https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303 Striking passages from pages 290-303 en-us 2016-12-06 14:01:09 UTC 2026-02-03 05:11:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142064881 I thought that the passage on page 295 was striking. This passage questions what Jacqueline and Maria's lives would be like if certain things never happened. It mentioned things like if they never moved near Escher other, never met, or even if they didn't have the same siblings they each have. It stood out to me because I've thought about that before, and it really makes me think. It also made me wonder what the book would've been like if the events in the book were different.]]> 2016-12-06 16:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142064881 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142064901 I think the promise land is a striking passage on page 301-302. Jacqueline realizes that uncle Robert isn't the same before jail. She still supports him though. Uncle Robert has become a Muslim and tells stories about Mohammed. This passage really stuck out to me.]]> 2016-12-06 16:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142064901 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065019 The passage, the promise land was striking because Jackie's uncle wasn't the same. Uncle wears a Kirk on his head and is called a Muslim. Jackie and his family witness the stories uncle tell like the story about a man named Muhammad. Uncle also tells the place called Mecca. Look with your heart and your head he tells me.]]> 2016-12-06 16:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065019 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065148 A passage that stuck out to me was on page 293-294 where it says that aunt Kay believed in destiny and fate which I thought was intriguing.]]> 2016-12-06 16:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065148 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065186 One striking passage was on page 302. The passage was called "Power People" when it is explaining how Angela isn't afraid to die. I really liked how Angela would die for what she believes in and what she thinks is right. This page stood out to me because I liked how it said that that black peoples need to defend themselves because of the revolution. This reminds me of segregation because everyone needs to stand for their beliefs for their color. I believe everyone should respect each other  in all circumstances but also believe in their own beliefs. ]]> 2016-12-06 16:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065186 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065193 One striking passage was on p. 290. I really feel bad for Jacqueline because her aunt Lucinda died and most of her family members have died. Jacqueline grandmother quoted on p. 290 said that she was done with the South and she said it makes her feel sad. Jacqueline family members are dying one by one and I think she is worried of who is going to die next. This was striking to me because after one family member dies another one dies after them.]]> 2016-12-06 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065193 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065255 One striking passage was on page 299 because even though it was short, it was very interesting. I thought it was cool that she went under the back porch for a quiet place. This shows that inside her house is probably a very loud and busy place where she can not get any writing done.]]> 2016-12-06 16:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065255 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065333 One striking passage was on page 302. The poem "Power to the People" showed that everyone was protesting for civil rights. I liked when it said that Angela Davis wasn't afraid to die for what she believes in and she doesn't plan to die without a fight. I also liked how Maria and Jackie wanted to help Angela Davis's cause. There are many more striking passages, but this one stuck out to me the most. ]]> 2016-12-06 16:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065333 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065481 One striking passage was p.292 when it says someone's always asking and someone always does. This impacted me because she is really speaking from her experience and not from any other person life. In my life in school there is always a question for a teacher and the teacher usually always answers it. Also in outside]]> 2016-12-06 16:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065481 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065811 One striking passage was on pg.302-303. This passage was striking to me because Segregation has been hard for them and are still mistreated. I also like this passage because they are going to stand up for what they believe in and they are willing to give up everything for freedom.  "She is not afraid to die for what she believes in". This shows that they are done with being mistreated and want to put up a fight. This also makes me scared because they said they are not afraid to die which makes me think they will risk too much.]]> 2016-12-06 16:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065811 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065875 One striking passage from Brown Girl Dreaming is "What If ..." This passage is about Jackie wondering what would happen if things in her life didn't happen. For example, what if she had never talk to Maria. This stood out to me because sometimes I wonder the same thing. Like, what if I had never moved to North Carolina, would I ever have such good friends. That's why that stood out to me.]]> 2016-12-06 16:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142065875 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142066117 What if. ......
   

 I Liked this passage because sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if a certain thing didn't happen. Jackie has had a lot of thing ps happen in her life. So if certain things hadn't happen obviously 🙄 her life would be different. ]]> 2016-12-06 16:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142066117 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067094 One striking passage that I saw was on page 303 and it says," we are not afraid to die,Maria and I shout,fists high,for what we believe in." I thought it was striking because the words really spoke to me.i thought what they said was really brave.And in conclusion,this passage was really striking because it was a very brave choice and the words really spoke to me and me feel nice]]> 2016-12-06 16:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067094 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067166 One striking passage was on page 303. This passage is the Promise land, the passage was striking to me becase it is when her uncle becomes a Muslim. This is striking because her uncle has always been really close to Jackie. Now after jail, his new look, and a new religion. Jackie is probably very scared and doesn't know how to handle it because she's always felt the same as him.]]> 2016-12-06 16:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067166 ethan_gary https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067431 One striking passage was on page 295 "What if no one had ever walked]]> 2016-12-06 16:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142067431 https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142069007 One striking passage was on page 295-296 it was called what if. This was a striking passage because Jacqueline really explained it well. Jacqueline also had a thought that no one else had.]]> 2016-12-06 16:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ellie_ramsey/4BGDpages290303/wish/142069007
