Chronicle In Favor Of Books Sounder

Set in the Deep South, this Newbery Medal-winning novel tells the story of the great coon dog, Sounder, and the poor sharecroppers who own him.

During the difficult years of the nineteenth century South, an African-American boy and his poor family rarely have enough to eat. Each night, the boy's father takes their dog, Sounder, out to look for food and the man grows more desperate by the day.

When food suddenly appears on the table one morning, it seems like a blessing. But the sheriff and his deputies are not far behind. The ever-loyal Sounder remains determined to help the family he loves as hard times bear down on them.

This classic novel shows the courage, love, and faith that bind an African-American family together despite the racism and inhumanity they face. Readers who enjoy timeless dog stories such as Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows will find much to love in Sounder.

Criticism Containing Books Sounder

"I had a father and a dog named Sounder"Believe it or not, this was my first time reading this classic Newbery award-winning book. Im not sure why I didnt read it as a child I certainly read my fair share of animal books. I have to wonder if I would have felt the same overwhelming sense of loneliness I felt reading this now. I suspect I would have to some extent at least.The story revolves around a poor, African-American family living in the Deep South. They struggle to get by on sharecropping

I read this book way back in...I can't even remember which grade. Maybe 1st or 2nd grade? My school had a summer program and they'd give us a quiet hour every day to pick a book and read, and for some reason I chose "Sounder" that year. It really surprised my mom and teachers that I chose it, because it was way beyond my reading level at the time, both in length and reading difficulty, but I did, and I read it all the way through. I think I was just at that age where I thought A) if it has a dog

This was required reading for me in 6th grade. I remember it opening my eyes to racism and I was appalled that anyone would be treated differently because of the color of their skin. Just after I'd finished the book, I walked into the bathroom in the Miami airport and saw two black women standing against the wall. To prove I wasn't racist, I stood between them until one leaned over and mentioned that it was a line. Sometimes it's better to be blind.

This is the most depressing book that I have read in aeons! Endless hardship, disappointment, and tragedy. Occasionally, a mote of happiness, a hint of celebration, would beam through the grey skies, only to be stamped out with the vigour of a sledgehammer brought down upon an ant. Gloomy day followed gloomy day. Disasters heaped one upon the other. So why the four stars? A fair question. I did not enjoy this book. Did the author intend that this book should give enjoyment? Probably not. Hence,

Published in 1969, Sounder by William H Armstrong won the Newberry Medal in 1970, and was made into a movie in 1972. A family of black sharecroppers live a subsistence lifestyle, supplementing their meager diet with what the father can provide from hunting, possums, raccoons. Lately, the raccoons have been scare. Sounder, part redbone hound and part bulldog is their melodious hunting dog. His calling bark echoes through the trees and all the neighbors know his unique sound. It seems Sounders

Winner of the 1970 Newbery. Set probably some time in the 30s, this book centers on an unnamed black boy who must grow up fast after his poor, sharecropper father is arrested for stealing a ham for his hungry family. The titular dog, a hound/bulldog mix who loves to hunt with the father, is hit with a shotgun during the arrest, and never hunts again. Its a bleak tale; the boys silent rage, in which he visualizes brutal violence befalling the unjust, cruel white men who oppress him and his

Reviewed for THC ReviewsSounder isn't so much a story about a dog as it is the coming of age story of an African American boy in the depression era South. There is a beauty in the simplicity of the author's writing which imparts a great deal of meaning in a minimum of words. William H. Armstrong was definitely an author who understood the meaning of the saying, Less is more and put it to good use. I never thought a book in which the characters have no names could be so powerful, yet even though
