On page 5 Rose Lee showed characterization. She saw that a nine year old boy, was being chased by Rickey in a big truck. Rose Lee didn’t know what to do, but she felt bad for the little boy, so she had to do something about it. So she decided to show her character traits, by throwing a big rock at the truck.  That shows that she is a brave girl, that’s wants to help others. That is exactly what she did, she helped the little 9 year old boy. Also, she was brave when the truck with Rickey and his friends came over. She didn’t run, she wanted to run, but she felt to stay there and not run. But she was definitely scared when Rickey throw a bottle of Tabasco at her, and the bottle missed her.  But that shows what king of person she is, she wants to help people that are in danger, and it shows that she is brave and loyal.

This makes the reader understand what kind of person Rose lee is.

Internal conflict:

Internal conflict is shown on page 4. “That night, I cried when I couldn’t sleep with Mama. She had the watermelon wrapped in a blanket and wedged against her bosom. From that day on, whenever I wanted her to hold me, she held that watermelon instead. I was convinced she loved the watermelon more than she loved me.” Internal conflict, because she is fighting the fact Mama loves the watermelon more than her.

The theme, injustice, is shown when Ricky is threatening Rose Lee. Another literary device is external conflict. The quote states, “Tobacco juice spewed in every direction. The quartet in the pickup hooted, and Ricky gunned the engine. ‘Next time it’ll be a bullet, you coon” (Jackson 7). This makes the reader feel sympathetic for Rose Lee because she is being threatened by Ricky. This is important because it shows and brings awareness about the injustice during this time in 1950, Mississippi.

# data[].attributes.body
Suspense:

Suspense is shown on page 42: “Black, pulsating dots flashed around me as Hallelujah’s next words floated to my ears: “pickup ... shotgun ... head ...” Dead.” (Jackson 42):

What Does the Reader Think:

This quote makes feel nervous because it makes Rose Lee feel dizzy about Levi’s death.

Importance:

This quote is important because people of color suffer a sever consequence for trying to vote. Most times this involve death in this time period. This tells us people of color can’t vote yet. This also shows there is injustice for people of color.

On page 16 Rose Lee was telling that her mom was tough. “ She’d as soon give any one of her fourteen grandchildren a taste of the backside of her hand if we just smiled too long.” This is telling us that Rose Lee’s mom is really tough and she teaches any of her children or grandchildren a lesson.

Chapter 4.
Internal Conflict is shown on page 34 when Rose Lee thought. God said ‘’Take a great big bucket and fly over to the sun. Fill that bucket with as much heat as it will hold; then go to Stillwater, Mississippi, and pour it over a girl named Rose Lee Carter. Then bake her. Bake her real good, until she learns not to complain so much,’’.-This quote is significant because it shows that Rose Lee is sick of being over worked. She is also getting irritated because of how much it hurts.

This makes the reader feel sympathy for Rose Lee.

Rose Lee is characterized as resilient when she thinks, “But even with my impending heat stroke, I felt I had a right to complain just a little bit after what Ma Pearl did that morning” (Jackson 34-35).
This makes the reader feel sympathetic because this quote shows how much work she puts into one day and is being casual about her work load. The reader starts to understand that Rose Lee has to deal with things like this quite often even if they get stressful because of how she acts. The most important part of the quote is when she thinks, “I felt I had the right to complain just a little bit” because this is part of the quote that specifically mentions how ordinary it is. Even after suffering as much as she has Rose Lee still thinks that she only deserves a little sympathy. She is working hard in the hot sun while having a rough morning and still she doesn’t complain very much. With this characterization it shows that deeper into the story when there is a problem Rose Lee will be able to push through it. It also explains her reactions to certain complications and how she deals with them.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 32 Ma Pearl said “ A Negro ain’t got the right to do nothing ‘cept live free and die”. After the quote Rose thought to herself “ Live Free? When We couldn’t even walk down the Road Without be chased by a peckerwood in a pickup.” This represents Injustice because  they only have two things to do in life and they can’t even do that ( We did not get to finish)

