Umm so I have been slacking on this.. Haha, that's why my grade is oh so low. Well I didn't do much this weekend. I was suppose to go to Orrville, but we never went. We stayed home the whole time. But today, apparently my mom went there without us -____-' I'm annoyed by that because she can do stuff while me & Christina are stuck home doing nothing. OH ON TOP OF THAT, I'm super sick. I went home early friday because I was about to die. I lost my voice saturday & I have been coughing really hard ever since. Today, it's not as bad. But oh my, I don't think I can survive. It's my 5th day eing sick D:
But I'm fine :D
But I'm fine :D

1. Night John is a book where a young slave by the name of Sarny learns how to read and right undercover. The plantation she works at is Clel Waller. The slaves would only have routines of eating 2 times a day and eating a lot was not worth it. Night John, who was an old worker, asked anyone if they had chewing tobacco. Knowing Sarny uses tobacco juice to spit on roses, she had some. She traded the tobacco to learn how to read. The first letter to be learned was the letter A. Later, Night John demanded that the fake passes were founded and who did it. He threatened to kill someone. When Sarny confessed, the threaten of killing someone was put aside. Only two people tried to run away. Jim climbed atop a tree to get away from the furious dogs after him. Instead, the dogs ripped him apart from his toes to his waist. Still hanging there, he had died. Pawley, he would sneak out every night to see his girlfriend and they would spend time laying down and stargaze. They both happen to fall asleep and the workers went on a search to find him. When they found Pawley, they cut his akilies for him to not run away, and he bled to death. Alice, Pawley's girlfriend, happened just get whipped and ran off. Another day, Sarny learned the letters B and C. In the end, Sarny learned how to write the letter A.
2. Mascot is a story where a young black boy is fostered by a white family, the Swerlins. The family put him in a position where all he felt like was a "mascot."

He was very surprised when his class voted him as class president. Though he felt like a "pink poodle" when this happened. Mrs. Swerlins gave Malcom a job at a restaurant to wash dishes. Malcom was closer to this family than his own, they actually liked him. In English class, Mr. Ostrowski supported that the white students had a career to work toward.

Every second there, he loved it, but when he returned home, his attitude changed. Everyone noticed that it changed. The Swerlins deicided to move Malcom to the Lyons family. Later, he moved in with Ella.
3. The movie The Great Debaters are compared and contrasted at the same time from Night John and Mascot. There were some similarities. In The Great Debaters and Mascot, the setting was put in a white society and racial barriers happened. In all three stories, learning was happening. Though the The Great Debaters had the students in school and Night John had the little girl learning a few letters. Mascot, Malcom went to school as well. In The Great Debaters, Samantha Booke was the first woman to be on the debate team. She made a difference. Malcom wanted to become a high class laywer. Each story had a character that stood out the most. Each character tried to reach their goal and work their hardest. All three stories compare and contrast from one another.
