  13. Reading Response • 1. pages 48-49,The way it says the slaves would lose family members makes me sad. I can relate that to the Hunger Games book, when the kids are being picked for the reaping they lose family members. • 2. page 39, The way they would sell slaves makes me angry, it reminds me of the auctions they have when they sell cars. • 3. page148, The way it talks about the KKK reminds me of the way Hitler thought About the perfect race and would kill Jews ,just like the KKK hates African American people.
