Social Action Reading Response


Social Action Reading Response

            In the book I am reading called “Small Steps” by Luis Sachar, there is a huge way that justice is conveyed in the text. The main character Armpit served a year at a penitentiary called “Camp Green Lake”. Every day they make u dig one hole to “teach you character”. The reason that they were digging holes was so that the evil camp director could find a treasure chest left by there by her great great grandma.

            Armpit served time because he had gotten mixed up in a fight with a few other teens because that had tripped him and made fun of him and that provoked him. He hardly did anything, but immediately they arrested him because of his skin color. I think that justice was found at the end of “small steps” because Armpit eventually became famous for saving a famous singers life.

            Overall, Armpit didn’t deserve the things that were “struck” upon him. He should have been sent to a penitentiary. Or his friend X-Ray shouldn’t have used him. Armpit ends up winning and that too me is a very big sign of justice “being served”.
