T.J. rubs the white man's house with two other white boys but only he is blamed for the crime and his family is almost killed by village white people. Logans distract angry mobs by burning their land. People help to silence the fire. In the end, Cassie cries for T.J. because he will be sent to the jail (but he was not lynched)and for their land because it was burned. I thought this ending was kind of hopeless but it is the reality that makes this book amazing which are something like How prejudice is everyday incident and how it was nothing unusual for white people. I like the scene when Cassie has revenge on Lilian-Jean. People have got to be tough to overcome such prejudice. It was a quite sad story but it felt very real, I guess. I'm happy that we had civil rights movement and equal achiivement of right of people no matter of race.
By the way, this was the second time to read this book and I think I understand more about it this time because I knew what I was looking for. Moreover my English is still improving so that helped too. It was good measurement.

Haruka-
ReplyDeleteThis is a well written reflection about the novel. I am glad to hear you understood it more the second time around (and suspect you enjoyed it more too!)
Finally, "yes indeed!"- your English language skills are improving daily!
