Questions: Why did she die? Why was Julian's mom so nice to him even though he obviously hated her.
Epiphanies: AJ would hate the mom too
The mom didn't understand the hat didn't make her special

"He imagined his mother lying desperately ill and his being able to secure only a Negro doctor for her"]]> 2019-09-25 14:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389470362 https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389470528 Thoughts: Julian uses his college education to evaluate himself and others around him. Julian is convinced he isn't racist. Maybe the reason her mom is so racist is because black people bought her grandpa's mansion.

Questions: Why does Julian have such animosity towards his mom? Why are they so poor if they have so many prominent people in the family? Why is the hat so significant to him?

Epiphanies: At the beginning of the story but at the end he was worried.]]> 2019-09-25 14:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389470528 https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389471566 Thoughts: We think whether or not you think she died its more about how she was treated by her son, you need to treat people with kindness because you never know when you will loose them. 
Questions:  why would the author make her like the little kid but not the adults? If grandpa had not died how would the relationship be different?
Epiphany: she keeps making sacrifices for him even through him treating her like 🤬 she dose everything for him and he dose not care until its too late.

Julian is hypocritical. He says he's not like his mother, but in order to be that, he overcompensates and comes off just as bad as she.

Questions: Why was the black woman so upset with her son? Why does Julian hate his mom so much? Why is poverty 'fun' to Julian's mom?

Questions: Why is Julian so annoyed with his mom? What point is he trying to prove to his mom when he tries talking to the black man on the bus? What caused her to have a stroke so fast? Where is Julian's father?

Thoughts: He could be so rude because he doesnt have a father figure. If his mom had such a grudge against colored folks.. then why did she talk to another colored female?

Epiphanies: When his mother was having a stroke, then when he realizes that she is and that he might lose her he starts freaking out.

Theme: Its not okay to be rascicit. Dont take people or time for granted, cause you never know when the last time you see them will be.]]> 2019-09-25 14:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389481671 https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389482652 Questions: ]]> 2019-09-25 14:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dunnmel/jt5ng1jx0kec/wish/389482652
