Ian’s Reviews > Freedom Summer: The Savage Season of 1964 That Made Mississippi Burn and Made America a Democracy > Status Update

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
