Chapter 2

Someone hears that TJ Avery's trial is next month in Strawberry. No one has hope in the jury's decision becuase no one would believe a black man's story over a white man's word. After school all the children go home to tell there parents. Cassie reviels who started the fire on the Logan's farm that interupted TJ's hanging and saved him. Cassie found her mom chopping firewood and thinks back to when mom was a teacher before she got fired for oganizing a boycott. Mama says that TJ will probably get hanged. Stacy wanted to go to the trial but his parents dontwant him to. Mr Jamison knows Papa started the fire on the Logan's farm. Stacy goes tothe trial anyway with Wordell and Joe. Cassie, Little- Man, and Christophor John go along too.

    This is very good it lets in all the info from chapter two. Yet it needs to be more specific and tell the details not just the little general details.

    I agree with Kaleigh. It wasn't real specific.

    Well I think taht this paragraph is really good because it has alot of info. Its not faiir that they believe a white persons story instead of a balck persons story. The good thing is that cassie came and told the whole story and the judge let T.J. free.

    I liked the summary, but it could have had a little more detail in what it says. More detail in the end, also. I think that it was great that the Judge let him talk, but I think the only reason they didn't believe him was that he was black. They shouldn't judge someone like that. I think that they should listen to TJ's story with respect and not disrespect just, because he is a black man.

    i dont believe tj did that i think that ms.barnett was trying to deny the fact that she was wrong. i dont think i could live back in those days this is a very good summary.its just not right the way whites used to blacks back then.

    If you don't think a summary tells enough detail you need to include the details yourself, please go back and include some of the details that you think are missing!
