My favorite part happens when Sounder went away to heal, because, this story is emotional for readers. Especially when the father was taken away to do free cropping hard labor fieldwork. This was not fair because the father only took the ham, after the man he worked refused to pay him fairly after his hard labor. Stealing is never ok but in this situation the family was hungry, and his boss was unfair by holding his earned pay. As the sheriff's took the father away one of them used a rifle to shoot after Sounder, because he barked after them. I believe Sounder had a dog sense that something was not right so he chased after them. After Sounder was shot at, he disappeared for a long while. I think that animals do things like this because they know exactly where to go heal when they get injured. For this reason animals are smart.To be totally honest this book was a eye opening smack in the face reality check for me. Trust me, if you read this story you will realize that life now, is not so hard because nowadays we don’t have to face the hard times of yesteryear. For this reason, others should read it. I’d give this book FIVE Stars, because the story was a tear dropping emotional shock.
