A ten year old girl stood still and confused in front of a slowly falling casket. The sorrowful sound of her mother’s sobbing scared her. She didn’t know who they were burying but she knew it was someone her mother loved dearly. Little did she know it was a man by the name of William whom she’d come to know as her father. Her mother described him as a tall, handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes. As soon as her mother said this she knew where she got her stunning physical appearance from.
The morning after the funeral, Elizabeth woke up to her mother going through a couple of chests in the attic crying her eyes out. She ran to her and gave her a hug. When Elizabeth looked in the chests she found letters, journals, pictures, and uniforms. All by which she was confused by. In the pictures she saw a tall man that looked just like her. Who is he, she wondered. She was determined to find out who he was, but when she found out, the truth was too much for her.
She ran into her mother’s room yelling and crying, “How could you! How could you keep this from me.”
Her mother lay in bed looking at her with a puzzled look. Then she realized what Elizabeth was talking about when she saw her holding the picture and journal from the attic. She immediately got out of bed and said, “I can explain.”
“Explain what mother, that you hid my father from me my whole life! You know what, the worst part is that I had to find out all by myself after he died. Ugh! You are unbelievable!” she
A young woman converses with her mother, with a huge smile on her face. She excitedly shares details about this amazing man that she met and how happy he makes her. Her mother extends the same level of happiness to her daughter, thrilled to hear that she has finally found her true love. Moments later, a tall man walks through the door and the mother’s once joyful visage instantly changes to a more shocked and unpleasant expression. “Mom,” the young girl says, “this is John!” Clearly, the young woman talked fondly of this man, but why did the mother react strangely after getting one good look at him? Maybe it was important to point out that this tall man was also a tall black man, a man
“But that still doesn’t answer my question as to how you knew that wasn’t my mother?” said Jack. “She was there, at my door, in plain sight!”
Elizabeth’s inspiration and perseverance are extremely strong, no matter the obstacle; she keeps trying to get what she deserves. On page 1, Sylvie raises the question of why it is her out of all the children that is going on the trip. Elizabeth responds with “Yer the smartest, and because yer a woman”. This displays the level and deepness of her thoughts. Elizabeth wants Sylvie to do some reflection on the current situation at home. As they step out of the house and on their way to town, that was the passion, inspiration and perseverance, that I had acquired. I had always dreamt to be on the track and field team, and I would not stop until I was. I ran and ran but did not make it in grades 4 and 5, but finally as a result of my hard training and perseverance, I acquired a position on the team. I ran through grades 6 and 7, but during a meet in grade 7, the inevitable happened-I had dislocated my right leg. This resulted in a hairline fracture on my hip bone. Any type of movement would cause a sharp pain to shoot down my leg, I felt as if everything that involves being physically active was over. Similarly, Elizabeth did not acquire the respect she

“WHATEVER MOM GO BACK TO BEING A DRUGGIE,” I scream and run up to my room and slam my door.
Out of nowhere someone came behind me and squeezed me and picked me up. It was my brother. Me and my brother have a really great bond. He isn't like every older mean brother. He watches out for me and i love him so much. He’s like a best friend but even better. BUB! I hugged him. He let me down and hugged my mother. “Where is your father” asked mom. John looked at her and his face went pale.”He didn’t make it” he said.
“The firemen came to my house, they burned it down, I got out in time but my family didn’t” she mumbled. At this point she had been sobbing. I had engulfed her in a hug again, “A rumor had spread that I had a secret library in my house” she sobbed. I took a while for her to calm her down

She found her mother almost at once. Katherine hunched over, head down, curling hair trailing over her downcast face. Absently cowering as she perched on one cushion of the couch. She must have heard Melanie’s footfall. She casually glanced up for a moment. She was surprised that she viewed her mother as dainty and frail. She felt protective suddenly. Her dark curls knotted as they drooped wadded, and messy, over her shoulders. She wore no makeup. This was a strangers face, a faded, pale, face Melanie almost couldn’t recognize. Her mother always wore the complete line of Sephora makeup, always. Katherine barely shifted her eyes when Melanie approached her. Melanie softly announced herself by saying, "Hi Mom." She waited for a response, nothing. Her mother must not have heard her.
She then told her that she had visitors, and her aunt and uncle came through the door. They interrupted her thoughts, because their faces were red, most likely from crying. They brought her flowers, and set them next to her bed. None of them knew what was going to happen next.
Lena’s mother, Ying-Ying, began to fall apart, piece by piece, after the baby she had been pregnant with had a stillbirth. In a way, even Lena’s father had begun to fall apart - he was always worrying about Ying-Ying. At night, Lena used to hear angry voices through the wall from the apartment next-door. One day, Teresa, the daughter from the apartment, came over saying that her mom kicked her out of the apartment. Teresa returned to her room through Lena’s bedroom window, explaining that her mom will be worried about where she is but the whole time, she’ll be in her room sleeping. That night Lena heard the mother and daughter laughing and crying together and realized that she had misunderstood the voices she heard.
When the phone rang she saw a text from her mom saying she knows that she stole from her. Thinking deeply, she also had a shocked appearance on her face.
There was a parade of emergency units around the apartment. As Darlene looked around, a flow of tears fell down her face. Lynn parked and not trusting her mother’s nerves, she rushed to help her get out of the car. She knew what her mother had said about
