Answer:
Sounder tells the story of an African American boy, his family, and their beloved coonhound. As in author William H. Armstrong's book, none of the main charac- ters has a name-except the dog, Sounder.
" 'Sounder and me must be about the same age,' the boy said, tugging gently at one of the coon dog's ears, and then the other," the book tells us as it introduces this canine who is named for his bark that resonates across the countryside when he trees a raccoon or opossum.
Sounder is not a true story, but it is an accurate piece of historical fiction about a black sharecropper's family in the southern area of the United...
The boy hears his father may be in Bartow and later Gilmer counties, but the author does not specify where the boy lives. Sounder won the Newbery Award in 1970 and was made into a major motion picture in 1972.
ExplPatterned after a story told to Armstrong by an older school-teacher, the novel is concerned, in part, with the family's loyal coon dog named Sounder—named for his resonant howl that reverberates across the country-side—whose fate in many ways parallels the life of the narrator's unjustly treated father.
Answer:
That England forgot about it's previous self
Explanation:
Quote on lines 51-56 from the 'deserted village':
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied.

This book contains a wide collection of stories regarding spies and agents that have worked both for and against their country. The content here spans from the formation of the United States in the Colonial Era to the more modern day spy stories. Even double agents (and sometimes triple agents) are discussed, in addition to the straight-up stories of spies and what they did. In one of the chapters, the author explains Benedict Arnold's story. He agreed to spy for the British because he felt wronged in his career by the Americans, as he thought he wasn't getting paid as much as he deserved. Arnold spied by pretending to still be on Washington's side and then capturing his "own" fort. There was also Elizabeth Van Lew, who spied for the Union by acting as a nurse in the prisoner camp. She would then get info from gossiping spies. Rose Greenhow also spied for the Confederates by sewing messages into the cuffs of dresses she made. The main purpose of writing this novel was to inform readers of how our government obtained information in the past, and how it still does today. Throughout the book, the author explains events throughout history that involved spying. This is because he wants to make the readers think about how spying was such a big part of our success as a nation.
