Sugar essay

Sugar is 10 years old. She lives on the river road sugar plantation. She works on the plantation picking and harvesting sugar. She hates her name!  She has been on the sugar plantations and she was born. Her mother got sick and died and she still works there. She only gets paid a small amount and lives in a small shack.  Slavery is over now but they still are not treated that nicely. Sugars dad was sold as a slave but never returned. Mr. and Mrs. Biehl's   help look after her. She becomes friends with Billy the masters son.  Mr. Will's, Billy's dad is not that nice to the workers but ends up changing his ways because he says chat times are changing.  Billy and sugar play together and share secrets. Billy's dad brought Chinamen. At first the workers were scared that they would be replaced. They ended up working together and helping each other. Sugar always wanted to go north but no one would take her. At the end Mr. Will's sells the plantation and she finally moved north With the Biehl's. I feel sorry for a Sugar because she lost her parents and had to work so hard her whole life.
