Piece Based On Books Glory Be

I've read a lot of Civil Rights related fiction recently, so at first I thought this was just same the old, same old. About halfway through I realized what's different: Glory Be DOES tell the same story, but this time it's framed for a middle-upper elementary audience instead of the middle grades. Nice. There aren't too many of those out there (at least that I've come across).My grandparents had a farm in "Olive Branch, MS" which is about an hour from Memphis; I spent summers there as a little

This is a beautiful book about the personal effects of the civil rights movement on an 11 yr old girl and her town in the deep South in the 60s geared for late middle graders. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a thoughtful, entertaining, and sweet story. I especially liked the flow of the language in the book. The language was pitch perfect for Mississippi in this time period, and at times I could hear my grandmother talking. This book does deal with both the beauty and ugliness that could

Glory BeAugusta ScattergoodHistoricla Fiction208 pages A girl named Glory is an adventurous and curious person. She will do anything to help someone or something in this case both. Both Glory and her sister Jeeslyn go on adventure through trying to succeed in their life and others. The setting takes place in history of the time when whites were whites and blacks were blacks and for Glory she is still figuring that out. In life there is times that seem hard and times that seem easy but for Glory

I'm going with a 4 on this book, but with a caveat. Glory Be tells the story of the civil rights movement from the point of view of a Southern white 12 year old girl, Glory. She's a great character and one that plenty of upper elementary children will find relatable. She's struggling to sort out friendships and her role within both her family and town. Mostly, she is upset that her community pool is closing. The reason for the closure is the town council's resistance to integration. I think some

Glory Be is a wonderfully written book about the summer Gloriana June Hemphill's twelfth birthday, the summer of 1964, down in Mississippi. Civil Rights movements have just began in Hanging Moss, Mississippi, and these movements and their effect on the town are seen through the eyes of Gloriana (Glory, for short). Glory is spunky and a little bit sassy, which keeps the story entertaining and light-hearted, while still dealing with serious issues. The overarching dilemma of the novel is the

Glory Be (Scholastic, 2012) spans two weeks in the summer of 1964 when Gloriana Hemphill turns twelve. In these eye-opening weeks, Glory becomes aware of the racial prejudice that permeates her Mississippi town. When the local pool ostensibly closes for repairs, Glory takes it upon herself to figure out the real reason behind the closing. In an act of bravery, she writes a scathing letter to the editor of the local newspaper decrying the prejudice which drove the Town Council's decision. Since I

This story brought back vivid memories of growing up in the South during this time. My own Red Cross swimming lessons were ended before I ever got up the courage to learn to dive because of a closed pool that "needed repair." I remember being afraid to go downtown because of the sit-ins; in retrospect, not because of what the African-Americans might do but because of the behavior of the Whites who were so afraid of change. This story accurately portrays that time although I didn't know anyone
