Response of The Glory Field
The Glory Field

I entered a whole new world, the scary and dangerous world. I got whipped by whites, and I lived in misery. I was in the scary slave ship, and I was in the Live Oak Plantation, and I sailed on the ship against the storm. In the journey of 375 pages, I was a part of the book. I was trying to go to the college, and I was making a speech, and I was on the trip from New York to South Carolina. Muhammad Bilal was taken to America by the slave ship. Lizzy worked on the Like Oak Plantation. Elijah Lewis sailed against the strong storm, and Luvenia tried to go to the college. Tommy Lewis made a speech, and Malcolm had a trip from New York to South Carolina.
While Muhammad was hunting a Seen-Ba, slave catchers got him and he was sent to the slave ship. Muhammad had such a hard time in the slave ship. It was bloody, full of screaming of dying people, crying of babies, smell of waste, and diseases. " ...dead...screams....terrifying...darkness..."(P.7)
Lizzy was working on the Live Oak Plantation. Lizzy escaped later and finally reached yankee's camp, "excited... scared... both"(p.61) Lizzy had to escape because if she didn't, she would get whipped by slave owner.
Elijah's grandparents needed money to live. Elijah decided to earn some money by rescuing Little David. He sailed through the storm. It was really hard. "The water just beyond the first bank was rough with breaker line running at a sharp angle to the shore"(p.108). Finally, he earned some money.
Luvenia wanted to go to the college and tried very hard, but it was really hard to make it because she was a black. She decided to open hair dressing business instead. She became a successful businesswoman. "The party lifted Luvenia more than she thought it would. There ws something in the air, feeling that everybody in the small apartment could sense, which held them all together"(p.205).
Tommy was a highschool basketball player. He had an opportunity to go to the college, but he had to follow white rules if he wants to go to the college. Instead, he made a powerful demonstration at the Press Meeting about how hard and painful it was being a black."didn't give us the keys...only the chains...(p.284). He put into jail and lost his opportunity.
Malcolm had a trip from New York to South Carolina, where the Glory Field and Live Oak Plantation were. He learned the family history.
The Glory Field is where Lam, who was the boy escaped from Live Oak Plantation with Lizzy was buried. They couldn't bury him in the Live Oak Plantation because the slave owner didn't allow them to. After he escaped, he died in the Civil War.Slavery started because of the money. Even though it is really bad reason to be slave, blacks tried to be freed men as Lam did. It was a long journey and now, it became much better like blacks can sit on the front of the bus, and they also have power to vote. I'm glad that now segregation is getting weaker and weaker.
