Out From This Place
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Have you ever wanted to learn how hard it is to be a black slave in the 1860s? Well you need to read, Out From This Place. Easter (the main character) escapes from the Confederate soldiers to the Phillips plantation. There she finds Rose (bestfriend) who then takes her in. The next night they gather a whole bunch of slaves including Ray (the "leader") and Jason (Easters "son" who she has taken care of since he was a baby) to the Yankee Islands where they can be free. When they get to the islands they are transported to the Williams plantation to work. Their cabins are a mess but they make good money (a silver dollar a week thats good for a slave) and get to keep the land that they work on after the war. Ray teaches Rose and Easter how to read and write. Soon after that a teacher comes to the plantation and asks if Easter would like to go to an all black school in Philadelphia. To find out what happens next you have to read the book. I really liked this book a lot because it gave me a lot of insight on how it was to cope with being free and not being treated fairly. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will to.
Awesome
