The Sobrevivirs Family

After this incident, however, she realizes how cruel prejudice can be, and that it can come from anyone and everyone. Once again, she feels humiliated.

She helped them as much as she possibly could, except when it came down to the dirty part of the job. She could not handle killing the innocent horses strictly for the use of food to feed the foxes they were raising. She felt weird when it came to this, not as if she was afraid, but she described h as a "new sense of wariness, a sense of holding-off in my attitude to my father and his work" (1011). She said, "I felt a little ashamed" (1011). This was the point in the story in which you could tell that her attitude started to take a drastic change. It was like her beliefs were different these of everyone else in her family.

Mirror their words “So, as I see it you will like a life outside of school "You feel that all you do is things related to school" "As I get it, you feel that you don’t have time to yourself." "I can see you are feeling you don’t have time to yourself"

"That's different. You're just a student. You're not going to get into trouble for asking a teacher about a bad grade.You know what, I'm going to prove it. You're going to talk to your English teacher yourself. When you get home, you're going to tell me what she said. Who's your English teacher, anyway?"

“I saw it through your window,” she interrupted, not even stopping for a second. “But anyways, just, I shouldn’t abandon true friendship for popularity, but if you still hate me that’s-”

7 months in the pregnancy Anastasia grew very ill. So she went to the woods and prayed to the gods to save her baby. Knowing the queen only allowed the women to get pregnant once and each family was allowed one baby. She cried and prayed wishing the gods will answer her, she was answered but it wasn't by a god it was by a coyote in a purple cape. The coyote spoke “cry no more my child your wish is my command” Anastasia responded “I’m not sure” He cuts her off and says “You know Rosemary?” “yes” replies Anastasia ”I help her with her baby” says the coyote, Anastasia remembers the situation and agrees to take whatever to coyote gave her. The coyote pulls out a cup full of tea she drank it but by the time she was done the coyote was gone. She walked home,and when she got there she went straight to bed and slept for 24 hours. Naveen had to stay over at the castle for a week this time so he had no clue what she has done.

    She became infuriated by this revelation, mostly because she believed she was above the other kids her age. In a way she was because she could string along sentences, though she was still heavily reliant on her parents.

She was one of only six Black children to pass the test to attend White school. Along with attending White school she had to be escorted because of the White riots that were set up. That set up the split between the races. It was apparent people did not like combined race schools, but on the other hand some approached it in a good manner. One teacher actually sat and taught Bridges and cared for her while no other individual would show her any care.

The confirmation bias also affected her perspective of The Children’s Place. She created a belief on false premises making claims that were not true. She created a vague hypothesis in her mind and because of her actions it was enough evidence to prove her hypothesis to be true.

As time passed, the racial begun to slowly deteriorate. Sometimes, motherly instincts will overcome anything, and in this case it is to persuade the women to stand up to the children. "The lady who was afraid of embarrassment saw the boys jerk forward and backwards and grab the swinging guard chains…She stood up with determination and went to the door" (191). Allowing her maternal

I think she stopped herself from saying anything derogatory because she knew it would get her in trouble and that meant that her younger brother and her mother would be in trouble too. She couldn’t do that when all she hoped was to get over this and return home. That’s all she hoped, and by saying anything derogatory, that would ruin her chance of letting her father know where she was. That’s why she uses her drawings to express her thoughts about this brutal experience, being aware of saying or doing anything derogatory to hurt her family. She always stopped herself from saying mean things to Kretzky, a Soviet

Fortunately this discrimination helped her matured into a very strong-willed young

It carries concepts that aren't so obvious to the naked eye unless the reader really puts much thought and effort to understand what Saunder is trying to tell the reader. The first obvious one would be social status. Right off the bat we can identify where all the groups fall in society. Starting from the Torrini’s who in the story are very wealthy and an upper social class. Then below them, we have the narrator's family who are on the border of poverty, suffering financial problems and hard time in their life. Until the father wins a ten-grand scratch-off. Rather than spending the money wisely by covering the debt he has, he goes and blows it off recklessly on his daughter's birthday party by purchasing Semplica Girls believing he is finally on the same fields of the wealthy. Which leads us to the final status which is very poor. These were four girls that were completely living in poor conditions with families causing them to sell themselves to provide money for their families. This in a way creates a certain connection between the narrator and the Semplica Girls. As we read the story we learn that the father is constantly worried about his family’s well-being, how they look and if they are happy or not. No matter the amount of debt the father was facing or how bad it was for him to keep things in order he always reassured his family that everything will be alright. Like

She must be in kindergarten. I thought. She stumbled, and all the papers she was carrying fell. “Watch where you’re going”! She yelled, then bent down to pick up her things. “I’m so sorry”! I cried. Then I bent down too, to help her pick up her things. “I don’t need your help”! She said in a bossy voice. “Go away”! “Well I was just trying to help.” I say softly. For I am a little shy. ‘Whatever”. She says,rolling her eyes. “So,what’s your name”. I say changing the subject. My voice was kind of edgy, for I was getting impatient with this little girl. She was really getting on my nerves. “It’s Taylor.” the girl said sounding annoyed. “Okay my name is Jasmine”. I say in reply. Just then Taylor’s name was called. She rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to face me. “Well I have to go now… wait, what’s your name? I forgot”. She said in a sarcastic voice. “It’s … ”I started to say shyly. “Oh I remember now, it was loser”! Taylor said,interrupting me. “So if you’ll excuse me, I have much better things to do than hanging out with you”! So bye… LOSER..! She said in one giant breath. I started squirming around uncomfortably,thoughts piling up in my head. Will you please go already? Why are you so mean? Just shut up! Go away! Stop being so rude! I opened my mouth and tried to say something, anything really but I just couldn’t seem to utter a word. I really needed to work on standing up for myself. Taylor started walking away toward the girl who had called her name and I breathed a sigh of relief. But then she turned to me once more. “Oh and one more thing.” she said continuing. “If you ever thought you’d be friends with me, fat chance! No one will be friends with you”! Taylor finished. Okay, deep breath deep breath, it’s okay. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry in front of this girl! I thought She went to a girl who was waiting impatiently and they both walked away

Today is the day of my first day of school, and I was really nervous kids would make fun of me. As I walk into the school people stared at me with a scared look on their face. So I hurry and find my friends and concise right away. But, before more people see me and tell them what
