Cassie and papa are sitting on the front porch. hey talk abot the incident with Uncle Hammer and Jermy's picture. Papa tells Cassie that everthing Uncle Hammer says is true, even if he acts a little hard on her. Papa then explains that his grandfather was a white slave owner, the owner of his father mother. He uses this as an example of how white men can act with black women. They take advantage of black women. He then mentions that boys will start courting Cassie very soon, but CVassie inwardly protests. She wants to remain friends with the boys she knows. The conversation turns again to race, and Papa suggest that everyone is of a mixed race in some way. No one can pick who his ancestors are,then he make his wish.

i think tht not everything he said is true.. and tht cassie can handle her own problems with boys... and i agree with papa in someways bout eveyone being a mixed race.
ReplyDeleteI felt like Cassie didn't really want to believe that her father was telling the truth about how white men act towards black women. She tried to tell her dad that the boys she's friends with won't take advantage of her. But her dad feels like he is not getting through to her. But overall, I liked the summary. I felt some more effort could have been put into it and the spelling mistakes are okay. But the summary was great.!

This is a good summary!!! I think her dad felt that she wasn't listening to him when he was trying to tell her how wite men take advantage of black women. She tells her dad that the guys she's friends with will remain her friends.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Cassie doesn't believe anything that Papa is telling her about his grandfather being a white slave owner. I also think that its good that she's telling him that she will remain friends with the guys she hangs out with!!! I really like the summary!!
ReplyDeleteI think that this summary makes no sense and the grammer needs work like they put cvassie.That is messed up.
ReplyDeleteHow would a black man own a white slave? Thats my big question.Also another important thing is she might know how white men ack with black women but we dont know so why they tell us about that?
ReplyDeletei agree i thought it was the ither way but idk
ReplyDeleteThis was very good,
ReplyDeletebut i also thought it was either way,
this chapter i believe became a shock to cassie, i dont think cassie expected that from papa. but uncle hammers thoughts seemed to be very true. i think cassie is afriad to think that boys will turn out like that

All of these comments, i agree with them. (:
ReplyDeleteThere are many spelling errors, just to point some out Cassie was spelled as cvassie.
ReplyDeleteI hate to embarrass you but the second sentence, the first word is missing a T, CVassie, and abot. Sorry.
