Chapter 4 was HUGE in terms of what we learned about the Logans, their community, and one of the main events of the story.  Take some time to think about what you'd like to discuss.  Then create a comment that asks a question.  Reply to others' comments.

    1. It's got to be someone with enough money to pay the bill. Who has enough money in their community? Do you think the Logan's have enough money?

    2. I think mr.morrison will sign but that's just a guess

    3. I think momma will or that the logans will start a sharecropping and make it fair to the sharecroppers.

    4. I think the berry's might pay for it and I also think they might be apart of this plan.

  2. Mama takes the kids to the Berry's to show them what the Wallace's did instead of whipping them. What do you think of her punishment?

    1. I think that it was a good one because moral punishment last longer than physical punishment

      Delete
    2. I think her "punishment" was fine because I think she just wanted them to like learn that their life isn't that bad since if you look at Mr. Berry

      Delete
    3. I think the mom is trying to show the kids what revenge can turn in too.

      Delete
    4. I like the punishment because it shows who the Wallaces really are and how they really treat people. Plus that will make them not want to go there anymore.

      Delete
    5. I like the punishment because she is showing them what the wallaces did and how bad they are.

      Delete
    6. I think it was a good punishment because it shows them what happens if they do something bad what white people will do to you.

      Delete
    7. I think that she should have wipped and takened them there.

      Delete
  3. I would like to disguss why they burned the berry's what did the berry's do to them

    1. THey burned them becasue they were succesful african americans.

      Delete
    2. I think that the Berry's didn't do anything to them I think they just wanted someone to harm for a silly reason.

      Delete
    3. i think they were doing it to show dominance over the community

      Delete
    4. I think the Wallaces are part of the KKK.

    1. I think they might stasrt share croping

      Delete
    2. I think that they will get someone to sign so that they can shop at the Vigesberg store and Mama would go and get the stuff they need. But would the KKK come for them because they are telling people that they can get people to sign for them??

      Delete
    3. Do you mean start. And yea I think the same.

      Delete
    4. I think they are going to start sharecropping that is fair.

    5. I think they will sign it just to get done with the problem and they have more money then most of the people in the community.

      Delete
  5. I want to know who people think will pay for the credit on sharecroppers

  6. Mama tells Mr.Turner that she could get someone to back hs rent and shop at another store for him. How is Mama going to pull of getting everyone to boycot the Wallace store?

    1. I think that she will. Do you mean his or is it hs.

      Delete
    2. I think that Mama will get someone really nice to sign for the people and then Mr.granger will have to give everyone their money.

      Delete
    3. She is connected because she's the teacher - so she knows everyone. Maybe they know some whites too because they own land?!?!?

      Delete
    4. I think mama will do what she did to tell everyone not to go to the wallece's. She'll just ask some of the family's to join in and sign it.

      Delete
  7. Mama went around asking people to boycott the Wallaces store. Do you think if the Wallaces find out it was her that was telling people to boycott that they will do something to her?

    ReplyDelete

    1. She is in huge danger. They already want to do things to the Logans. What will happen if they find out it's Mama? This might be where the Logan's get their revenge thing from!

      Delete
    2. I think they probably will hurt them or it will just make them even more mad and do something worse

      Delete
    3. If they find out that the Logans started the boycott, the KKK would come after them especially because they are already after them.

      Delete
    4. I think that they will burn her and like the night mem was like the last worrying before they burn them.

      Delete
    5. to Ms DeVries: so are they kkk members, because aren't they afraid of getting caught or do they think they are above the law?

      Delete
    6. I think might kill them.

      Delete
  8. Mama was talking to Mr.Terner about how she has been going to Vigisberg to get her food and clothes and other things. How do you think Mama will find someone to sign for Mr.Terner and maybe other people?

  9. I want to know who signs for Mama and if she's going to get the same person to do it for him. It sounded like she had an idea, but we don't know what. What do you think that she's going to do?

    1. The Logans own land. So, what would happen is if they couldn't pay their bill, the store could take their land. BUT I think the Logan's pay cash. They have to use their crop money all year. Plus, Papa works in Lousiana,

    1. I think that they will. They burned the Berrys for no real reason at all. This will be a real reason.

      Delete
    2. Yeah I think they might.

      Delete
    3. I think they will find out, but the will be too afraid of getting into trouble with the police

      Delete
  11. The Berrys got burned by the KKK. We later find out that it was the Wallaces who did it. What do you think the Berrys did to deserve this?

    1. It could have just been for fun and the Berry's couldn't have done anything.

      Delete
    2. They probably didn't do anything. It's probably just because they owned land. Remember, the Wallace's don't own anything either. The store is Mr. Granger's.

      Delete
    3. I dont think they did anything they were just a threat to the kkk

      Delete
  12. I want to know more about the wallaces and why they burnt Mr.Berry? Do you think that they are a big part of the KKK, and were they the night riders?

    1. I think they did that to prove them self to be in the KKK.

      Delete
    2. I think it all ties toger and they are all in the kkk.

      Delete
    3. I think that the night riders were the Wallaces and that they are planning something but waiting for the perfect momment

  13. I liked that she took them to the Berrys. I thought it was a good punishment. It is cool she wants to start a boycott.

    1. I would think it was scary. I think they would look like Deadpool.

    2. I would feel sorry.

      Delete
    3. I would be thinking about how I would feel if I were in his shoes and what if I was the one who got burned and was still living? Like how much pain would I be in and since you're old then how would it be living the rest of your life like this?

      Delete
    4. I would feel sad for him and afraid because that could happen to you

      Delete
    5. I feel compassion

  15. I was surprised that Stacey actually told his mom the truth because it's a big thing to confess and I thought that he was going to lie and it said in the book when they were with Mr. Morrison that after he told Mr. Morrison that he was going to tell mom and the others were like what and Stacey said it's ok or don't worry.

    1. True! Would you have told the truth?!?

      Delete
    2. I was surprised too because Stacey seems to be scared to tell his mom but yet I think he wants to tell his mom so that she can help him through it.I think it is cool that Mr.morrison is there for them and makes them do stuff that they don't want to but I think he knows that if he tells his mom that things will go good

      Delete
    3. Yes Ms.DeVeries I would tell the truth would you???

      Delete
    4. I think so. Maybe not right away, but eventually I would have felt a ton of guilt and told!

  17. If everyone boycotts and then finds someone to sign for them Mr.Granger would have to give them their money then they could keep buying from other store for less and they would be able to pay most of their rent. Right???

  18. I want to konw about the walannces and if you think that they are the night riders they saw at night? and I wonder if the boycott happens will someone do something bad to the logans?

    1. I bet they were with the night men. But I think it's more whites in the neighborhood. Did you know that some sharecroppers were white? Like Jeremy's dad - he's a sharecropper.

      Delete
    2. If it does happen I would feel proud of Mama and that it was a good idea.

      Delete
  19. do you think the will burn the Logans house because of the boycott.

  20. i think that mama should cut down the trees and use the extra money and land to to sharecrop
