Merrisa. reaction to chapter one.

i didn't like chapter one at all because it was really sad and i didn't understand how anyone could be so mean to anyone like that. seeing someone get beaten like that would be to traumatizing. i honor everyone who were a slave at one point of there life and i feel very sorry to them that they had to deal with this like that just because of the color of there skin. i wish that back in the day you could be whoever you wanted to be without any one telling you if it was wrong or not. i really want to go back in time and help some of those people that were suffering like that. this story really stood out to me because of the way he described his own life. he didn't complain about anything nor did he say that something was ever wrong. he told what he saw and didn't make it seem like it was worse then it already was.

  2. Merrisa, I agree with everything you wrote. I was thinking the same thing when I was reading this. I can't believe all the things he's been through and its only the first chapter. Good job :)
