Advanced Reading, Writing, and Grammar

I think it is dramatic story. Because, when I read this text, Joshua, the barave man, seemed to be sincere to his “master”. But, he found his freedom and accomplished it successfully. In this scene, my feeling is similiar to Joshua’s and the author’s, although Mr. Leckler, Joshua’s master, felt unpleased in Joshua’s “betrayal”. The author did not express his own opinion directly, but I can catch his thought in some words used in this text. For example, pleasure, horizon, light of heaven, and so on. 

The author and I were sharing the emotion while I read this story. It was “Achievement”. The author drew Joshua as a hero of slaves. He escaped by himself, even his master taught him to write and read. So, this story is dramatic and succeedes in evoking someone’s sympathy.
