Summary: The Sounder Story
Review: ...Sounder is a book about a boy who has a dog named Sounder. This boy loves his dog so much, he wouldn't trade it for anything. Anyways, one day a white sheriff comes into the boy's house to take his dad to jail (prison). While the sheriff dragged the boy's dad to the wagon to take him away, Sounder runs after the wagon. The sheriff shot sounder until he fell to the ground while the wagon ran over him. Sounder fell dead. The boy was very sad and hurt. The boy buried him. Days passed, later the boy found that sounder was gone from the grave. The boy and his mom think Sounder is alive. Keep reading to see whether or not he's still dead or alive while other interesting things are going on."Suddenly something crashed against the fence in front of he boy's face. A jagged piece of iron tore open the skin and crushed the fingers of one of his hands against the fence." I didn't like that part because all the boy was doing was looking for his dad who was in jail. The sad thing about it was that after the white man threw the iron at him the man started laughing. The boy kept picturing himself throwing that piece of iron right back at the white man, but he didn't. He just walked away. I would want to throw it right back at him also. "There on the cabin porch, on three legs, stood the living skeleton of what had been a mighty coon hound. The tail began to wag and the hide made little ripples back and forth over the ribs." I like that part in the story because, I like the fact that Sounder was alive. I don't understand how Sounder could survive that injury. First, he got shot, and then he got ran-over by a wagon. Even through Sounder can walk only on three legs, has one ear a bloody shoulder, and he almost lost an eye, it's a good thing he is still alive. I don't have another favorite part or another part I don't like. This book was OK. Some parts were interesting while others were boring. The most interesting part that kept me reading was the part when Sounder ran after the wagon and got hurt. Even though it's sad that it had happened to him, it still keeps your reading. I would say that the majority of the people who read this book would like it. I'm sure that the next person who read it will like it.

Summary: Sounder Book Review
Review: Sounder
By: William H. Armstrong
Reviewed by: W. ...
Period: 4This book is about an African American boy in the 19th century. His father is a sharecropper and he struggles to feed his family. One day some deputies come and arrest his father and shoot Sounder, the dog. The boy searches for his dog and when he finally finds Sounder as a crippled dog, he goes out to fine his father. He finally finds his father and gets and education. I liked the book because it shows the real world. "Part of the cake fell to the floor; it was only a box of crumbs now. The man swore again and made the boy pick up the crmbs from the floor." "The deputy who wasn't holding the reins turned on the seat, aimed his shotgun at the dog jumping at the side of the wagon, and fired." It shows that life is unfair and we just have to deal with it. I dislikes the book because it didn't really have much to do with it's title, Sounder. Sounder is a dog, and the only think that happens to the dog is that his ear and his leg is missing. Sounder also howls a lot. Other than that, there was no point of having Sounder. My favorite part of the book was at the end when it talks about life and what it really is. It says, "Only the unwise think that what has changed is dead." It also says that history repeats itself. Throughout the book, the boy's mom keeps on singing the song that gives the boy inspiration to find his dog and his dad.

Summary: Sounder an excellent book
Review: Sounder a touching book about the strong and lasting ties of hardship, love,and loyalty. This story begins when a boy, a dog named Sounder and the boy's family begin a journey. When a African American family in the deep south, tries to survive the hardships left from the Civil War, problems start to occur, such as poverty and predjudice people. This is a story about a boy, a father, and a dog, Sounder. All the boy wants to do is conquer is ambition in life which is to read and write. Throughout the book , bible stories help the boy go down the paths in his long journey of life. On the other hand Sounder a coon dog, would go to the ends of the Earth for his master, the boy's father. I thought Sounder was a great book because it showed loyalty, faith,and perserverence, in the end as the boy's mother says " only the lord could make a story as beautiful as Sounders". So if you're looking for a fantastic, heartfelt,and wonderful book Sounder just might be the one you are looking for.

Summary: 4 Stars for Sounder
Review: "Sounder raced after the wagon. No one yelled after him. The mother stood still in the doorway. The deputy who wasn't holding the reins turned on the seat, aimed his shot gun at the dog jumping at the side of the wagon and fired." This moment changes the life of a young, African-American boy and his feelings toward others. He undergoes the hardship of racism toward him and the family. The boy is determined to find his dad, who had been arrested because of stealing a ham for the family. He also continues to look for Sounder, the dog who had been shot and ran away. Then his luck changes. I give this book four stars because the subject matter did not catch my attension but still is a great story told from the eye of a African-American boy who didn't give up.

Review: The boy, his father, Sounder. There once was a boy who lived in a cabin with his father, mother, brother, and sisters. He also had a dog, Sounder. Sounder would always go hunting with his master for food. One day they bought home a ham, and thats when all the trouble began. As you can see, the boy's life was pretty hard, with all the hunting. It was hard in the beginning, and got worse toward the end. I think this book is great. I would give this book four stars out of five. I also think you should give this book a try, and read it!
