Since I have finished the book, I think it was a very good book. I was amazed at the plot, it was amazing and it always kept me on my toes. I did enjoy the story, I would probably read this book again. Some issues of the family was that Papa was hurt badly and couldn't go back on the railroad, while Mama was fired from her teaching at Jefferson Davis School, so they had to rely on the cotton and Uncle Hammer. But then Papa burned one-fourth of the cotton to save T.J.. The community problems were was that the Wallace's were racially discriminating the Blacks that were shopping there, also they would give alcohol to the teens and adding it on to the family bill. Another community problem was that Harlan Granger was raising the cotton prices on
This story follows two men and their travels. Jacksonland tells the story of Andrew Jackson and John Ross's fight for the better of twenty years. The plot went wayward a few times. Inskeep writes very well, but the book was in monotone, it was not captivating at the very least. The story had many characters that were semi-important, but were insignificant to the plot. I felt like this book should have been better written. It is the type you would read to someone to make them fall
In this book the author shows much courage with how she sets the story up. When Tom Roberetson defending a black man, shows us that color dosent matter, and we shoud all stick up for eachother. This story and book shows a lot of predjudice and courge among the people of Monroeville, Alabama. Just because he was balck dosent mean he needed to be accused to something terrible. People judge by color, race and relgion and its not fair to anyone, uness they truly know you. Another example is when Jem touched the radley house because everyone else was scared.
The movie is just as good as the book is and I would recommend it to someone who wants to learn what it was like for a poor young black family in Chicago was like in the 1960s. There were many similarities between the book and the movie but the movie added some scenes that do not really go with the play
It paints a picture of how ruthless white people were against black people even though some of them were completely innocent men and women with good hearts. It also paints how perfect and normal-seeming life was for people like Atticus and his children. Not only was Atticus an excellent lawyer, ( which made him a highly respected person in the community) he was a white man which was basically a free get out of discrimination card! Atticus and his children were in the highest social class.
In the case study, Crying and Marching, Zack Will is a fourth grader boy who seemed to cry for at least 30 minutes every day in different school settings (e.g. cafeteria, classroom, hallway, and music class). According to the information provided in this case, the school guidance counselor, Ms. Ellis, mentioned how Zack’s mother provided information about some difficulties that she was also having with him. Apparently, Jack’s father had moved out, and the mother’s new boyfriend moved in, causing some issues and misbehavior on Zach’s part (p. 56). The school principal, Mrs. Debaliviere, had decided to implement an intervention plan that had been proven to be effective with another student in the past. The principal had assumed that Zack’s crying behavior occurred only to obtain teacher attention. Based on this, Principal Debaliviere had told all teachers to bring Zack to the office as soon as he exhibited the behavior, where he was going to be put in a time-out chair in a corner.
This book is filled with many emotions. It allows you to brainstorm on the next events of the story. I chose this book because the cover gave an image that was curious, which I was anxious to finds lots about. The predictions from the book gave me ideas as I read. During the story, I made several images in my mind to understand it closely. In my view, this story was adventurous. This book will have you wondering what will happen next!
I think that the story was a little confusing at first, when the war opposing the North and the South breaks out, because the book is told through “Charlotte’s” point of view - and she cannot fully understand what is going on.
The purpose of the this book was to inform us about the history and rasicm and slavery affected everyone. Also how there was curoptuion in the government.overall this book had some different veiws that made you realize how far a human being can go just to be free. Different group of people had different types of conflict but knew that the had to keep on fighting because justice always win. with these hard times America would never be were are today.

Juliana Snow’s story touched me very deeply. I found it hard not to cry as I read both parts. I personally feel as children have more maturity and intelligence than we sometimes give them credit for. Even though she was only four when she made the decision to go to heaven. I feel that she fully understood the choice she was making. I have personally experienced a situation like this but at the time I was too young to understand how selfish my family decision at that time was. My younger brother Elijah was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at the age of two. The doctor told my mother that he would only make it to five. He was such a strong child and live until he was nine. But during that time, I know that the things he went through
This book has changed my view on the world. As you grow, you do not seem to think about all the evil going on in the world, per say. In my opinion, slavery was probably one of the worst forms of evil. It makes me question everyone’s intention with a particular race, noting that not everyone is meant to do harm. This story helps me view the world as cruel yet relieving. Cruel in a way that life is always throwing obstacles your way that almost seem impossible to overcome, but in order to survive, you must get through them. It is relieving in a sense that once you have gone through all the rough patches, you are able to
Lastly, I disapprove of Mr. Haley’s actions throughout the story. In my opinion, Mr. Haley is nothing but a heartless and racist man. He has no problem with separating a son from his mother. He feels nothing for the slaves he acquires and only sees them as objects. He justifies his actions by saying “these critters ain’t like white folks you know; they gets over things, only manage right.” Mr. Haley is a despicable man and it is sad to think that his way of thinking was not uncommon during the story’s time period.
I enjoyed reading his story I guess because it was an actual story. For him being a Quaker he still showed he was a true teenager at heart. He seemed to penalize himself though more though out the story than anyone else did, unless you count him saying he was penalized by god. I didn’t know Quakers had no interest in Christmas and if they do he sure didn’t like it all that much. He had a huge issue with drinking and cussing, but he did some pretty sketchy things too, that seems a little judgmental for a Quaker. He also felt bad for all the slaves I already knew that Quakers weren’t big no slave trade, but I didn’t know they would convince people to free their slaves, he must have been very convincing. I thought as a whole though that the story
The plot of this story is in Mississippi where civil rights movement was happening but the Mississippi didn’t like it so they formed the clan called the KKK or “Ku Klux Klan”. Most of the white people were in the Klan from normal people to even people on the county board like Police and Sheriff's. Black people went down there to get their voting rights back. So they went to a Church called Mount Zion to talk about it. When the meeting was done they were meet by the kkk and it was not good for the blacks. They were beaten and some were even killed. After that the kkk burned down the church Mount Zion. Then the next FBI case was a black drywaller that got a job with two white guys. But they needed to go to the shop to get stuff and he told the shop that if they weren’t there by 4 pm to call the cops.
Throughout the novel I never lost focus and every page ended with a cliff hanger. John Le Carre does an amazing job at keeping the reader intrigued by not leading on what will happen next and by continuing to add new characters and plot twists when we least expect it. For example, towards the end of the book readers are kept on edge by never knowing what will happen next. Whenever John got me to believe a certain thing would happen such as Mundt going to trial and being the only one on trial, the plot would twist and change to Fiedler being punished as opposed to Mundt. The same thing happened when I believed that Mundt was the one trying to hurt Leamas when he broke in at Fiedlers instead of him actually trying to protect and help Alec. Furthermore,
