Summary Paragraph

The story begins in the dark at night. Amanda a girl is alone in her room, and she is frightened because she is hearing strange sounds to outside of her house, so she hugs strong to her doll Coey Yocks, but she is imagining these sounds because she was reading a frightened story before she went to sleep. Now Amanda is imagining to hear some strong sounds of footsteps such as creaks and crunches that come from floorboards. Shortly after she realizes that these sounds are not real.

                Later, she heard to her parents talk about some slaves that had escaped to Canada and that they could be free. Suddenly, she realizes that this event seems to a reading of a book that her uncle Oliver gave her. Then, she closed her eyes and she tried to imagine what would happen if she would lose her doll Coey Yocks, and she felt very sad because she understood that she cannot separate of her doll Coey Yocks. Later on, Amanda returns to the reality and she hears to her mother that her father went to find a job. She wishes that her father can find a job.

Reaction Paragraph

                So far, everything I'm reading I like. The author of this story has a particularity of writing the history. He starts focusing on the central character that is Amanda. Next, the author skims the story giving detail by detail. Later, the author makes the story more exciting because he cuts the sequence of the story. For example, he is relating that Amanda is imagining to lose her doll and suddenly, the author says, Amanda comes back to the reality. This sequence gives more suspense and entertaining to the story.

 I cannot give details yet about the end of the story because I have not finished reading the book.
