La Rue Cases-Nègres

Jose - main character - intelligent, wants to be free from slavery. Originally does not receive scholarship to academy. Wants to learn and knows that it is a privilege to be educated (throws rock at women who had him wash the dishes and be late for school). Accused of cheating. Teacher apologizes for accusation and Jose receives full tuition and board to school.When a person dies, says "They are returning to Africa"

Ma Tine - grandmother - refuses to let Jose work in the fields, wants his future to not be confined to the sugar cane fields. Does all she can for Jose so that his future will be better, even move into the capital which she hates. She is weak, but carries on for Jose, when he no longer needs her, she goes back to la Rue and dies.

Medouze - old man - wise old man. father was from Africa. Would use a story telling technique to make sure that Jose was paying attention. made an amulet for Jose, which he kept with him throughout the story. Extremely wise (could use some quotes to give example... I forgot what he said)

Leopold - Mulatre - was considered dirty when he hung out with les noirs, but was not socially accepted by les bekes. father refused to give Leopold his sur name, but gave some land to try and compensate. Father never truely accepted his son, which is sad because his father chose to marry une noire. Leopold had a little identity crisis.

Please add more or edit what I said!!!!!

Le Seconde Guerre Mondaile Et La France

Les francais n'ont pas un reason pour été avec le Guerre. Les Nazis ont frappé les Francais ou défendu. Les Francais a eu un trés grand mur et beacoup des persons. Mais la Belguiqe a refusé accepter la mur, le "Maginot Line", et quand les Nazis a défaite la Belgique, ils ont aller en la France et n'ont  dû défaiter le mur. C'est pas parce-que les francais sont mal avec le militarie, ils ont été trés bon avec ca avant le Guerre. Mais prace-que ils ont été le premier grand pay qui les Nazis ont defaité, ils ont un trés mal reputation avec le Deuxime Guerre Mondaile.
