Jim faced his life

Jim and his story are very touching and does not hit home for me but I can imagine it hits home for many other people. The story begins when he is nine years old and then only pans until when he is eleven years old. The story does not go over a long period of time, but has a short period of time with a lot of information. It shows that young boys lives’ can be so packed full of information and can bog down a young boy. Jim is very close to his uncles and his mama, and enjoys hearing what he can about his father. I think this is very important for readers to understand is that just because a child is young does not mean that they cannot handle information that adults love through.

The story about the Panther is a very creepy story and sent chills up my spine as I read it. It was a very good story to tell Jim about his father, it is story that boys needed to know especially if they have grown up hunting in the woods. The panther or a haint, I am not sure what it is, cannot talk, unless it is an imaginary creature. I am not sure that it seems like a true story it almost sounds like a myth that Jim’s father shared and wanted to get attention with.

Jim’s mother and father seemed to be a true married couple and very devoted to each other. Even after Jim’s father died, his mother wanted to keep her commitment to her husband. There are not many relationships like that are now, many get separated in arguments or for other reasons and do not keep their commitment. Marriage is a very important thing and is very loyal situation.

“Let there be light”, I love that part of the story and really enjoyed how they talked about Jesus in the book. That Jesus said that phase and that it was about when Jesus Christ was born. Christmas Eve was the night Jesus was born and that Christmas morning was when they celebrated the day Jesus was born.

This story was really enjoyable and I am really glad that is was a book that was required for English. It opened my mind to many things and showed me that young children can be taught many things about their family history and know so much. It can harm them, but it also can benefit them to know the knowledge and be able to be a true part of their community. Jim faced a lot, and when he went with his uncles up the mountain to see his grandfather everything rushed to him. He had a moment to realize what all was going on and that it was a big amount of information for such a small child. His unless lifted his spirit by sharing that yes he is a small boy in this big world but he also is a small nephew to four uncles and his mama.