# data[].attributes.body
On page 4 Rose Lee is talking about Ricky and how he shows external conflict in Midnight without A Moon. “He chased a nine-year old boy named Obadiah Malone straight  into the woods and all the way to Stillwater lake with the rusted - out piece of junk only a few days before.” (Jackson 4). This shows how Ricky treats people of color. This is important because it shows a characterization of Ricky and how he might acted in the future towards people of color.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter one, Ma Pearl talks to Mama and shows us some of her characterization: “‘Hush, chile,” she said. “Save yo’ strength for pushing”’(Jackson 4). This quote helps the reader by explaining Ma Pearl’s sweetness. It also tells us that there is a warm sense of caring and love. We readers can now see that she can be gentle and kind. This also shows us her southern dialect. It could even be categorized as showing the mood. As for a suggestion to the theme of this novel, I would say family or belonging. Later on in the story, Rose Lee misses this kind sweetness.

Quote:
“I remember mama stretched out on the bed, flat on her back, her body was stiff like a board.”
(Williams 1)

Theme:
Expression

Importance:
This quote shows Rose’s mom being stiff and in bad shape. The quote also shows what Rose thinks of her mom.

Literary devices:
Characterization, internal dialogue and sensory imagery

Characterization:
This quote shows how Rose characterized her mother and put her perspective.

Internal dialogue:
Rose’s perspective is that her mom is stiff and expressing how her mother is going through getting out of bed.

Sensory imagery:
This quote shows how Rose is using her eyes to interpret what her mother is going through.

Personal opinion:
I think that this quote is showing Rose and her mothers interaction and is a perfect introduction to the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Sensory imagery is featured when Rose Lee angers Ricky: “In a cloud of dust, the truck roared back my way.” This shows sensory imagery because its describing the cloud of dust and the roar of the truck. This helps your reading experience because the reader can really jump into the book when there are details to describe whats going on.  The roar of the truck part told the reader that the truck is moving fast and Is kicking up clouds of dust (Jackson 5).

In the book Midnight Without a Moon we see the theme family displayed when Rose says, ”She was Mr. Pete’s wife. But I already knew that it didn't include me and Fred Lee, because it never did. We were Mama’s children, but we had never been invited to be a part of her new family” (Jackson 11-12). This quote is important and affects the reader’s experience of the story because it gives us a glimpse of what Rose’s life and relationship with her mom is like. This quote changes how we see Rose’s mother. It’s important because now we know that there might be some conflict between Rose and her mother later in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
“It was bad enough we never saw our daddy, Johnny Lee Banks, even though he lived right there is Stillwater. Now we would never know when we’d see our mamas face either.” (Jackson 12)

This is can be external conflict because it shows that Rose and her brother Fred have never been invited to their mamas new family and they never saw their father yet and they don’t even know if they would see their mothers face either. This can show that Rose’s mother could abandon her and turn the whole plot around. It can change the readers mind the thinking about Rose’s mother differently then the reader thought about her at first.

# data[].attributes.body
Internal dialogue is showed when Rose Lee says,
“Papa, my grandfather, said that Mr. Pete could get himself killed just by driving the darn thing” (Jackson  9). This quote is importent because it helps the readers understand that Papa really hate Mr. Pete. I think that it also shows that papa doesn’t like that his daughter is going to another state with a man and his kids.

On pg. five, there is external conflict when Ricky tried to run Rose Lee Carter over. In retaliation, Rose threw a rock at Ricky’s truck. “Without thinking, I ran to the middle of the road, picked up the biggest rock I could find, and slung it at the disappearing truck.
That was a mistake.”

On page 3, it shows the the annotation topic: sensory imagery, when Rose Lee thinks: “What I thought was a watermelon tucked beneath her faded yellow dress looked as if it had sucked all the fat from her spindly arms and legs and placed it in her stomach. Since her lips were all dry and crusty, I thought the watermelon had sucked all the life from her face too.”  Sensory Imagery helps the reader understand what the mother looks like in this situation. The quote shows how young Rose Lee is because a child that’s 1 1/2 years old would not understand that her mother is pregnant.

