The plot of the story Sound the Jubilee has four surprising events. First, one of the mistress's son dies at war, leaving the other to fend for himself. This causes much fear of the Yankees in the mistress. Finally, one day when the mistress can't take the fear and pain from her son's death she takes her favorite slave family and goes to her summerhouse on Nags Head, where her summerhouse is. After everyone gets calm and settled at the Nags Head house, Maddie's father, Titus, hears that the Yankees are on Roanoke Island. Last, the slave family decides to risk escaping in the night to Roanoke because of Titus's strong desire to be free. These are the four highpoints in the book Sound the Jubilee .
Sound The Jubilee is a great book. Maddie, an 11 year old slave girl, suddenly finds herself and her family free on Roanoke Island. As they start to adjust to a life of freedom, Maddie learns that all people have their good points, and their bad points. I would recommend this book to a friend. One reason is because it told about the life of slaves and most important it explains human nature. I think this is a great book and I'm glad I read it.
This is a story of an eleven year old house slave named Maddie who is getting a little excited about the roomers from the other slaves of being free. As they move to the Mistresses summer house, she begins to worry about whether or not she will ever be free. But they escape to freedom on Roanoke Island where a community is formed with three thousand other former slaves.
I remember just picking it up so I wouldn't get in trouble for not having a book during S.S.R. When I started to read, I couldn't put it down! My teach eventually gave it to me so I could finish reading it. It's great for mature readers, a wonderful book!
