Nightjohn was created in 1993.
In the book "NightJohn," Sarny initially fears Waller because he is the brutal owner of the plantation where they are enslaved. However, Sarny begins to see Waller as a complex character when she witnesses his interactions with NightJohn. She recognizes both his cruelty and moments of humanity, leading her to have conflicting feelings about him.
The last line in the book by Gary Paulsen reads: "Late he come walking and it be Nightjohn and he bringing us the way to know."
My Class is reading NightJohn and I think the plot of it is on a plantation deep in the South! I think Sarney and the other slaves sleep in a barn or something like that, and get whipped in the spring house! (So far I have found NightJohn very disturbing!)
finish the plantation
