That is a pretty nasty scar. That would hurt to be branded like a cow.
That looks like it would hurt.This looks like a very good movie, and it would help me to better understand the story of a slave.
That would be a very touching story to read. When he showed this brand it made me think of how cruel and horrid slavery was. Things like this get me so fired up and mad that a person could do something so inhumane. Is this a book because it would be great for in class reading?
