Nicholas Takton #16 5/4/09 Super Summarizer Pages 1-18 Sounder   Sounder a mixed breed of boxer and hound is owned by a sharecropper. The story begins as the sharecroppers oldest son is sitting on their broken down porch with Sounder. The dog is not only a possum hunter for the family's food supply but a companion for the family's oldest son. As the story unfolds in chapter 1, the author tells of the harsh winter and the lack of food for the sharecroppers family. One evening, the father leaves Sounder behind under the cabin porch, goes out at night and comes home with a ham. The mother is very nervous while preparing this meal but the children in the family are very happy they are going to eat something other than corn mash. It is obvious that the father stole the ham as the author describes the tension in the cabin as the ham is cooked and prepared by the mother. The children are happy that they are having something so special as ham and it is not even Christmas. Sounder even gets to enjoy the juice from the ham with biscuits. The smell of the ham stays in the cabin as Chapter 1 closes.

Passage picker p19 paragraph one

This paragraph shows great writing by the author. He describes where they live as "the road which passed the cabin lay like a thread dropped on a patchwork quilt". He does an amazing job of their house and the season.

Sounder Chapter III Questions **1. Where was the boy's mother going when she left the cabin?** --**--- =Sounder chapter 4  = =1.Some things today's reading reminded me of were when Sounder got shot and he started to drip blood across the road. Then,the boy tried to find him on the road, but he could not find him. It reminds when my dog died because she was treated meanly by the vet. I thought this chapter was sad. =
 * 2. What instructions did she give the boy before she left the cabin?**
 * 3) Name 3 things on the boy's mind after his mother left?**
 * 4) What image did the boy have in his mind about what was under the porch?**
 * 5) What things were under the porch?

  2. I thought this chapter related to //__**My Life In Dog Years**__// because a bunch of his dogs die or get injured in a certain way, like when Sounder gets shot in a certain way and gets injured and loses part of his ear. This was very scary.

3. I thought that this chapter was related to the book was alike when people in the news hurt animals. This is very mean, just like when Sounder got shot. --- --- --- --- ---<span style="color: rgb(255, 221, 0); font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> ---<span style="color: rgb(255, 221, 0); font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> ---<span style="color: rgb(255, 221, 0); font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

<span style="color: rgb(146, 0, 255);">I drew this picture of Sounder and his master because they are the main characters in this book. They are both sad that the father is in jail and he can't leave. This was all because the father stole ham and an officer arrested him while the father was at his own home. While there, the officer shot Sounder and he got lost. The officer took his dad in a wagon to go to jail.

For years, Sounder has not barked or shown much interest in anything since he was shot and his master was taken off to prison. In this paragraph, Sounder is acting excited as the family watches a figure moving closer to their cabin. Suddenly, he howled for the first time since he had been shot. His voice was like the great coon hound that he was when he was younger. His voice had returned and it was because the odd crippled figure they were watching from a distance was Sounder's master hobbling home.
