enqlish movie / book questions !

1). Well in the first chapter we learn about the misus, and how the blacks are not allowed to count. Mmmy is like a mother figure to all of the children which she shares a room with, Sarny is one of those. Mammy would pray at night, she was not supposed to, she would also talk about freedom. Old Waller was the slave owner, who brought NightJohn who knew how to read and write but the slave owner had no idea of this. Waller was a very big headed person who thought very highly of himself. NightJohn was brought back in bad shape he was walking in front of the horse while Waller was riding the big brown horse, he had a whip everywhere from old scars he was naked and their were flies all around him. All of the slaves were treated poorly they would be giventheir food in wooden troughs like animals . NightJohn has made a plan with Sarny to tradevtobacco in exchange he will teach her letters. Alice was a breeder , shw was very spacey because of all the wronging doing that was done to her she was whipped so bad that maggots came she then had to be sewn up. Jim the master let the dogs attack himand then he would pull them off. Pawley he met a girl , but forgot to make it back in enough time Waller let the dogs get him , but he did not let them kill him. Mmammy begins getting worried that Sarny might get whipped or worst if it gets out she knows how to read In response NightJohn says that negros should be taught to read and write so that years from now we will know what they went through back then. 


2). Malcom X- elected president had the highest grades in school, was seen as unique
Mr Ostrowski- always gave malcolm the impression that he liked him 
Mr MaynardAllen- the white states man 
Mr Swerlin- used many racist jokes terms throughout the story 
Mr Lyons- was smart, and a very hard working man 
Mrs Lyons- was a very good woman 
Mr Williams- used many jokes about african americans 
Many thought malcolm changed, he wasn't liking when the term "nigger"was being use they thought something was wrong with him. 


3). Th stories were all talking about times of lynching. And during this time many african americans were seen as animals , many were even treated as animals whites would give them no respect. Whites and blacks were seen as unequal so seperating schools was used whites and blacks in different schools. In all of the stories they were taking place in the south, but in these stories they all had a tone of sadness also a good message was in all of these stories .
