  1. I think the important part in this story is that they said that henrys friend is not aloud to go inside the store. I think that is important because the friend can only not go inside because he is black. I also think the book is about slivery.

    1. Charlotte, I agree that it is important how Henry could not go in, however, I disagree that this is about slavery. I think this happens many years after slavery. It is about civil rights and how people treat each other

    2. I agree with Charlotte. Because It is the main problem of the story.

    1. Eric, I think your comment is connected to Akshaya's comment because you are both talking about how John Henry is not allowed into the store.

  4. I think the important part is when the shopkeeper says you gonna eat that by your self. I think that is the important part because he can't tell that his friend was black

    1. YES! Akshaya and Madi. I thought that part where Joe's heart does a quick-beat was important because he is so nervous about his friend.

  7. I agree with all of you because I think the Important part in the passage is that black peoples do not have same rights that white peoples does. So this is why the black boy is not allowed to go in the shop but the white boy can.

  8. I agree with Eric because the important part that gave me a little shock was even a little boy can not buy the ice cream because of his skin color and that is defiantly not fair.

  9. SiEun says: I think the important part in this book is about friendship because the white boy bought 2 ice pops. One for him and one for John Henry who is not allowed to enter the shop as he is black. they have good friendship!!

    1. I agree because he didn't want Mr.mason to find out that his best frend was a black so he lied

  10. I agree what Sieun said because if they didn't have any friendship the black or brown boy would not have any frienship so the brown boy could have anything to eat because they could not buy anything to eat and probably they will die.

  12. I agree that the most important event is the part where John does not come in through the front door because he is not allowed because he is black. It is important because the color of your skin should not stop you from entering the shop. The passage is also about friendship since Joe realises that John is not allowed so he gets one ice pop for him by lying to Mr. Mason.

  13. I agree with Madi and Akshaya. Joe's heart does a quick-beat because he is worried if Mr.Manson finds out if his friend is black.
    I wonder Mr.Mason will give two ice cream if he knew that Joe have a black friend.

  15. and anther important thing is that they are friend in the different town the white people will not be black people's friend

  16. I think the important part of the book is when they are confident because if they did not have any confidence the black boy cannot go to the store by himself though he is black or a dark people.

  17. I agree with Uta and Chalotte.
    Because henry could not go inside of the store so it is not fair.
