- Jackie Robinson made history in 1947 when he broke baseball's color barrier. In 1949 he won the league MVP award and then he was inducted into the baseball hall of fame wall. His manager Branch Rickey offered him the chance to break the organized baseball color line, and he also agreed to Rickey’s terms, that he not respond to the abuse that he would later face. 50 years after he integrated baseball his number, 42, was permanently retired by every team in major league baseball. Robinson’s lifetime struggle continued to his last public appearance nine days before he died, he told the television viewers of an old timers game “ I’d like to see a black manager".
- Jackie Robinson played baseball because he loved it even though he knew that not a lot of people wanted him out there. He had a lot of people abusing him with words because of his darker skin color.

Anticipation Guide
- I think that the color of someones skin can not tell you anything about them or what they are like on the inside. Some darker skinned people feel uncomfortable around white people but they should feel like they belong not like if they talk to white people they will be mean to them because of their skin. When people see darker skinned people they usually think that they are bad and might hurt them but sometimes white people are the bad people. A lot of the darker color people get judged based on their color by white people and that’s not right because them only difference is there skin color.
Father, daughter, and dog
- The two stories are alike because the father and dog both died but the dad died first.The dog was very attached to the father in both stories. They are both different because in sounder the father liked Sounder always, but in The father, daughter, and dog The father didn’t like that dog at first. In sounder the father was sent off the jail but in The father, daughter, and dog the father was sick and wasn’t healthy.
