Chapters 2, 3, and 4

 Chapters 2,3,and 4 were kind of harsh in a way. I really started to feel sorry for the slaves. It seemed like everything they could of either ended badly or they still got whipped because their master wanted to do it for their own pleasure. Slaves were really taken advantage of and nobody appreciated their hard work. This really got me thinking because today if somebody were to be treated like this they would not put up with it nor would the people seeing it. I think that some of the punishments well most of the punishments were a little to sever and cruel for the things they were getting punished for. It does not see right to me that people got treated this way back then and it wasn't a big deal. It was common for African Americans to be treated like property back then before everyone had freedom and everyone was treated equally.

  1. I really liked how you included lots of your opinion on the situatiuon that the slaves were in within your response to the writing. I think it is awesome that you are able to express your opinion in a way that allows us as the reader to kind of "connect" with you and see how you were feeling while you were reading the chapters.
