T-S:

The Proudest Blue reminds me of when I saw some people wearing hijabs getting bullied and how they have a hard life at school and in adulthood. Asiya is bullied because she wears a hijab, this mainly happens because people don’t know about her culture.

T-T:

This text reminds me of books and movies where the message is to believe in yourself and be who you are. They always have a hard life in the beginning and take in all the bad messages. Later in the text/movie they learn to drop those messages and be themselves. They don’t care about the bad messages about thier culture. E.g. Suri’s Wall because the little kids were scared from Suri and bullied her because she was different like Asiya is bullied for wearing a hijab.

T-W:

This text reminds me of cyber bullying because it relates to bulliying. Usually cyber bullying is because of someone’s culture like Asiya is bullied of her culture wearing hijabs as soon as they get into high school.

The proudest blue reminds me of suri’s wall because even when Asiya was being teased by the boys, she kept smiling. I made this connection because when suri saw the war, she told the children that it was a beautiful sight so that the children would not have to see the cruel world beyond the wall.

Asiya’s mother gave her advice about mean comments and how to react to them.

On the last page of the book the proudest blue, it had an authors note that explained how she was bullied for wearing a hijab. That means many girls have been teased for their religion.

The sentence, "some people won't understand your hijab" made me think about the book Common Wealth. The author of Common Wealth believes that "on the outside we may different, but inside we are the same". This message of "unity, not hate" is a common theme between both books.

I made a text-to-self connection when I read the words, "I need to give her another hug. I need to see her smile". I remember looking around the playground for my older brother, when I was in primary school. Finding him, and seeing that he was okay, made me feel safe and loved when I was having a hard day.

I made a text-to-world connection when I read the words "someone laughs...pointing at Asiya". It made me think about racism, and how it is still common. I feel sad and angry that many Australians still hold racist views. At the same time, I am hopeful because I believe younger generations are more accepting of differences and recognise it is a strength.

This book reminds me about the book “when we say Black Lives Matter.” Because all the people in that book got discriminated just like the proudest blue. The girl with the hijab got bullied by other year 7 people. The year 7 said “I’m going to take that table cloth off your head.” This made me think if this is happening right now and if people are getting bullied this really needs to stop.

T-T-W
This connection also connects to my T-T-T connection because people get discriminated or hurt by people because they are wearing hijabs. This reminds me of when people were protesting for black people and they didn’t get to do the same thing. Like needing to go to the tennis court only when there is no one there. This makes me feel embarrassed for the people who did this and made black people have not got the same right back then.

My text to self connection is that a lot of people at school were hijabs. This happened through my life at school. During year 1 and 2 and finally now. I think it is great that they were hijabs because it’s apart of there family culture. What I don’t get about their hijabs is, why do they hide their hair with them? Another question it that, does it give good luck to the people who wear them and what is the history with the hijabs?

When ‘The Proudest blue’ says “I’m gonna pull that tablecloth of your head” this reminds me of the book ‘Common wealth’ when Common wealth says ‘ wealth built on lands, stolen from our hands, yet we have no wealth for our toil’ because in both texts someone is stealing something from someone, for example the proudest blue, the boy says ‘I’m gonna steal that tablecloth of your head’ and in the Common wealth it says that ‘wealth built on lands, stolen from our hands’. When in the proudest blue it says ‘I will steal that tablecloth of your head’ makes me disappointed and ashamed that people can be so negative to different races, and discriminate them so badly.

TtW: I can the book “THE PROUDEST BLUE” to the world because well the book was about discrimination ( I know this because, the boy was discriminating against Asiya by offending there religion ) and discrimination still happens. This makes me feel hopeful that times are changing and discrimination will cease to exist.

TtT: I can connect the book “THE PROUDEST BLUE” with “ COMMON WEALTH”  because the book the theme of the “proudest blue” matches “ COMMON WEALTH” ( both the themes are” being different is ok, that is not an excuse to discriminate ”).  This makes me infer that both the authors are similar.

