Outside Reading

For my outside reading blog I decided to read the novel Crispin by Avi again. In the chapters that I read not all that much happened but there was, in my opinion, a good quote. This quote occured when Crispin was hiding in Widow Daventry's and listenening in on someone's conversation. They said, "...that no man, or woman either, shall be enslaved, but stand free and equal to one another," (200). This is a very meaningful quote because it is saying that everybody should have equal rights no matter who you are. It can be considered even more important because this book is set in the Middle Ages when social classes made who you were. For example if you were born in the lower class you would be stuck as a peasant, and this quote shows somebody sticking up for equal rights. I would compare this quote to MLK's "I have a Dream" speech because it is the same basic idea just in different words.
