 Today we read an article about getting your license at 16. Then we drew pictures about outer comprehension about the article. I’m 16 years old and hope to get my license and car before my senior year. It seems like the process is moving slow so hopefully I can reach my goal when I want to. 

 We read and article and this was the question I was given

 Today we took a quiz on letters 41-45 on the color purple and I failed. Then we did our one pager, I picked letter 42 when squeak began singing about the color of her skin. In the letter before she finally stood up for herself and claimed that her name is mary agnues.

 Today we did a bell ringer and it took up the whole class period. It basically talked about like how full is your glass and have I ever been I leader. I never been a leader because I never had the opportunity to lead anyone. At the end of class we started on our one pager for the color purple.

 Dear God, Never would of thought of the day that this will happen to me, especially by family. Dress all ripped up, one shoe missing, hat crooked. Harpo mad and want to kill every white person he see but that’s not possible. I said what they wanted me to say, I say Sofia not being punish enough in that jail and she worry about being a white woman maid. He took my hat off, told me to undo my dress. I start to wonder if Harpo love me for me or just my color. He called me by Squeak. I stood up and said “ My name Mary Agnes. I went to get Sofia out of jail and it’s been six months now. Everyone call me by yellow but I wonder if the roles were reversed and if I say “black girl” then… nvm, forget it. 

 Today we read letters 36-40 from the color purple and sofia went to jail for hitting the mayor and got her kids taken away from her. Harpo got a new girlfriend name Squeaky but her real name is Mary Agnes. Her nickname is Squeak because her voice is really squeaky but I don’t. think she like being called that name but never corrected him.