The quote “don’t carry around the hurtful words that others say.
Drop them. They are not your to keep.” This made me think of another text, common wealth. It connected to each other because in the common wealth book, it persuaded everyone to change some things and respect black people better. They just got treated differently because of their skin and religion.
The hurtful words, Asiya didn’t listen to them, she didn’t care about those words and ran away. It tells you not to keep those rude words. Asiya was teased because of her hijab. Lots of people are treated badly because of their skin and religion and this needs to stop.

When Asiya has her first hijab it reminded me of when I wore my first kimono.

TTT

This book reminded me of a book called my kimono a book that was a bit different but very similar. The story was about a girl getting her first kimono from her grandma but her older sister and classmates laughed at her because she wore a kimono.

TTW

This book reminds me of people around the world that are getting made fun of because they are wearing something in there culture that not many people wear that aren’t from there culture.

Text to self: In this book, faizah’s older sister gets a hijab for the first time. They were both excited because she had never worn one before, This reminds me when my sister first was going to start school and I was in kinder garden I was excited for her.  Faizah’s  older sister even starts a new high school like I started a new primary school!

Text to text:

In the text, Asiya (faizah’s older sister) starts a new high school. Many movies and books  have introductions, middles or conclusions of someone moving to a new school. Some examples are: The Baby sitters club and Goosebumbs- the ghost next door. (There’s more but I won’t write them all.)

Text to world:

In ‘the proudest blue’, Faizah is standing in a line and everyone around her all look different because of there culture. All over the world there are different cultures and countries like Spain, Australia, India, America, Asia and more!

In the book when the little sister wants to give the big sister a hug reminds me of when my sister was in prep and she would always want to come up to me and give me a hug at playtime or eat lunch with me.

T-T-T

This book reminds me of the book when we say Black Lives Matter because they are both saying something that relates to what you look like it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside because that doesn't show what type of person you are.

T-T-W

This  book shows how rude people all around the world can be to people that they don’t even not just  judge on what they look like or what they're wearing when really it’s your actions that matter and being nice to everyone.

In the proudest blue I made a text to self with the quote “ don’t carry around the hurtful words that others say. Drop them. They are not yours to keep” as her sister gets called hurtful words and I feel connected with this as if I’m in a bad or sad mood. My mother is always by my side and tries her hardest to keep me happy.

T-T-T

It reminds me of the why we say  Black Lives Matter book as it has these mini quotes and images to represent how it feels to be like or in this person’s perspective. It also reminds me of why we say Black Lives Matter as it’s showing , if they look different that doesn't mean they can’t do everything. I connected after the quote “ asiya’s hijab isn’t a whisper. Asiya’s hijab is like the sky on a sunny day. The sky isn’t a whisper. It’s always there, special and normal.”.

T-T-W

This book reminds me of how people treat others because of their differences and the racism included in this world. I felt this after a boy said “ I’m going to pull that tablecloth off your head!” Which would be very disrespectful to their culture and religion. The world is full of these people so I thought that as soon as I heard that comment.

This book reminds me of when I was in prep and I would always look for my buddy at play time this reminds me of the book when it said “I need to give her another hug I need to make her smile”

T-T-T

This book reminds me of the book when we say Black Lives Matter because it conveys the message even though everyone looks and acts different and are all the same.

T-T-W

This book reminds me of how there is a lot of racism still here and how people can be so rude and how much some people judge others.

In this school i have seen a lot of kids that where them. I  personally think they would be very comfortable. They would be warm on a cold winter day.

Text to text
This book is similar to the book when we say Black Lives Matter  because Asiya is being bullied because of religion and in Black Lives Matter they are getting bullied because of there skin Color.

Text to world
This is happening in the in the world Quite often just because of there religion and skin Color. Feel really really sorry for them truly.

