T.M. I thought sharecropping was a good time for that Whittney girl because she wanted some food and they would share food. I wanted to be in the time of sharecropping.

What came to my mind while reading this story is how alike the boy's life and Minnie Whittany's life was back then.They both had to sharecrop. That is what mostly came to mind while I was reading this.
