William H. Armstrong

Sounders who received the Newberry medal and recognized as a breakthrough event for children's literature trace the sadness and long-standing belief of poor African-American boys in the south of the 19th century. The boy's father was a tenant, and he was struggling to support the family even in difficult times. Both night and night, he and his big raccoon, Sounder, returned without power. Then one day, he succeeded in returning home. Unfortunately, this happiness is short-lived: an angry sheriff and his agent took the boy's father to take the child to jail to steal a pig. The snore vocalist disappeared. An angry and humiliating boy has only to start a difficult transition to adulthood. He learned to read and started learning more with this skill. The detector finally came back - thin and abused, but still invested - the hope of the boy is also true. There is nothing to change the difficult reality of the past, but he gradually relies on his own resources and finds the courage to move towards the future with courage. Well, like the first writing, Armstrong's powerful and beautiful story resonates with the reader and will keep in touch with them over the next few years.

William H. Armstrong grew up in Lexington, Virginia. He graduated from Hampton - Sydney University and completed his postgraduate work at the University of Virginia. He taught 52 years of ancient history and technique of study at Kent school. As an author of more than a dozen books for adults and children, he acquired Sounder's John Newberry sound in 1970 and was awarded honorary doctorate from Hampton - Sydney University in 1986. A tall man stood at the edge of the pouch. The roof is hanging from two rough pillars, almost closing the gap between the head and scorpion. Dimmer light from the cabin window casts long and identical shadows from people and pillars. The boy stood near and was trembling in a cold October breeze. He was walking up and down the wide crown of a raccoon dog named Sounder.

Armstrong was born in New Orleans on August 4, 1901, was born by Mary Albert and William Armstrong. Albert is from Boutte, Louisiana, and gave birth at home at the age of 16. William Armstrong gave up his family shortly afterwards. About two years later, he had a Beatrice "Mother Lucy" Armstrong daughter brought up by Albert. Louis Armstrong was brought up by her grandmother until she was five years old and sent back to her mother. He spent his youth in a rough community called the battlefield. At the age of six he went to Fiske Boys School who accepted black children at the New Orleans apartheid system. He did some strange work for the Lithuanian Jewish family Karnoffskys. When selling coal in a story building, he listened to groups playing music with bands, household items. He heard that the band's early jazz sounds are playing in brothels and dance halls like Pete Lara played by Otif.
