Chapters 3 and 4

Chapters 3 and 4 were really interesting to me. I was confused at first to what ethnicity Obed and his family were thinking they were purley African-American but I learned that with being that they are also Native Americans. In these chapters the girl that Obed assulted let him off and did not press charges in exchange of painting her soroirty house. I was very interested by the escape of Niccodemous and his brother. After much running around the state of virgina and having to overcome many obstacles they finally made it to ohio.Personally i would be terrified if i had to do what these young boys had to do. I thought it was really sad that Niccodemous died in the house. I find this book fun to read and i am excited to read more.
