Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Pg152-217

My summary:
Many things happen to the author` s family. One night, when their family was sleeping, their house was being burned by some bad men. Then author` s family experience this event. They knew that Wallace store want to hurt them. But they are not able to defeat to bad men. Fortunately, their house is a little burned. They can still live in the house. When Christmas day was coming, they had a party to have fun. After Christmas day, somebody talked about selling their land including author` s land. But author` s family did not agree to sell their land. They wanted to protect the land. In their opinion, the land was just like their lives. If they drop the land, they would be not able to live. Finally, the land was not selled. They were successful. Then the book was talking about author `s mother. When some leaders listened to her class, she telled the truth without book to students. Because she thought that the book` s content was not true, she telled the truth. The leader was not glad about what she was talking about. She got fired by them. Then T.J. telled the secret about her mother to school, then all the friends ignored him. They did not like to make friends with him. Next thing was happened .Because the author` s family want to restrict Wallace store to sell the products. They made a store for their land` s people. So they need to bring a lot of stuff to home. So her father and father` s friend go to the market. When they came back during the road, their wagon was broken. A wheel was lost. When they repair their wagon, her father got shot. After they came back, Author` s family worried about him. But they are not able to defeat to bad men......
My response:
I already read three chapters. Now, I have a strong feeling. The world was unfair. I am sorry about black people. They did not have freedom. They lived in the bottom of the society. Nobody understood what they were doing. Nobody could help them. They only depended on themselves. to live. Burning the house, losing the job and getting shot can said that they were being in dangerous situation. I hope they can have freedom in the future. They should be equal like us. The world need peaceful. Maybe next chapter will have some good things to happen. I am expecting for it...
