a)-The first thing Mr Norton notices about Carole was her black doll. He was baffled to see it and exclaimed that he had never seen anything like that in his entire life
b)-Yes, she is honest about her feelings as later in the passage she asks her husband to wake her up and find out if she wants something to eat
c)-Carole and Norton look at people in a very different manner. For Carole all people are equal, she does not differentiate between black and white, she is not aware of what is race and it does not matter to her. However, the Nortons differentiate and discriminate people on the basis of race and look down on other people as inferior.
