Violet is angry at her mom and dad for hiding these letters for over 2 years, one was addressed in 1918. We find out that Chole is her older sister who was kicked out of the house. We learn she lives in New York and works as a nurse, which is a big deal, because of the influenza pandemic. Flossie, Violet's best friend, died 2 years ago from, influenza, and Violet saw blood coming out of her nose and ears. We learn of Violet's older brother, Stephen, but we are curious to know more. Chole is in New York as a New Woman, she voted and chose not to be married. Chole wants Violet to go to college one day. At the end of the chapter, we know that Violet is angry with her mom and dad for keeping the letters the belong to her.]]> 2023-03-20 18:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2524097594 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2525880221 At the beginning of the chapter, Violet has taken $3.92 and ran away from home. She is on her way to New York, Henry Street Settlement houses, to find Chole. We just learned that a hope chest is an old-timey car. Violet is nervous to get on the train because she is only 11 years old and traveling alone. After buying a ticket and sitting down on the train, she meets Mrs.Renwick Violet tries to be polite, and Mrs. Renwick tells her that women should not be doctors or reporters but get married and have babies.]]> 2023-03-21 18:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2525880221 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2527550453 Violet did not know where her sister lived, she got off the bus. And did not know where she was going, she saw a police officer. Then she starts to talk to him, she said was looking for her sister and he said to stand by me until she gets her. She tried to get away from him and faked that she saw her sister up the stairwell then she ran off. She got bunched up into a crowd of people. She got pushed in the street a boy said get off my sidewalk get your own sidewalk.]]> 2023-03-22 17:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2527550453 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2534848541 Myrtle and Violet went to the Henry street settlement house. It had stone steps with wrought-iron railings.  At the bottom of the stairwell was a group of girls playing jacks, a woman rocking a baby in a carriage with her foot. Violet followed Myrtle up the steps to a wooden door. Violet was scared to go in because she had excellent manners and did not just want to walk in the door. But Myrtle pushed the door open, upstairs some people were singing but Violet could not understand the words.  ]]> 2023-03-28 11:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2534848541 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2537182333 Violet and Myrtle meet Hobie, who is homeless, and he shows them how to ride a blind. This means riding a train on a dirty platform and having to sleep outside. In the end, they make it to Washington D.C and they realize Hobie is a great guy and not what it seemed. The theme is don't judge a book by its cover. At first, Violet and Myrtle thought Hobie was very sus but in the end, he saved Myrtle and helped the girls get to Washington DC. ]]> 2023-03-29 18:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2537182333 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2549088918 Violet and Myrtle have arrived in Washington D.C. to find Chole. They are filthy and covered in soot from the train ride. When they arrive Violet is surprised by the neighborhood, it has old worn down buildings and small alleys. There is one faucet for everyone to wash with, this is where Myrtle is from. They get to Cameron's house and meet Mrs. Dexter, Lucy Burns, and Alice Paul. All of these ladies are suffragists but Mrs. Dexter is not in favor of helping Myrtle because she is ''colored'' and argues with the other women about it. Myrtle and Violet learned that Chole has gone to Tennesse because of an important voting session. In the end Myrtle and Violet are bathed and going to sleep. ]]> 2023-04-10 17:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2549088918 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2557393742 Violet and Myrtle came downstairs and saw Mr.Martin in surprise. Myrtle was curious to know if he followed them. Mr. Martin said he was there to make sure they were okay. Myrtle told Mr. Martin that she and Violet made it to Washington by catching a blind and he got worried. He eventually started asking where Violet and Myrtel's parents were. Violet told him her parents were in Pennsylvania. Myrtle told him her parents were dead, after breakfast Mr. Martin forced Violet to write a letter to her parents. ]]> 2023-04-17 18:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2557393742 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2559044417 Myrtle is making her way to the colored car at 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 woman will have a right to vote. ]]> 2023-04-18 18:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2559044417 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2566089925 In chapter 9, Violet and Myrtle realize that Mr.Martin is running away from the police. They don't know what he did wrong. Two men called Palmer agents tried to find Mr.Martin and they questioned suffragists about him and accused the women of being dumb because they were females. They treated them dumb too. We see examples of inequality with the jim crow car and Myrtle being separated from the rest of the group. Another example of inequality is between men and women. We can tell the agents are Anti-suffragist. ]]> 2023-04-24 17:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2566089925 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2567652071 Violet helps a woman who had fallen and was upset about losing her son in the war, and 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 and she accompanies Violet from the train station to a hotel where she is staying. When Violet walks toward the entrance at the side of the hotel, she is told by Miss Rowe that women use a different entrance at the side of the building. It is unequal that women and men can't enter 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 at the front.]]