beer and expects him to drive when he is not even of age.  Pink only wants to better himself and does not care about anyone else other wise he would remember simple facts such as Sonny not being old enough to drive.  In the long run Pink will use Sonny for his own benefits like Cloyd is doing right now with Sonny.  If Sonny keeps listening to Pink he will end up in serious trouble I believe not only with Cloyd but also with Silvia his mother.
