Chapters 2, 3, and 4 reaction

I felt that these chapters were very sad because it was talking about how the slaves were getting killed for no reason and no one was being punished for it. It also was about how badly the masters treated them but the slaves always found good in them. If i were living in that time period i wouldn't have owned slaves because they have proved to be the same as us. The colonel made me mad because he owned so many slaves that he didn't even know who they were. He would talk to them about their master and they wouldn't even know its him. If they talked bad about him, he  traded them off to some other plantation owner without telling them why. He was also cruel when it came to how he punished his slaves for not listening to him. For example, when he killed Demby for not coming out of the mud. That was a little extreme if you ask me. Why would you shoot someone for not coming out of the mud. I feel like if he just whipped him it would have been better but even that was cruel. So tonight i got EXTREMELY scared because my friend went missing, ran away, and everyone was freaking out. I was especially freaking out because i was the last one to see him so i had the cops call me and question me and all the commotion was going on and i didn't know if i was going to have time to do my homework but then the police found him and everyone was relieved.
