My Reaction-->>Chapter 2-4
Well i read threw the chapters an they were quite simple and easy to understand the plot.I think it was real harsh how they would treat them. And the one thing that would really chock mi is the conditions and what they had to go threw every single one of those days. it said on pg 14 paragraph 2- they got an allowance, but what kind of allowance is getting a couple pieces of meat and a couple pieces of clothing. They got one jacket and that was for everything so by the time winter came it was probably all worn out. Another thing that really shocked me is that thy didn't even have beds to sleep on! What kind of torture is that!!:[ Another thing that stuck out to me was that children from 7 to 10 years old would hardly ever get clothing to put on since they didn't really work!! Dang this story real sad. It nice to know what happened but this is just to much! Also another thing that really stood out was the fact that killing a black person was normal and not a crime! Its never right to kill any one! And the masters thought they were amazing just because they had money and were white! It shocked mi how the masters of the slaves would enjoy hitting people and torturing them for what ever reason! I like this book yet don't because it is just too sad.

I am curious as to why you like this book. I find nothing to like about it. I think that you feel very strongly about this topic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you this is a sad and somtimes dpressing story. It also still tells what it was like which is good and you do have a strong feeling towards this writing which I can appreacite.
ReplyDeleteElena,
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see that you are starting to understand slaves in the context of "property". At the same time, I agree with you. It is difficult to read about how the slave owners treated the slaves. I wonder how they were able to become so desensitized to the violence?
Elena, i really liked this. You gave alot of your opinion and it was really good. For some reason i enjoyed reading yours because you actually did it and also you mispelled alotta things like i did. hahah It was still good.