The quote on page 7 shows the literary device Theme, Rickey said  “Next time it’ll be a bullet, you coon”. This shows that Rickey is not treating Rose fairly just because of her skin color.  This quote is important because it explains to the reader that people treat someone different because of there color.  Also it tells the reader that you should be afraid of him. It affects the reader experience because the reader wants to show simpathy for Rose. We feel strongly that no one should be treated like this and being disrespected in that way.

On page 10 shows external conflict in the book Midnight Without a Moon. External conflict is shown when Li’Man spoiled the surprise when they were planning to go to Chicago. It says: “We finn’a go to Chi-caaaa-go.” She slammed the egg crate to the ground and stalked off, yelling, “Li’Man, you just spoiled the surprise!” (Jackson 10).This shows character vs character (external conflict) because Sugar got mad at Li’Man for spoiling the surprise. This can make the reader feel nervous on what might happen next and also quite curious on how Sugar would react afterwards.This can persuade the reader to keep on reading because it builds up a lot of suspense, and can make the reader question or wonder what might happen next.

This quote shows internal dialogue from Rose Lee Carter’s point of view.
“Good schools for sugar and Li’ Man, huh? With white children. Well, what about me and Fred Lee? Don’t we deserve good schools too instead of that haunted school for coloreds where everything in it is junk the white folks didn’t want in their children’s school anymore?” (Jackson 23). This is important because we now know how Rose Lee Carter really feels about her family and her situation. She feels as if life isn’t fair for her. Her mother and stepfather only really care about the white children and their education. She feels rejected, like no one in her family really cares or loves her.

Good schools for Sugar and Li’ Man, huh? With white children. Well, what about me and Fred Lee? Don’t we deserve good schools too instead of that haunted school for coloreds where everything in it is junk the white folks didn’t want in their children’s schools anymore? (Jackson 23).

The internal dialogue is important in this section of the book because it expresses Rose Lee’s feelings towards her brother and her not getting into a good school, but Sugar and Li’ Man are allowed to go to a well educated school with white people. This also shows how Rose Lee and Fred Lee are being treated differently then Sugar and Li’ Man by not being able to go to the same school.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 24-25 Rose Lee experiences internal conflict, and the book shows plot twist in the form of Narrative Structure.
“I spent 6 years wishing I could be a part of her and Mr. Pete’s family. Now they were heading to Chicago, leaving my life and Fred Lee’s for good.”

This is important because it shows that all she has wanted was to be a part of their family, and now she will probably never see them again. This has significance because now she feels defeated that they are leaving forever, and she will never be a part of their family. Also it shows the reader that her mom does not care very much for her anymore. This also shows the relationship between her, Fred Lee, and her mother.

This quote from Midnight Without A Moon on page 23 by Linda Williams Jackson, shows that people are not always treated as an equal. This also shows how Rose Lee feels about the situation. She sees how her white siblings are treated and how she feels and wishes she was white.

“Good schools for Sugar and Li’ Man, huh? With white children. Well, what about me and Fred Lee? Don’t we deserve good schools to instead of the haunted school for coloreds where everything in it is junk the white folks didn’t want in their children’s school anymore? When I was little, watching mama pamper Sugar and Li’ Man, I used to think that maybe if I have light skin and long hair like Sugar’s, she would love me that way too, maybe even let me live with them.” (Jackson 23).

The quote reads “ I accidentally fell when Sugar and Li’ Man ran out to meet me.” Luckily for Rose Lee Sugar gestured that Li’ Man caused this mess. When Sugar did this it created a conflict between Mr. Pete and Li’ Man. This is why external conflict is expressed on page 17. This is significant to the novel because it shows Mr. Pete’s relationship with Li’Man.

The quote in chapter 3 shows historical context. Rose thinks, “Of course, my dark skin is what sentenced me to the field” (Jackson 36).

This excerpt is showing us what life was like for people like Rose in this time period.

It truly makes the reader ponder this thought, and want to learn more about the situation.

Rose says something is off. She knows her grandma and she knows something is wrong.  This helps your reading experience because it makes you nervous for the characters. It also helps because the chapter ends there, and it leaves you wanting to read more.
