  13. Reading Response On page 59, I can relate to the plantation thing, because my grandfather was taken as a slave during the Cuban Revolution era. He too, worked on a plantation, It gives a great description of the plantation scene, and makes you feel like you’re right there. On page 110, it talks about the “biggest parties being on Christmas”. This is funny because in my house, it’s the same. I felt like I were right at one of our parties. On page 126, it talks about slaves escaping, meaning there are somewhat happy endings in some cases. It made me feel kind of happy.
