Avery,
ReplyDeleteYou seem to get the overall idea of the book. However, more specific detail is needed in your synopsis. Fransisco, the poet slave is not an African American but a Cuban who was born a slave. His owner released his parent but decided to keep him because of his great talent to recite poetry. That is why she uses him to entertain her friends. Since she enjoys him so much that is why she forces him to call her mama.
Let's conference in our next class about your book.
