My Grandfather’s Story

Since we aren’t having class this month, I just figured that I would post a little something on what I thought about Clarence Thomas’ book that we had to read for homework. I would also like some feedback on what some of ya’ll thought about the book.

I really enjoyed this book. At first I liked Trent Lott’s book better, but once I got into this book I ended up liking it better. I thought that it was very interesting and amazing that Clarence was able to go from being a nobody in Pinpoint, Georgia to being a Supreme Court Justice in Washington D.C. He went through some drastic changes throughout his lifetime.

I liked his statements at the end of the book about how what he went through to become a Supreme Court Justice is not what should happen in America. I also like how he said that he didn’t care if he became a Supreme Court Justice; he just wanted to bring honor to his family and friends. He tried to do what was right no matter what.
