Response to the glory field

I thought the glory field was a really good book. My favourite character in the book was tommy because he had a goal in mind and a dream to play pro basketball even though he was black. I felt really bad for tommy for not getting the scholorship and getting ripped off. My favourite part in the book was when Josua and lem catch Mr Joe haynes. It was my favourite part because it was very exciting and intense when they were fighting for the gun and then tieing Mr Joe Haynes up.

I think the grossest part of the book was when the author [walter dean myers ] was describing the conditions of the slave shi. I think it would e so dark and creepy and cold, living in a slave ship would auck!. And the even creeper part is that it still exists today and it could possibly happen to anone.

My Favourite quote in the book was when the bank teller told grandpa moses and grandma saran " The king Street Bank was for white folks". This was my favourite quote because not letting someone borrow money to save their home can change someones lfe forever and they didnt even do anything wrong it was only because the color of there skin. So even though the blacks were free they still had to work for a minimum amount of money to pay for a little house.

This is a very interesting blog. Thanks you very much. This helped me with my Grade 8 Summer Assignment! There are a few spelling and grammar mistakes here and there, but it was still readable! Thank you!
