THE SKY IS GRAY--A REVIEW

The story The Sky is Gray was a very interesting and somewhat sad story for me to read. 
I was very interseted in James and his plight as a young colored boy in the south. I was
very impressed with the courage and fortitude in young James. He tried his best to act
like an example for his younger siblings. He thought that he was the role model and he
acted like it. James never cried in front of his younger brother, and he never did shed
a
tear.
Also, I was sadened by the family's economical status. They could barely afford
the journey to town let alone having a dentist remove a tooth. Nevertheless, James'
mother found a way and off they went. The mother seemed to be a very proud and
hard-working person, as she would not accept any hand-outs or help of any sort. 
I wasn't exactly sure of the significance of the book-reading character in the
dentist office. He was an educated person, and so I thouhgt he would have enough wealth
to go the other better dentist in town.
