"Littleangels were beach-colored and wore bell bottoms. Littledemons were mudbrown in the Airport-Fairy frocks with forhead bumps that might turn into horns." I thought this was a very interesting observation made by Rahel at such a young age. Already she has been convinced that the white race is superior to her own. I think that her being in a family of Anglofiles has a large influence on her life and the way she views Sophie mol.

This observation is very remarkable. Rahel feels that Sophie Mol is indeed better that her right at the start. She is pretty, she is white, and she isn't a "littledemon". All these little comparisons are made at such a young age. It just shows you how much power the "white" culture has above the lower class societies how superior it is.
