1 I wonder why they made slavery. 2 My favorite part was even though they were slaves they still danced to the drums.3 This book remindes me of the under ground railroad.

I think that they had fun drumming with there own body´s. My favorite part was when they were listening to the heart beat and that the other boy did not here it but later on he did hear it he heard the heart beat. I like knowing that they were happy but before the slaves took them they were happy before the slaves took them
