 In The chapters of night John it is a book about a slave named John Who escaped to the north were there was no slavery. While he was up noth he learned how to read and write but he thought how the slaves were being treated down south was wrong so he decided to go back down south and teach slaves how to read and write. But by doing this it was a very big risk because if he got caught teaching a slave how to read and write he could get killed, and also the person who he was teaching how to read and write could be beaten or killed. But john did eventually get caught and he got caught in a farm owned by a white man and that is when he had met a girl named sarrny.
