Chapter 6
When did John and I resume our reading lessons? What letter did they pick up with? What was Mammy’s reaction? What did John tell us he was going to do in two days? What did he need before he could do this?
Chapter 5
After Nightjohn and Mammy are punished, I describe a place that she hopes exists. Where is this? Who do I hope went to that place?
Chapter 4
Why did Nightjohn say it was important for the young slaves to learn how to read and write?
Chapter 3
What happened to me when Mammy caught me writing in the dirt? What did the whites do if they caught any of us reading or writing? According to Nightjohn, why don’t the whites want us [slaves] to read or write?
Chapter 2
How did Mammy Delie often pray so the whites wouldn’t hear her? What would she pray about?
