1st independent reading

As a matter of fact, the book "Witness" written by Karen Hesse takes different form from other books. There is no particular character as a narrator or protagonist. So all people who attend this book can be protagonist. The story is about “the town”. I realize “the town” is not specific, I read about 60 pages but have no idea what’s gonna happen next. There are several characters in this book.

Leanora Sutter- aged 12, is bullied because she is black and has no mother.

Sara-aged 42, is a farmer and take care of Esther.

Esther- aged 6, she saw something important. So I think she can be witness.

Jonny- aged 36, is clergyman. My first impression of him is crazy considering he thinks that Ester is devil and screamed at her.

Percelle- aged 66, is town constable. Actually, this guy killed Leanora’s mother indirectly. But Leanora doesn’t know it.

So far these guys have not been involved in each other because the story doesn’ take only one place. But those peaces gradually begin to come together.

There are still more characters in this book but I hesitate to introduce. Why? It’s because I worry if you can remember all guys in this book. Incidentally, I couldn’t

I think you have a high imagination which you could guess and explain all the characters who appear in the book. I like the way you explain the character, Leanora Sutter. It's so funny!
