Sample of Chapter Summary for Chapter 1
In chapter one we are introduced to the Logan family, which includes Stacey, Cassie, Christopher John, and Little Man. They are poor sharecroppers living on their own land in Mississippi. They walk several miles to each day to an all black school, and are often harassed by the driver of the bus taking the white children to school.
On the first day of school, the children receive old, dirty books that have been discarded from the white school. Little Man protests and Cassie supports him. The Logan’s mother, Mama, is a teacher at the school. To save the students from the insult of the textbooks, she pastes plain paper on the inside covers of the books.

In this chapter, Papa brings Mr. L.T. Morrison
home to live with the family. The children do not understand why Mr. Morrison is there, but the author provides ample clues to explain his presence, what are the clues?
Discussion
![Page 12: By Mildred Taylor. Based on the yesterday’s activity in the media center, what do you think would be the most difficult thing about being a sharecropper?](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d37c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
On page 37, Mama says, “…we’re glad to
have you here…especially now.” The children then “wonder about her last words.”
At this point in the novel, Mr. Berry has been attacked and burned, and tensions are high. Mama fears forthcoming violence. She is grateful for Mr. Morrison’s strong presence.

Cassie states, “Papa ain’t never brung nobody
here before.” (Pg. 38) This indicates that there is no precedent for Mr. Morrison’s arrival. There must be a reason for his being there.

Cassie asks Stacey, “…you think
it’s cause of them burnings?” (Pg.
38) Here Cassie makes the critical connection between impending danger and the arrival of this impressively strong man.

EQ: How does Mr. Morrison represent an extended metaphor?
Mr. Morrison

In the passage below describing Mr. Morrison, the
author uses an extended metaphor.
“The man was a human tree in height, towering high above Papa’s six feet two inches. The long trunk of his massive body bulged with muscles, and his skin, of the deepest ebony, was partially scarred upon his face and neck, as if by fire. Deep lifelines were cut into his face and his hair was splotched with gray, but his eyes were clear and penetrating.” (Pgs. 34 – 35)

is the comparison effective?

Fiction Organizer
When you are reading something short – say a poem or magazine article – it’s fairly easy to keep it all in your mind at once. But when you’re reading something long, you’ll have to work a bit harder at remembering what’s there.
Use an organizer to collect all of your ideas and information.
