Sarny

Summary: This sequel to Nightjohn is a true gem.
Review: For those of you who loved Nightjohn, it won't come as a surprise that the sequel telling the rest of Sarny's life is equally well written. After learning how to read on the plantation from Nightjohn, Sarny uses that skill throughout her life to teach others. The narrative starts while Sarny is ninety-four and in the nursing home, as she explains the need to write down the story of her life. After her first husband had died of being overworked in the fields, all Sarny had left was her children. Shortly before the Civil War cruel Master Waller sold little Delie and Tyler. After the arrival of Yankee troops and freedom, Sarny sets off for New Orleans to locate her babies. The rest is a story that, like its prequel, made me cry.

Summary: What a great book
Review: I enjoyed this book thoroughly, I thought it was well written, and once you started reading it, you were shipped back in time. I thought it was a good book, and should be read more in High School classes. I believe I learned more about slavery than I had known before.

Summary: Sarny
Review: I read the book Sarny in school. It was a great story that was well written. I was reading something that I, along with my other peers do not experience everyday. Slavery is something we do not deal with, but it is a huge part of our history that we should all know about. The book portrays it in a light that shows what people like Sarny went through. I think that classes in schools should be required to read Sarny.

Summary: nightjohn
Review: I really believe the book sarny was very well written and it really portrayed how slavery really was and how bad things were for the slaves. It really mad me open my eyes and see just how good I have it. I used to just think that the slaves would just have to work really hard and long days,and at the end of the day they would be able to rest and eat a good meal, but that is the complete oposite of how things really were. Life for the slaves was horrible and theres just no words to say that would describe how bad they had it and just how bad they were treated. I fill that everyone should read this book because it is definitly an eye opener.

Summary: Sarny
Review: I really enjoyed Sarny. I never realized the horrible things the slave owners did to their slaves. I was glad when the young soldier shot Sarny's slave owner. That was terrible of him to sell her children especially when the war was almost over. I didn't think she would ever find her children. It was quite a quest to go on to walk to New Orleans. I was shocked when Sarny's second husband was killed because Sarny started a school for the ex-slaves. It was good of Sarny to use her talent of teaching and use them. I'm glad that Miss Laura gave a lot of her money to Sarny. I didn't realize she was So rich. I think Sarny did a good job of saving and spending her money. A lot of people would have wasted it right away but she was wise. I really enjoyed this book. It really brings you up to terms at what really happened to the slaves during and after the war.

Summary: Wow what a bool
Review: I think Sarny is an awesome book. It tells a story about a determined young women who stayed focus and then finally got what she wanted in life. I really liked the slang that was used when writing this book. It added so much to the book. I read Night John first and then decided I wanted to read Sarny as well. I really enjoyed reading and if another book comes out like this one I will definately read it too.
