I am the Discussion Director and here are some questions I thought chapter 2 was very exciting but my question was why is the boys name the boy? Also why did the boys father steal the ham from the man? How did the man shoot Sounder? I thought he shot him because he was not being friendly to the man. One of my favorite parts of chapter 2 were when the attacking part with the man and Sounder. I hope the next chapter is as good as the second.

Andrew Lococo The Discussion Director 5/6/09   May 11 The boy's name The Boy is interesting. He is not given a name throughout the story. Perhaps the author thinks a name would limit the story and he wants the boy to be ANY boy who loves a dog and ANY boy who worries about a parent. I think he stole the ham because he was tired of his family being hungry. He was the dad and wanted to be a good provider for his family. They shot Sounder because they were mean spirited and perhaps a little afraid of the dog. They also wanted to show their power over the Negro people. I am pleased that you are enjoying the book, Andrew. It is one of my favorites. Happy reading. Mrs. Suhr

And also on page 73 what did he mean when the preacher came over and said to the boy "ABOUT THE NEWS what was the news? I thought it was the news about his father. I was not sure?

Hello Sounder Group, today I am the Super Summarizer and I will summarize some important times in the chapter I thought this chapter was good but not great. In chapter 6 the boy and his mother was talking about the bible with the story of Abraham and Jacob. Another important time in the story was when the boy was sitting at the tree when his dad first move to Gilmer Country the prison camp he was lonely sitting by himself with nothing to do.

I feel bad for that boy. My dad feels bad for the people in India that go through this every day.

Nicholas Andrew where is your first job?

May 27th 2009 Hello Sounder Group today I am the Passage Picker and one of my FAVORITE parts especially was when the boy was fixing the fence and cut himself on the rim and blood came from his hands it was a VERY scary part to imagine. Another one of my favorite scene was when the boy went to the prison to visit his dad it was funny when the guard said GIT GIT GIT to get out and stay out.

Hello Sounder Group today I am the Discussion Director and I thought chapter 8 was one of my favorite chapters of the book my question was why did he see Sounder in a glass figure running and jumping when he was alive I thought he saw him because all of the memories of the story. It was a happy happy moment. Another question I have is was when he was talking about the the Lord what was he saying In the story. I HOPE YOU LIKED THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Sounder Group on May 4th I was supposed to be the Passage Picker because I missed the very first day of the Lit circle so I am making it up I thought a good and make me want to read more was when the boy took Sounder for a walk I did not know what was going to happen next. Also when the boy found the dog you did not know if his parents would let him keep the dog or not.
