Henry convinced his mother that Ribsy was a good dog and if she allowed him to bring Ribsy home he would feed and wash Ribsy. Before Henry could take Ribsy home, he needed his mother’s permission, so he took Ribsy to the phone booth to call his mom. Henry started to think that it might be nice if he could take the dog home, since he always wanted a dog of his own.Henry decided to name the dog Ribsy because he was so skinny. Then Henry told the dog to go away but the dog sat at his feet. Henry felt sorry for the dog and gave him the ice cream cone. The dog seemed to be a stray, and it also seemed hungry as he wagged his tail, and watched Henry eat the ice cream cone. However, on one particular Wednesday afternoon in March, something happen as Henry was returning home from his one hour swim at the YMCA.Henry had stopped to buy a chocolate ice cream cone, and as he stood at the bus stop licking his ice cream cone while waiting for his bus to go home, he heard a thump, thump, thump, so he looked around, and there was a dog behind him scratching itself. Henry always thought that nothing cool ever happened to him, except for having his tonsils removed when he was six, and breaking his arm falling out of a cherry tree when he as seven. He had hair that looked like a scrubbing brush, and most of his grown-up front teeth were in. There was a third grade boy named Henry Huggins.

The bean paste attracted many customers, boosting sales for the shop. Whether or not she could, the bean paste she made was of the highest quality. She turned up early and helped Sentaro make bean paste, asking for his help to carry heavy objects. He did not even want to work at the dorayaki shop he was paying off a debt to someone who helped him when he was in need. Indeed, Sentaro was never good at making sweet bean paste. Sentaro changed his mind when he tasted a sample of sweet bean paste given to him by Tokue, which was much better than the paste he bought from a wholesaler to put inside his dorayaki. Given her age and the state of her hands-indeed, her hands were malformed-Sentaro was not eager to bring on the old woman, Tokue, despite her willing to work at a lower salary than was advertised. Over time, Sentaro engages with this woman, finding out that she was a confectioner capable of making sweet bean paste. The book starts by setting the scene, where Sentaro, a man who makes dorayaki, a sweet pancake made with sweet bean paste, sees an old woman staring at the shop where he works, Doraharu. Written by Durian Sukegawa, Sweet Bean Paste is a book I struggled to put down, filled with twists and moments that made me ponder isolation, being a member of society, and pursuing an interest despite the challenges ahead.

And perhaps this attitude, held in spite of what they know and have endured, helps to explain why Negroes, on the whole, and until lately, have allowed themselves to feel so little hatred. Negroes know far more about white Americans than that it can almost be said, in fact, that they know about white Americans what parents-or, anyway, mothers-know about their children, and that they very often regard white Americans that way. “The American Negro has the great advantage of having never believed the collection of myths to which white Americans cling: that their ancestors were all freedom-loving heroes, that they were born in the greatest country the world has ever seen, or that Americans are invincible in battle and wise in peace, that Americans have always dealt honorably with Mexicans and Indians and all other neighbors or inferiors, that American men are the world's most direct and virile, that American women are pure.
