NEW BOOK
The book that I am reading now is called Mississippi Trail 1955, by Chris Crowe. So far this book is about a boy named Hiram and he is like letting the reader know what happened in the summer of 1955 when he was staying with his grandpa and grandma in Greenwood,Mississippi.At the beginning of the book Hiram and his grandpa was walking to the courthouse and Hiram's grandpa gave him a nickel so he can get some candy then they went to his grandpas field to watch the workers work and all the workers are black people and his grandpa saw Hiram playing with one of the workers hoes (cutting tool) and he got mad at the worker for letting his grandson play with his hoes and I know this because in the book it says on page7 "Hiram Hillburn, you put that down right now!" Grandpa shouted.I dropped the hoe and grandpa turned to the worker."You,boy!" he snapped "Don't you know any better than to let my grandson play with that tool? I ain't paying you to be a slacker, so you got no reason to be resting when you should be chopping." My reaction to this will be that I wouldn't let him yell at me just because I worked for him and I also wold be responsible and I wouldn't let his grandson play with the hoes. Also in the story after that his grandpa said that on page 8 "God put Negroes to work the land. They don't feel the heat like we do they can work all day long'. I f I was there in that stiuation then I would think that he was a races old man and that I would say something different then how he felt about black people and all people that are other reaces
