The Whipping Boy By Sid Fleischman, A Single Shard

Because of this situation, Jem has developed a moral that will stand strong not only because of his father but because he has seen the wrongfulness of the town due to prejudice and racism.

Jem is an innocent boy who sometimes loses hope but always gains back his courage.

Although the novel is intended for young people the age of twelve-year-old Sarney, it is unsparing in its depiction of slavery. The novel is written in dialect, and attempts to show the reader what it was really like to endure the pain of being considered a possession. Despite her youth, Sarney has already seen people being beaten before her eyes, attacked by dogs, bound and chained and punished for running away. As a future slave woman, she knows she is likely to be forcibly 'bred' or subjected to serve her white master's pleasures. The actions of Nightjohn result in getting him dismembered in punishment, but Sarney and John both believe that the rewards of reading are too great and continue to try to help other slaves

I also learned that just because someone is rude to you doesn’t mean to do it back. Before reading this book I had a similar mindset to Jem as I thought the world was a safe and nice place to thrive in. But after reading this book, I’ve realized certain situations in my life have made me who I am today. I’m a caring person who holds up wall because I’m scared to get ruined just like Jem. From Jem’s experience, I have realized just because the world is a cruel place, you don’t need to become cruel along with

The slave girl is reared in an atmosphere of licentiousness and fear. The lash and the foul talk of her master and his sons are her teachers. When she is fourteen or fifteen, her owner, or his sons, or the overseer, or perhaps all of them, begin to bribe her with presents. If these fail to accomplish their purpose, she is whipped or starved into submission to their will.(Jacobs.ch.9)

When we were assigned to research a children’s book author, I was immediately overwhelmed by the hundreds of books I read when I was a child and adolescent. But, after a while of sifting through my memories I realized that that was what I did not want to write about; wonderful and inspiring but stagnant memories. I wanted to write about something that was still alive with me after all these years, something that directly affected how and what I teach my students. The answer came to me through the simple word of, “Hatchet”. Through his vast array of literature, Gary Paulsen has taken not only my imagination but thousands of children’s imaginations on wild adventures to far off places and sometimes to personal places where we can learn to discover our own selves.

First is the book, the book was probably my favorite because of all of the details C.S. Lewis put in it. In the book the reason they was sent to the professor's house is because there were air raids happening in England where the kids lived. Lucy, who was the youngest, Edmund, the youngest other than Lucy, Susan, who was the oldest besides Peter, and Peter, the oldest, was playing hide and seek. While in the game Lucy found a wardrobe with large coats in it, so she decided to hide there. Lucy

In the movie, 12 Years a Slave, there are many scenes where it shows that slavery had a dehumanizing effect on slaves and slaveowners. One specific scene that shows the dehumanizing effect is when Patsey gets whipped. In this scene, Master Epps strips Patsey of her clothes and ties her to a stake. After Master Epps ties her to the stake, he then attempts to whip her, but he finds that he cannot because his emotions overtake him due to the fact that he is having an affair with Patsey. Instead of whipping Patsey himself, he makes Solomon, another slave, whip Patsey.

The following are Newberry Honor books have been chosen by past and present committees due to them possessing literary content worthy of being recognized.

Trying to do right from wrong was a huge problem in To Kill a Mockingbird. Nobody wanted to stand out from the pack of people who wanted to do wrong except for Atticus Finch. Atticus wanted to show his children, Jem and Scout how to follow their heart and do good deeds. When everyone said to Atticus not to defend Tom Robinson, he did not listen and did what was appropriate to do. Atticus gave Tom a fair chance at court and fought every second for him. He did not care what anyone thought or said about him, he did what was need to do to show his children the correct way of doing things. When Mr.Ewell spat in Atticus’s face, Atticus did not start a fight or stir up drama. He wiped his face and walked away because he knew Jem was watching. Atticus wanted to make the better out of a situation and never the worse. This shows students how distinguish good from bad and right from wrong. You want everyone to see you as a good-hearted and generous person. When you are honest and sincere you make superior choices that are positive for you.
