Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sounder is a 1969 Young Adult novel written by William H. Armstrong, which was made into a 1972 film directed by Martin Ritt and starring Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield.The story involves a family of black sharecroppers in 1933 Louisiana (in the movie; the book does not specify a date). They are poor and hungry, stuck in a rigged system designed to keep blacks poor and hungry. The father tries to supplement their diet by going raccoon hunting with their coonhound Sounder, but they don't catch very much. One day the father brings some meat, which the family enjoys for a few days until the father is arrested for stealing the meat from a smokehouse. As the father is taken away, Sounder follows after, until the sheriff takes a shot at him. Sounder runs off into the woods, wounded.The family struggles to get by with the father in jail. Sounder eventually returns, wounded but alive. The boy goes searching for his father—the authorities won't tell the family where he is—and fails to find him, but along the way does manage to meet a schoolteacher. The schoolteacher offers to take the boy in and educate him, giving him hope to escape a life of poverty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
