I think that white people and black people shood have the same rights.After that not faire that white people can do things then black people can not do those things.
ReplyDeleteYa it is really unfair that white people can do more things and black people have to sit at home.
DeleteI kind of relate to Ryan. Back in Ancient Greece Women always had to stay at home.
DeleteI think that it is not fair that white people can only drink from the water fountain
DeleteI like how the theme changes in this book. At first the grandma is curious but then she is brave. She is brave because she stands up to the white man. It is true sh sobs but she could have run away.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that she is curious because she was doing a kind of experiment that you could fry an egg in the road.

ReplyDeleteI think grandma is worried that same thing will happen to her granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about this book is that when something bad happens something good happens too. This book is a nice book for teaching their readers what black people really are. They are part of this world.
ReplyDeleteThis book have bad part and good part that happends．
ReplyDeleteI thought that grandma was really worried about her granddaghter.

I like thinking about how the grandma keeps saying, "You can't go to town until you can do some good." When she was a little girl and snuck to town, she wasn't trying to do any good, but in the end, she did a lot of good. I dislike the part when the white guy starts whipping everyone with his belt.
ReplyDeleteI think granddaughter is worried because her granddaughter could do same thing as what she did. And grandma is also courageous because she is standing up to white man.
ReplyDeleteOne question I always have when I read these types of books is, how did the white man come to think this way about blacks? Is it his fault that he thinks this way? It reminds me of the conversations we've had about culture. Do you guys see the connection?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm kind of confused about the chicken man. What did you guys think about him? Why were people afraid of him?
ReplyDeleteThis book shows that you should never underestimate people like the grandmother did. She underestimated the Chicken man.
ReplyDeleteI like the part when the chicken man was coming for water and the black people were quitly drinking water from the fountain
ReplyDeleteI think this book is about civil rights because one white man is like the leading the group and he was like the boss
ReplyDeleteI also think this book is a bout civil rights. Because they separate people, by black and white.

ReplyDeleteI think this book is about civil rights because there was a fountain which only white people could drink in but grandma fixed the problem by trying to drink the water and a white person came and found out and she was crying and other black people came and drank the water and the white person was really mad and then onwards anybody can drink in the fountain.

ReplyDeleteI think the most significant part about White Socks Only is when the majority of black people start drinking the Whites Only fountain. It shows that nobody tells you what to do and white and black people deserve equal rights. I like this book because I think the theme is courage. I wonder who made the story up of the chicken man, I think he played an important role in the story. He seems to be as wise as an owl and makes the rights decisions.
