Curits' description of Rufus' clothing tells us the history of his economic background. We immediately know that his family is struggling financially.

"As I looked at this new boy with the great big smile and the jacket with holes in the sleeves and the raggedy tennis shoes and the tore-up blue jeans I knew who he was."
