Summary: great book
Review: Wolf By The Ears Wolf by the Ears is about a girl named Harriet Hemings. Harriet is the slave of Thomas Jefferson, but no one ever calls her a slave. She is treated better than most slaves. She loves living in her home, but her mother wants her to take her freedom when Jefferson offers it to her. She has to choose between her family, home, and friends or her freedom, but there is a problem most free black woman were mistreated and looked down at and if she stays and Jefferson dies she could be sold and mistreated there. Finally, Mister Randolph has a solution; she could pass, pretend that she is white. She is part white and could easily pass as a white, but she has to learn how to be white. Jefferson decides that Martha Randolph should teach Harriet how to be white. Martha isn't very happy about it at first. Harriet is very excited and nervous about passing, but her brother, Beverly, is mad about her passing he keeps telling her that she is leaving her race behind. She goes with Mister Petit to Gordon's Tavern and she learns that some white people had it worst then her. When the people in Gordon's Tavern talk to her like a white she knows she has successfully passed.
I think it was a good book, but at parts it was very boring. It is a good book for people who like historical fiction. There are parts that I really wanted to skip through, but I couldn't because I needed to know what happened. It is a very good book though. I give it 4 stars.
