Summary: Another great story
Comment: I really liked the story. The only downfall was how short the story was. Because of this it lacked some of the magic that Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry Had.
Rating: 4
Summary: A powerful and disturbing story
Comment: Mildred D. Taylor is a formidable presence in literature for young people. She is a recipient of the Newbery Medal, and this book, "The Friendship," is a winner of the Coretta Scott King Award. Together with Taylor's other books, "The Friendship" explores some painful aspects of African-American history.
This story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930s, and is told by Cassie, a young Black child. The conflict in the story revolves around Mr. Tom Bee, an elderly Black man who refuses to observe the racist custom that requires African-Americans to address all white-skinned men as "Mister."
"The Friendship" is a powerful story with great educational value. Taylor offers an unflinching look at life in the South before the civil rights movement. But be warned: this is a grim, violent story which, despite its title, carries very little hope of redemption or reconciliation. And a subplot involving one character is left dangling. Although all readers may not find the book wholly satisfying, I still recommend "The Friendship" as an important piece of fiction.