Text to text the proudest blue book reminds me of when Black Lives Matter because people bully others because of what they are wearing background or what skin colour you are. So that reminds me of Black Lives Matter because black people suffered the same thing asiya hijab and black peoples skin colour.
Text to world
When asyia gets bullied about what she is wearing, that reminds me of racism and people being insulted bullied and assaulted just because they have different background and different background and what they wear and not having the same rights

Text to self when Faizah gets bullied she walks away and that reminds me of when I get bullied and I walk away as well.

I can connect to this because sometimes when my mum tries to pick out something pink I always go for the blue and green stuff. I made this connection from the first page it says “ Mama holds out the pink. Mama loves pink. But Asiya shakes her head. I know why.”
T-t-T
In a book I read it said this “ The dress Lavinia made was the proudest blue.” This was from the Lettie Stories. I got this from the title.
T-t-W
The world has many different cultures. Some have festivals. Others have feasts and get presents. Or some people wear bright and colourful clothing like hijabs or skirts. Some people might believe in different gods. This was from the page where Asiya gets teased.

T-T-S When the years 7 boys were saying slurs to Aiysha like “I’m gonna rip that table cloth of your head” made me feel sad and angered at how bullying and disrespect is all through community’s in the world. It reminded me of how shallow and careless people can be to others.

T-T-T reading this book reminded me of the book “when we say black lives matter” because just because people are different doesn’t mean they aren’t as good as the people that aren’t different.

T-T-W when I finished reading this book it reminded me of people that want rights and protests were common about that topic.

tts-
this book reminds me of the other people that wear a hijab and how people should respect people who wear them. it also reminds me of racism and how some people bully muslims. (some Chinese make muslims do things that are against their religion)

ttt- this book reminds me of the book Black Lives Matter because they both have the same story line in a way.

ttw-
this book reminds me of how racism is sadly still going and how the news sometimes talked about it and the george floyd incident.

In the book we’re it says “I need to give her another hug, I need to see you smile” reminds me when my sisters started prep I would have to meet her at the class room door and I think they would feel a similar way.

T-T-T

This book reminds me of When We Say Black Lives Matter because they both tried to get the point across that it doesn’t matter what you look like we all are the same on the inside.

T-T-W

This book reminds me of how much words can hurt and the saying “sticks and stones my break you bones but words don’t hurt me” isn’t true. As well as how strong people are like when it says “Asiya hijab isn’t a laugh Asiya hijab is like the ocean waving to th sky it’s always there, strong and friendly”.

This book reminds me of when i went to Moomba and i had saw a lot of girls wearing hijabs. Also how i would normally see hijab wearing ladies when i like go to the shops or something.

T-T-T
This books reminds me of the book when we say Black Lives Matter. Because its also kind of about racism also how people arnt treated fairly.

T-T-W
This books reminded me of when the Black Lives Matter protest happened. When people were not that respected or treated equally. People weren’t wanted just because they were being themselves.

when the book said  'i need to give her another hug, i need to smile’ it reminded me of when my older sister was in this school i used to sometimes follow her around the school and talk to her when i didn't feel the best and it always made me feel better.

T-T-T

it reminded me of the book ‘the rabbits’ when it said ‘some poeple wont understand our way of life.

T-T-W

when it said “don't carry the hurtful words around, they don't belong to you” it reminded me of how a lot of people suffer from discrimination in the world and how they are a lot of protests or organisations.

The part where Faiza pretends to be a princess reminds me of my own childhood because when she draws herself and her sister as princesses having a picnic I can remember myself also drawing myself as royalty.
T-T
This book reminds me of the book Wonder(even though I’ve never read it) as by judging by the title I can conclude that both texts include children who are singled out by their looks. The boy in Wonder is judged by his only eye and Isaya has a hijab.
T-W
This book reminds me of all the racist people in the world who discriminate other people with religious beliefs. One of those racist people I can think of is Hitler as he killed the (Jews I think) because of their beliefs. I have never met anyone like this (and I’m glad I haven’t) in real life but I have heard of them.
