内容简介
Fiction and nonfiction elements combine (sometimes confusingly) in this look at the Underground Railroad. The introduction provides straightforward information, but the bulk of the book recounts the adventures of two fictional characters who escape from slavery, meet on their journey north, and make it to Canada in 1858. Though the author states up front that Callie, a 14-year-old field worker from a plantation, and William, a city slave owned by a merchant, are not real people, the historical photos that accompany this pronouncement downplay that point.

精彩书评
"Combining oral history, facts know about the Underground Railroad, and period photographs and drawings, this book presents what it was like for two young slaves to try to escape to freedom using the Underground Railroad. While overall the reader will gain an understanding of such an experience, there are several problems with the book. Much is actually fictionalized; the two slaves whose journey is followed and the grandmother who is left behind are not actually real, making their oral history fiction. The young reader for whom this book is intended may well overlook the sentence in the introduction stating that Callie, William, and Martha are fictional people. The "oral" histories, insets throughout the text, are written in a white person's English, not as an escaped slave would write. With today's emphasis on primary documents, these fictionalized oral histories are a disservice to young readers. The paintings do not always match what the text is describing, which again might confuse the reader who thinks they are illustrations of Callie and William's journey. Other photographs and drawings, again primary source material, are excellent and do much to enhance understanding of the people and events of the time. The full-page photo of an obviously naked male in chains in the introduction seems an unusual choice. Like the oral histories, other options were available which might better suit the purpose and audience."

我为什么喜欢在京东买东西,因为今天买明天就可以送到。我为什么每个商品的评价都一样,因为在京东买的东西太多太多了,导致积累了很多未评价的订单,所以我统一用段话作为评价内容。京东购物这么久,有买到很好的产品,也有买到比较坑的产品,如果我用这段话来评价,说明这款产品没问题,至少85分以上,而比较垃圾的产品,我绝对不会偷懒到复制粘贴评价,我绝对会用心的差评,这样其他消费者在购买的时候会作为参考,会影响该商品销量,而商家也会因此改进商品质量。
