A very powerful sequel to the parole Nightjohn, Gary Paulsens countersign entitled Sarny a Life Remembered follows the life of a brave woman who learned to show up and write while organism held captive by slavery and how she served as an inspiration to her fellowmen. The story is situated during the Civil War and slavery was reaching its peak action. Therefore, the book was focus on the important themes related to war such as arbiter and freedom. Because the narrator was a female slave, the voice of the story is naturally defiant, brave, and all-embracing of hope.This is a very qualification of novels that tackle about the lives of Black slaves for it adds contribution to the wholeness of the speckle of ground. In the narration of the book, Sarny was already ninety years old. Her lifespan was devoted her struggles to unite her family, to keep her children safe, and to be able to serve as an educator to separate slaves. In Paulsens work we witness how Sarny victoriously es caped slavery and how she taught herself to be literate, along with the other slaves she was with.She was married twice and her two children, Tyler and Delie, were separated from her when they were sold as debt payments by their owner.

After achieving emancipation, Sarny devoted her time in building a school where she would teach other creator slaves to be literate. Other important characters in the story were Lucy, a one-year-old slave who has become Sarnys friend on the road, and Miss Laura, who helped Sarny mother her children.These two characters contribute significantly to the direction of Sarnys life. On the other hand, Sarny also served as an important factor to the developments of these two characters. Sarny is an amazing, informative book to read for all ages, particularly targeting the audience of young adolescents. Even though the main protagonist of the story was alrea dy in her nineties, the whole plot of the story would be educational and interesting for all young students who would read this book.There is a fair amount of racial violence and intimate issues that were tackled in the book so the readers should at least be adolescents. solely as a whole, Sarny has a very interesting array of characters and its plot is really heartwarming. It is a book that deserves to be highly recommended for it touches important realities of motherhood, family life, slavery, neighborly equality, and freedom.
