I love chapter four. I enjoyed the part where they went to the Wallace's store and fought and Mr. Morrison came to save the day! I also love it when he tells the truth to his mother about going down there.
ReplyDeleteIn chapter four it creeped me out when the Logans went to the Berry's house and how they were describing Mr. Berry and talking about how the Wallace's had poured kerosene and had lit him on fire and the children and when they mentioned how his face had no nose, and his head had no hair the skin was scarred, burned, and the lips were black, like char coal yea that's the part that actually creeps me out in the book...sofare.
ReplyDeleteYasmine,
ReplyDeleteI agree that was a very gruesome scene. Mildred Taylor did a good job with her descriptive writing so that the reader could acctually visualize it.
Yasmine,
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you because it was really gruesome like Mrs. Graham said but I like the way the author discribed it because I had an image in my head at that time. OH yeah I got a question for you when is the cereal project due?, ANd when is the summer project DUe?
So far chapter four is the best chapter. What I liked in chapter four is when Mildred Tailor was describing MR.berry and how he was burned by the wallace's. My other favorite part is when they go to the store and fight.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter is my 2nd best chapter because it kinda reminds myself about me. I love the part when the teacher caught stacey with the cheating notes. I also agree that the details during that "scene" were very descriptive. I felt goosebumps all through my body.But that got me thinking why was racism so serious and when are these projects due?
ReplyDeleteTayquan,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think racism is? Why do you think racism might be serious?
What if you lived in the time period of this book -- the early 1930's. Because of the color of your skin you had to go to a separate school, you didn't have the option to take transportation, you got left over used up supplies, your mom couldn't vote, a black man/woman wasn't aloud to hold any elected office (think of Governor Patrick and President Obama) ... How would you feel?
