The author of "The Crow-Child" used vivid details to present a theme of prejudice and discrimination. Through the description of the main character as having black skin and a crow's foot, the author highlights the physical differences that lead to prejudice and mistreatment. The use of specific words like "horror" and "loathing" further emphasizes the negative attitudes towards the crow-child. Additionally, the actions of the other characters, such as the children throwing stones and the villagers shunning the crow-child, serve to develop the theme by showing the resulting intolerance and ostracism.
