I was at my first black lives matter protest. I looked over and seen all the protesters that were not there for black lives matter I was devastated. This was my first protest like marji and it helped me figure out all people are not like and me and have different views. This made me love everyone and not to hate anyone.
all lives matter
Black lives matter !
BLM
you will always have people with different pint of views.
why are they here ?
Me and my mom always didnt see eye to eye when it came to the things I do. We talked about and it made me feel good that I didnt have to hide anything and that she loved me. this was kinda the same situation as Marji and it changed me as a person.
Okay I understand
I have a different life then what you want me to live
I was in my room when my parents told me the sad news that my grandmother had died. I cried for a long time, she had taught me a lot of stuff that has stuck with me today and even became some of my values. Me and marji both had to deal with a passing of each other grandmas and even though we lost something we learned something.
why they take my grandma
my mother passed.
I picked this first scene because this was when marji saw her first protest. after this protest we later saw how marji would always go for what she loved and thought was right, and I feel like this was a big turning part for the first part of the book and molded her personality.
no veil
NO VEIL !!
veil
we want the veil !!
no Veil !
VEIL
I picked the scene where her mom asked for a cigarettes because I feel like this was a turning point where she fills loved in the story. Marji had gone through a lot during the the time she was away from her parents. she had done a lot of bad things and she was trying to hide so her mother would not be bad. Her mother asking for the cigarettes was something big and helped her know that she didnt have to hide anything and that she was loved.
let me get a cigarette
how did you know i smoked
in this part of the graphic novel i learned that the passing of her grandmother was really hard on her. when she was not with her parents then you would know that she is with her grandmother.well this passing really hurt her but she found out on how she could be the best version of her self.
