Status Updates From Freedom Summer: The Savage ...

This book talks about the build up to freedom summer and the events that took place. This is a novel written by Bruce Watson . We will be talking about the criteria....

rammed, struggle, these have negative connotations and show that the people are hostile and not a safe place, freedom positive, this shows that the people are fighting for racial equality

Crusade, with a Negative connotation, as words such as 'adventures' would have been more positive.
Unequal, again carrying a negative connotation, as 'different' would have been a more neutral or positive term.
Mob is used negatively as well, as we talked about in the video; crowd or gathering would have been more positive.

Whup, it has a negative connotation and it feels like beating to the reader. Hijinx also is negative and usually means like up to no good. finnaly, democracy has a positive connotation and shows the fight for freedome

Violence and brutality have the same meaning, but brutality makes it seem more serious and real.

As there are no set characters in the book, I'll talk about the setting. I feel like the main rules for living in Mississippi during the events of Freedom Summer are that colored Americans were accepting that they really couldn't do anything to change what was happening. They had to sit in submission. However, white people didn't have to struggle, and they were able to live without as many limits.

The style of the book is formal since it goes through the events that happen in the book in a non-biased way, presenting what's going on for both sides. The book uses language to show what was being said about the people participating in the movement.

So far, the author has been highlighting the amount of courage it takes for the volunteers to help, the statistics of the volunteer groups, and how to process is to volunteer.

I have officially finished the introduction to the book and it has provided me with so much information that I never knew had happened in our country's history.

This book's style is more academic because of the use of quotations and explanations of content

Freedom Summer is a non-fiction book about what was happening in the summer of 1964. The main goal of the book is to educate the reader about what, why, and how things were happening.

the style is somewhat informal with lots of slange and dialouge but still informational. the tone is formal. There is not much humor or satire. he uses harsh language to show the reader the times. not many metaphors

The style of this book is formal, I would characterize the tone as informative, the writer does not use humor or satire, there is harsh language used in this book and it shows how time was back then.

We are introduced to some of the people who had traveled to Mississippi for the events of Freedom Summer. We are also introduced to even more of the problems in Mississippi, primarily the level of violence between races.

The main goal of the book is to show that in a time full of hate, people of many different backgrounds can come together and make a difference

I think the author's goal was to reach a wider audience with the experience of the people who lived in Mississippi during the events of Freedom Summer.

I think the author wants to tell the story of Freedom Summer and the mistreatment of people. But some of the problems that might be presented are getting accounts and telling them non-biased.

The author's main goal is to inform the reader about a vital and important movement that took place in the United States when segregation and racism were still prevalent. The author has been informing me about many struggles and obstacles that the protestors have been going through so far, and what's to come.

I think the authors goal is to highlight the history of the events that happened in the south, more specifically Mississippi, and how those brutal events were sort of blurred over time. He tells us about how frightened the students are when learning the nature of how African Americans are treated in the south, that could be an obstacle by making some students back out in fear.

The goal of the author is to highlight the history of the summer of 1964. He wants to show how America was affected by this major event.

I would say he's credible since he has worked and contributed to the Smithsonian multiple times. So I assume he knows how to get sources and where to get pieces of history.

My author is qualified to write this book, as he specializes in historical writing and has received various awards for his work in this field.

I think that Bruce Watson is qualified to give writing advice, he has written for many prestigious publications and many other books.

In the first few pages of the book, it gives us a quick summary of what led up to 1964. It shows us the buildup of tension in Mississippi with the Klan and the mass beating of people of color. I like it because it makes me want to continue and find out how it ends and what happened.

The hook of this book is how in Mississippi a college came together to sing about freedom. And this grabbed my attenion beacuse this time in America during the 1960's is a very interesting time and I enjoy learning about this time period.

The official chapter of a book starts with a quote pertaining to the story. This worked for me as an attention grabber and made me interested in reading more.

It started with a story about how a white man shot a black man. It didn't tell the reason why, but it told that he got away with it. It caught my attention because it's crazy to think about getting away with murder, because the person you killed was black.
