Willie Johnson Analysis

The Conflict of “The Other Foot” by Ray Bradbury is: They can’t decide how they want to treat the
white man, like they were treated, or like an equal.

Also conflict between wife and husband.

I predict that: The husband will try and kill the white man.

 At first Willie is motivated to hurt the white man or lynch him but later he has a change of heart. The reason for
this change is (and add a detailed “because” ) because he feels sympathy for the white man, all the places and
things that he hated on earth are destroyed now, the only thing left to hate is these poor men on the spaceship
asking for help, and he won't do that.
