Continuing with the discussion we were having at the end of class...I was not able to say that...
When looking at the paragraph "She sent a letter home with me that told my parents to either cut my braids or keep me home from class. My parents came in the next day and dragged my braids across Betty Towle's desk."We talked about the concept of 'escape' and I think that escaping is hard to obtain because these characters are being raised this way, and this is what they have known their entire lives. Their parents are their oppressors too and are indirectly bringing their own kids down. It is hard to escape these trauma, obstacles and even the way of life that your own parents have taught you.
