How does the boy in sounder feel about school?

Answer 1

Sounder is a simple, well-knit, and straightforward story with a single plot line revolving around the boy growing into maturity and being given a chance in life. The tale is told by a third person omniscient narrator, with an emphasis on the boy's perspective and with simple dialogue that successfully captures the black dialect. The entire story is also unfolded in a chronological order so that the plot is easily followed by the reader.

The structure of the novel is classic in form. The first chapter introduces the reader to all the members of the black sharecropper's family, including the dog; it also establishes the setting and the key ingredients of the conflict, especially the poverty, loneliness, and discrimination that the boy and his family must endure. Hints of future trouble are foreshadowed in the first chapter when the family has a scrumptious breakfast of boiled ham, but the father cannot enjoy it for looking nervously out the window, as if expecting something or someone. The rising action for the boy really begins in the second chapter when Father is arrested and imprisoned. Suddenly, the boy is forced into taking over all the chores of farming. Additionally, he must adjust to the fact that Sounder has been shot and has run away. His life is now more desolate and lonely than ever before.

The rising action continues from the second chapter through the unfortunate cake incident at the jail, the return of Sounder, the disappearance of Father into the quarries, and the boy's many unsuccessful searches for his dad. Each event in the rising action adds to the boy's loneliness and misery. Then in Chapter 8, the boy meets a teacher who changes his life; it is the climax of the story, for the boy is offered an education, which will allow him to rise above his poverty and have a better life. The falling action reinforces the change in the boy, for he now sings in the fields, proving that he is finally happy. The falling action also includes Father's return and death and the death of Sounder. Even though the boy is grieved over these losses, he is now educated and mature enough to put them in proper perspective. In the conclusion of the novel, he acknowledges that Sounder and Father will always live in his heart and imagines the two of them walking together somewhere for eternity. In the boy's memory, the Father will always be strong and walk upright, and Sounder's voice will always be full and resonant.

The novel is further unified by several key elements. The majority of the story takes place in and around the shabby cabin of the black sharecropper; the only exceptions are the places that the boy goes to search for his father and his trips to stay with the schoolteacher. Additionally, the focus of the entire plot centers on the boy and his premature growth into adulthood; it is even the boy's concern that keeps the reader also focused on Father and Sounder. Additionally, the book is held together by the parallel between the dog and his master and by the constant image of Sounder as a symbol of human values, in contrast to the beast-like values of the white establishment.

Answer 2

The boy in Sounder feels determined and hopeful about going to school. Despite facing challenges and discrimination, he values education as a way to improve his circumstances and create a better future for himself. Additionally, he sees education as a means to overcome inequality and pursue his dreams.