> 2023-04-25 18:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2567652071 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2572051110 In Chapter 11 we see the theme "inequality is injustice." Violet is hungry and wants to find somewhere to eat, but is told she can't eat in one of the hotel restaurants because it is for men only. It is unequal and unfair that men and women cannot eat in the same restaurants, especially given that there isn't a restaurant that is just for women. She also realizes that the woman who pinned red roses to her at the train station was an Anti and she was staying in an anti room. She finds out she can eat sandwiches if she goes to the Anti's meeting. As she listens to them speak, she learns how they get men to change their minds about voting on Susan B. Anthony Amendment. Violet overheard some people talking and they said, "Mayhew" and she got really excited to finally see Chole! ]]> 2023-04-28 17:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2572051110 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2572057547 Violet woke up at the Tulane Hotel, ate breakfast, and realized that while she was at the Heritage no one was paying attention to her, so she could hear everything the Anti 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 hobos on the train yard. Mr.Martin and Chole had a discussion at first but then you could tell they were happy to see each other. Myrtle is being mistreated, and the desk clerk told her she cannot stay. ]]> 2023-04-28 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2572057547 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2574016261 In chapter 13 we see the theme  "inequality is injustice." We see it first on page 154 when Mr.Martin and Myrtle are trying to find food, and they 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 options at the 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 an alley because Myrtle is not allowed to eat any were else. We also see this theme on pages 155-157 when Mytle is not allowed to stay at any of the hotels they try for the same reasons she is not allowed to eat at restaurants.]]> 2023-05-01 17:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2574016261 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2575616086 Myrtle and Mr.Martin were still at dead horse alley. Mrs.Ready thinks that the legislature is not going to vote and Myrtle has no idea what she is going to do if they vote, she does not want to go back to the girl's training institute. Mrs.Ready went to go see her daughter Myrtle and got along with Mrs.Ready but Mr.Martin made everything uncountable.  Mrs. Ready always had this weird feeling about Mr.Martin with his 3 missing fingers and a long scar on his face. Myrtle went to go get newspapers and groceries to keep Mr.Martin busy. ]]> 2023-05-02 18:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2575616086 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2578674577 Violet, still in the Hermitage Hotel dining room noticed she was being seen and not heard. She listens to the antis talk as she sits,. They talk about losing the senate four to twenty five, bolsheviks, and about to kidnapping a jew. The whole coversation made Violet angry. ]]> 2023-05-04 18:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2578674577 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2591714649 Violet, Chole, and Myrtle are hanging out in a field and the girls are learning how to drive the Hope Chest. Violet and Chole leave, drive through town and talk a lot about politics. people are switching sides a lot and it is becoming tense. They go to The Capitol and they 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 Dead Horse Alley eating some snacks when Mr.Martin gets arrested and taken away. Mrs.Ready, the lady who owns the house, tells Myrtle she has a place flor her to go and Myrtle is scared and nervous.  ]]> 2023-05-15 17:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2591714649 jh54892 https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2597896896 Violet has to find the two legislators who " ran away " instead of changing their vote. The suffragists need them to vote for the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. In order to find them, she has to drive the Hope Chest [car] and it gets pretty crazy. she does it though! She finds Mr. Credwell and takes him back, and Mrs.Pollitzer finds Mr. Blotz. This whole time, Violet cannot find Chole, Myrtle, or Mr. Martin. At the end the vote ended in 10-8 so finding those two guys were super important.]]> 2023-05-19 18:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54892/52wkfydms47udzr/wish/2597896896
