chapter 1 introduction :

                     The beginning of the story is very clear, meaning the readers can already know what the author wants to talk about in the book. The author had already mentioned several situations which have taken place in her life, and i think she mentions these situations because she wasn't affected by the things that were done by the people she knew. Meaning now she is openly telling the readers about all her situations which took place in her hometown, which were influenced by her family. The author also wants the readers to know that she had a part in the history of prince Edward county, mainly because her family had a major part in it. Prince Edward county was a school for only white kids. After reading the first few pages i can conclude that the beliefs of people in farmville, virgina are towards racism in a major way.
