Reflection Section W4 T1

This week we had to write about a book that we have read this week. My book is called Bone, The Great Cow Race. 

 At the start of the book the main character Fone Bone. Talks about the great cow race then some rat creatures that live in the forest. Then he starts walking around the market with his friend. They go to go buy some honey. They don't end up getting honey so Fone Bone goes and gets some. When e gets back he'd been stung a lot But his friend doesn't need it anymore. After that he goes to some of his friends which had made a cow suit and enters it into the race. Then Fone Bone goes to the go's to the forest while his friends go and open a betting table for the race. After that the race starts and Fone Bone gets chased by rat creatures and ran right to the race. The creatures started attacking the cows and the people in the suit. After that the people in the cow suit had to rebuild someone's barn.

Slaves

For past few weeks we have been learning about slaves, how they tried to escape and there lives. Slaves would sing songs called spirituals. Most of the time these songs would have secret meanings like escaping.These songs were sang at thing called bush meeting which were basically churches for the slave Harriet Tubman helped thousands of slaves escape through secret tunnels. She was an ex slave who used music to transmit messages.

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.

Who are those children all dressed in Red?

God’s gonna trouble the water.

Must be the ones that Moses led.

God’s gonna trouble the water.

This was a part of one of the songs she sung. The hidden message was go through rivers so dogs cant track your scent. This stuff is still significant today because of the black lives matter and black civil rights movements. They use slavery as points in their protests. This music also influenced just about all of the music genres.

Here is a map that I made showing the slave trade triangle, what happened to the slaves and the escape routes.
