While reading Nightjohn I learned that being a slave was hard . Also during my experience while reading the book i learned that slaves were treated unfairly by not being taught to read and write etc.

The Lesson that I Learned From Reading Night John was that I should be thankful for Reading and Writing . I Should be Thankful for reading and writing because back than the slaves couldn't read or write. Now a days we can read,write and even more !

From reading Nightjohn I learned about the cruelty of slavery and how crazy slave owners like Old Waller had no sympathy for slaves.
