It would soften the frozen crust of earth and make it easier for him to dig a grave for Sounder-if he found Sounder. If Sounder was dead, he hoped no one would come along and see him carrying the grub  hoe and shovel across the field to the big jack oak. They would ask what he was doing. If anybody passed while he was digging the grave,he would hide in the fencerow. It they saw him,they might run him off the land.

On this parhagraph I was the  boy who hoped Sounder was not dead.

I love this chapter because it makes you feel relaxed and wondering what would happen to Sounder? The reader would probably want to read on and see what happens.]]> 2018-11-30 15:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dewana_dunn/h01pfveifx98/wish/309801827 https://padlet.com/dewana_dunn/h01pfveifx98/wish/310412261 There was still a faint smell of ham,but the boy missed the scent  of sausage coming up to him as he stood  warming himself.He had hurried out  and called sounder and looked under the house before he had finished buttoning his shirt, but his mother had made him come in.She knew he would be crawling under the cabin, so she made him put on last years worn -out overalls and a ragged jacket of his father's that came down to his knees.It wouldn't keep out much cold because it was full of holes.
The boy's mother put what was left of the pork sausage and the ham in a meal sack.When she had wrapped her walnut kernels in brown paper and tied them with string,she tied a scarf around her head and put on a heavy brown sweater that had pink flannel -outing patches on the elbows. She put the brown package in the she always carried when she went to the store. She put the meal sack over her shoulder.
''I'm taking the kernels to the store to sell them'', she said to the boy. She did not say where she was going with the meal sack she had swung over her shoulder. Watch the fire child.]]> 2018-12-03 14:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dewana_dunn/h01pfveifx98/wish/310412261 https://padlet.com/dewana_dunn/h01pfveifx98/wish/310418425 The mother is calm because in chapter 2 she was calm when the dad was arested and also in  chapter 3 it said on page 37. As his mother stepped off the porch and started for the road she began to hum softly to herself.It was a song the boy had heard her sing many nights in the cabin :''You gotta walk that lonesome valley, you gotta walk it by yourself, Ain't nobody else gonna walk it for you''.                 
The boy wanted to run after her.  He watched as she became smaller and smaller, until the meal sack over her shoulder was just a white speck.The rest of her became a part  of the brown road  and the gray earth. When the white speck had faded into the earth, the boy looked up at the sky. 

She had a scarf on, a heavy  brown sweater that had pink flannel-outing   patches on the elbows. 
 feel relaxed and the mother huming  just made me beyond realaxed and just made me happy. So that would problby make the reader want to keep reading.

as she became smaller and smaller, until the meal  sack over 
her shoulder  was just a white

The boy was very unaccepting to the fact that Sounder died. Unlike his mother .He was very close to Sounder . He was so sad about Sounder dying that he searched for Sounder's body, but he kept his emotions on the inside.If he was showing all of his emotions he would have burst into tears, instead he just kept strong. He was very concerned about what others thought of him. I know this because he told the children to stay inside and he hoped that no strangers would be watching. He put Sounder's ear in his pocket so the children would not ask questions.
