Reading Response

         Over the break i read a book called The Nigh Thoreau Spent in Jail. It was actually interesting. There is this guy named Henry Thoreau and he teaches kids in jail. He stands up for what he believes in and is very eduacated. He went to Harvard. Ηis mom though is very protective. She thinks that Henry is going to end up in jail one day because of his big mouth. Henry does what he wants and when he wants to. For example, Henry got arrested for not paying his taxes. His own friend Sam, is a cop/sheriff , and had to arrest him becasue he was arguing with one of Sam's boss.
         Henry's damily wanted to bail him out. But he wouldn't let any of them bail him out. Except for his aunt who bailed him out. But Henry refused to leave the cell , but he had no choice because he was leggally bailed out. This book is about standing up for what you believe in and that's what Henry did.
