John Henry Part One

    There is so much meaning behind it, and we all know that makes for a great story.  The more meaning and background and sincerity shown in a story, the more you are able to relate to the readers and grab their attention and reel them in and lock them there.  This book is capable of doing so.

     Now, everyone's stories seem a little mixed up, not sure what to think about the guy in the beginning, but the meaning behind it makes it not matter.  The meaning, that, some stories says this and others say that, whether he's black or white, short or tall, fat or thin, dead or alive, he is a legend.  He is remembered and aways will be, he is loved, he is praised, he is thought about, he is a good guy. 

     The stories may be different, but there isnt one that talks badly about Mr. John Henry.  In every story, or song, told or sang, the description is what is off, other than that he was a great man.  A hard worker.

      Years later they even have a festival for him.  Incredible.  He's known as a hero.

BUT...I dont think I like J. too much.  Not tooooo sure why, but I'm thinking I don't like him.
