Words that create imagery in the reader's head seems to be more powerful to this generation as well. It drives the point home #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu @profverem has she really been directly criticized for her skin color? I feel like it's more underhanded Than that #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@jay_patel08 even with schools striving for racial diversity? #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@ambi_enwr106 would she be so successful if she didn't learn how to fight for her goals early in life? That's a point to bring up #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

In a world where people judge so heavily on what they see, images can be powerful tools in conveying a message. Example: citizen #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

It seems like the farther into the book we read, the more angry and outspoken the speaker becomes. #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu true. I think that proves she's not really intimidated #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu some people are just shy. She does speak out sometimes and people usually brush it off #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu it seems to me that she isn't intimidated, just irritates #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

In parts 345, is it the same speaker throughout? #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@profverem I don't think so, but racial comments about people of color usually have the worst connotations #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

When people are caught making a racist comment, they laugh it off. They were "only joking" and are blind to how offensive they are #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@profverem @quintosmsu she is hurt by the racism around her, esp from her friend. She finds it hard to believe she doesn't notice #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@profverem I didn't read the prompt correctly so yes... Oops! #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu I totally agree. It's so sad to see how alive racism still is. I think a lot of ppl don't realize they are being racist #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

Are the poems in the beginning of the book told by the same person as the poems on the end? I wasn't sure about that #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@quintosmsu I think it's a result of the household they were brought up in. These old fashioned prejudices are so hard to kill #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

I think that the two parts of the book are connected by anger because of racism. The first character deals with her anger internally #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@profverem so that can be connected to gender because he is drawn to controlling people of all genders? #CSV106

[Laura McLaughlin @LauraMcL3]

@profverem because he's marrying someone as strong willed as his mother? #CSV106
