We see that Rachel's character has changed from not liking him to liking him. Rachel's personality changed because she thinks Anthony is handsome, and she didn't think that before. Maybe after this Rachel will be changing more. ]]> 2020-01-24 02:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435470286 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435471596 At this moment in the book Rachel starts going through an 'awkward' phase. She might actually be just changing. Most people in their lives change at least one time. Maybe it is from a past trauma or something good happening. But here Rachel is changing to be like everyone else, or at least that's what it seems like. The theme in this story could be that people change in a snap. I said this was the theme because Rachel has been changing her personality a lot in this book. ]]> 2020-01-24 02:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435471596 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435472643 At this moment in the book we see that Rachel thinks that black women are not as pretty as white women. There are 3 exceptions though. But from this quote, we can see that Rachel is forming her own opinion. She might think this because maybe her classmates/ and or friends think that is true. This goes with the theme that people can change in a snap, because Rachel just formed a big opinion that can change how she feels about certain people.]]> 2020-01-24 02:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435472643 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435473855 At this moment in the book we see that Rachel is body shamed. I would have thought that Rachel would have cried when that happened to her. But no, she actually put her emotions into her 'blue bottle'. It can be bad to put so many things into it without letting it spill out, but she manages to keep it steady. ]]> 2020-01-24 03:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435473855 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435474787 At this moment in the book we find symbolism. This symbolism is how they use the word Extinction. The word is used as a way to say Aunt Loretta's life is not moving. I know this because Extinct animals don't move. Just like how she thinks her life is right now.]]> 2020-01-24 03:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435474787 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435479670 At this moment Rachel remembers when she used to do races and almost won. She was usually beat by a boy names Erik S. This was in 5th grade. It seems like Rachel likes being the best one at something. She might have thought about this to help her win the race she was in (present day). ]]> 2020-01-24 03:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/435479670 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439438769 In this part of the book Rachel questions why people think she looks different. Rachel's character is changing because earlier she thought she was ugly, but now she doesn't care what other people think. She only cares about what she thinks. This goes with the theme that is, people can change in a snap, because she opionion changes.]]> 2020-02-03 03:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439438769 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439439883 In this part of the book we learn more about Nella's character.

She wants to protect her kids because her child named Charles was killed in a fire. We notice some past trauma with Nella, and we see that it affects her now as well.]]> 2020-02-03 03:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439441503 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439442396 In this part of the book we get a sense of how Rachel's family works. The symbolism of the part is the 'food' part of it. The food represents what keeps the family together. Food, is brought up many times in this book, with many different meanings.]]> 2020-02-03 03:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439442396 cluvi160 https://padlet.com/cluvi160/9sh76uw82049/wish/439443742 At this moment in the book we see that Rachel see's Lakeisha differently in a good way.
