Chapter 7
I thought that this chapter was interesting in many ways. One of those many ways is when during Obama's dream he said that he was at a jail after his fathers death and he felt like the judge, jury, and jailor all in one. In this chapter he also said that he didn't go to his dad's funeral because he really didn't know his father at all. During his dream Obama was at jail were he saw his father in a jail cell awaiting his execution. My opinion on this chapter was that Obama started to pour out his feelings as well as show a different side that he has never shown us before.

Chapter 6
How did Barack's mothers and fathers first date go?
Barack's mothers and fathers first date didn't go to swimmingly. His father had asked his mother to meet him in front of the university library at one. When she got there his father was not. She decided to lay down on a nearby bench and she fell asleep. An hour later his father showed up with two of his friends and said, "You see, gentlemen. I told you that she was a fine girl, and that she would wait for me."

Chapter 5
How did Barack find his "inner" black self?
When He meets the girl named Regina and him her and a few of their friends have a rally. During the rally while Obama is speaking two of his white friends are supposed to take and drag him off stage. While he is speaking after the first time that he stops someone in the crowd shouts "that's right you tell 'em Barack." After the was done speaking the second time everyone in the crowd starting cheering for him, clapping their hands, the group that was throwing the frisbee did the same thing as the big crowd as well. That's How Barack Obama Found His "Inner" Black Self.

Chapter 4
How does Barack identify as a black man in Hawaii?
Barack identifies himself as a "black man" by saying that him and his friends that are also black are being treated like human beings by the white people that live in Hawaii. When he takes two of his friends Scott and Jeff to a party where it is all blacks the both of them wanted to leave after being there for a while. The reason for them wanted to leave is probably because they felt like that they were in the minority and they now know what it is like to be in the minority. The to of them probably feel bad for what has happened in the past to the slaves. When one of his aqnd Rays friends came up to him and Ray one day while they were sitting outside no the campus of a Hawaiian University Barack shued him away.

Chapter 3
What did Obama learn about his father when he came back to visit?
Obama learned that his father can be stubborn at times as well as many other things as well. Obama also learned that his father had gotten remarried to many other women in Kenya and Indonesia and that he also has seven other siblings that he didn't know about before. He really hadn't known his father for about ten years because his father had left his mother when he was just a little kid like a baby. When Obama sees his father he doesn't know what to think of him. Seeing his father for the first time makes him almost cry.
