There is a Mom, a Dad, Violet, Chloe, and Stephen. It is 1920. We learned that Chloe is being treated in NY. Flossie (Violets friend) died of influenza (the Spanish flu). Violet is really upset that her mom has hidden these letters from her all of this time.]]> 2023-03-20 13:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2523603404 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2525394389 Violet ran away, she brought $3.92. She is running away to NY Henry street settlement house. 1-2 years ago Stephen enrolled at Cornell university in Canada and fought with France to fight the Germans. Violet got onto a train to go to NY to live with her sister Chloe. On the train she met an old lady named  Mrs Renwick. She was an Anti-suffragist and thought that women should not vote and be at home having babies and sewing instead of being a doctor and a reporter.

They met a man named Theo Martin, he has one scar across his face and only two fingers on one hand. Violet's sister is not in NY she is actually in DC.

They snuck onto a train going to Washington DC. Apparently Hobie has snuck onto a train before. They are resting for the night and in the morning. They are being attacked by somebody who is threatening to throw Myrtle off the train but wont for 30 cents but they only gave him 15 cents. Sadly Hobie wasn't coming with them.]]> 2023-03-30 12:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2538304195 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2548829165  Violet and Myrtle have made it to Washington, but they are very dirty and have to go to Myrtle's old home called Louse Home Alley. They got cleaned off and Myrtle showed the way to a house that a suffragist lived in the lady that lived there was named Alice Paul.]]> 2023-04-10 13:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2548829165 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2557214015  Violet and Myrtle see Mr. martin and Miss Dexter and Miss Burns at breakfast in Washington. Mr. Martin followed them there to make sure they were still in one piece. He was also wondering where their parents were. Apparently Mr. Martin has a crush on Chloe 😍. ]]> 2023-04-17 15:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2557214015 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2563464631 Myrtle is making her way to the colored car in the back of the train. Once she finally gets there, she meets an old woman, Mrs. Merganser, who used to be a slave. The woman told Myrtle that the amendment for women to vote would not include colored women. Myrtle is very stubborn and determined that colored women will get have the right to vote.]]> 2023-04-21 16:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2563464631 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2565961449  Violet and myrtle realize that Mr. Martin is running away from the police, but they don't know what he did wrong. Two men called Palmer agents tried to find Mr. Martin, and they questioned the suffragists about him and accused the women of not being very intelligent for being female. The two men treated the women like they were dumb. We see examples of inequality with the Jim crow car and Myrtle being separated from her group. Another example of inequality is between men and women, we can tell the agents don't think women should get the right to vote.]]> 2023-04-24 16:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2565961449 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2567558183   Violet helps a woman that had fallen and was upset because her son died in the war and is being brought back to her in a box, Violet gets angry about the way women have to sit in silence while men make decisions that affect them. It is unequal and unfair that women are not allowed to be a part of the decision-making process. We meet Miss Charlotte Rowe who accompanies Violet from the train station to the hotel where she is staying. When Vioet walks toward the entrance of the hotel, she is told by Miss Rowe that women and men cannot enter by the same entrance, and it is unfair that women have to enter at the side of the building, as if they aren't important enough to enter with through the regular doors.]]> 2023-04-25 17:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2567558183 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2570415121  Violet is hungry and wants to find somewhere to eat, but is told she can't eat in one of the restaurants because it is for men only. It is unequal and unfair that men and women cannot eat in the same restaurant, especially given that there isn't one for women. She also realizes that the woman who pinned a red rose on her was an Anti, and she was staying in an Anti room at the hotel. She finds out she can eat sandwiches if she goes to Anti's meeting. As she listens to them speak, she learns how they are getting men to change their minds about voting on the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.]]> 2023-04-27 13:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2570415121 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2571776756 Violet woke up at the Tulane Hotel, ate breakfast, and realized that while she was at the Hermitage no one paid any attention to her, so she could hear everything the Antis were saying. She thought about how she could be a spy and tell the Suffs what they were doing. She then went to look for Mr. Martin and Myrtle and found them very dirty looking like hoboes on the train yard. Mr. Martin and Chloe had a heated discussion at first then you could tell they were happy to see each other. Myrtle is being treated unfairly and has to go to a different hotel to stay at.]]> 2023-04-28 13:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2571776756 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2573686760  In chapter 13 we see the theme " We see it first on page 154 when Mr. Martin and Myrtle are trying to find food, and they go sit at a counter. Instead of serving them, the boy working there goes to call the police because Myrtle is African American, and segregation laws and opinions at that time prevented her from eating in places where white people ate. At another place, Mr. Martin is told Myrtle can only be served in the alley, and after trying multiple places, they end up eating in the alley because Myrtle isn't allowed to eat anywhere else.]]> 2023-05-01 12:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2573686760 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2575225955  Myrtle tries to distract Mr. Martin so he won't go out and get arrested by talking to him about Chloe and hinting that they should get married and adopt her. Meanwhile, Violet and Chloe go to a pharmacy to get something to eat, and Violet informs Chloe about how the Antis think they're going to win the vote. Violet becomes very upset when Chloe explains]]> 2023-05-02 13:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2575225955 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591530174 2023-05-15 15:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591530174 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591534100  Violet, Chloe, and Myrtle are hanging out in a field and the girls are learning how to drive the hope chest. Violet and Chloe leave, go through town, and talk about politics. People are switching sides a lot and it is becoming tense. They go to the capitol and learn that 2 legislators have run off. This is important because they need to vote. (they are on the suff side). Myrtle and Mr. Martin are back at the Dead Horse Ally eating snacks when Mr. Martin gets arrested and taken away. Mrs. Ready, the lady who owns the house, tells Myrtle she has a place for her to go and Myrtle is scared and nervous. ]]> 2023-05-15 15:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591534100 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591564201  Violet has to find the two legislators that decide to "run away" instead of changing their vote. The suffragists need them to vote in favor of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. In order to find them, she has to drive the Hope Chest and it gets pretty crazy. She does it though. She finds Mr. Credwell and takes him back, Mrs. Pulitzer finds Mr. Blotz at an electric train station.]]> 2023-05-15 16:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2591564201 ah66477 https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2597594123  In this chapter, the women are given the right to vote being delayed, people are pouring into the capitol ]]> 2023-05-19 13:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ah66477/1xs28q5leyplgii8/wish/2597594123
