There is a Mom, Dad, Violet, Chloe, and Stephen. It is 1920. Chloe is in NY treating patients. Violet's friend, Flossie died of influenza ( the Spanish Flu). We know Chloe had run away from home to be a New woman. Chloe believes women should go to college, have jobs, and have the same rights as men. Violet is really upset that her mom has hidden these letters from her all of this time.]]> 2023-03-20 13:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2523610321 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2525400649 Violet ran away with her savings, $3.92. She is going to NY to see her older sister Chloe. Violet took the letters with her to NY, Violet rode on a train and her grandmother gave her $250, Chloe lived on Hennry st. Settlement House. Then Violet's brother Stephen went as a soldier to war and got a body part removed or went into shell shock. Mrs. Renwick was on the train with Violet she was dying but no doctors no what was going on with her. She was an anti-suffragist she did not want women to vote. She thinks that women should stay at home, get married, and have babies.]]> 2023-03-21 13:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2525400649 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2527149955 Violet ran away from the police after she got off the train. She went to the street but it was a large crowd she tried to find herself around the crowd. But she got pushed around and knocked out.

This means to ride a train without paying. They rode on a train on a dirty platform and they have to sleep outside. In the end, they make it to Washington DC and they realize Hobie is a great guy and not what they seemed. The theme is don't judge a book by its cover. At first, Violet and Myrtle think Hobie is sketch, but in the end, he saved Myrtle and helped the girls get to  Washington DC.]]> 2023-03-30 12:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2538302893 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2548829451 Violet and Myrtle have arrived in Washington DC to find Chloe. They are filthy and covered with soot from the train ride. When they arrived 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 the Cameron House and meet Mrs. Dexter, Lucy Burns, and Alice Paul. All of these ladies are suffragists but Mrs. Dexter is not a favor of helping Myrtle because she is "colored" They learn how Tennessee is holding an important voting session. Suffragist is traveling to Tennessee in hopes to help the Sussan B. Amendement. ]]> 2023-04-10 13:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2548829451 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2557013962 Violet and Myrtle wake up at the Cameron's house and go downstairs for breakfast. They are surprised that Mr. Martin has shown up. They discuss going to Tennessee, the two girls would like to go there and find Chloe. Miss Dexter is still giving Myrtle funny looks and is not pleased to take her along. Mr. Martin agrees to go with them, but Violet has to telegram home beforehand. Once they get onto the train, an encounter between the conductor tells Myrtle to go to the "colored car" and Mr. Martin stands up for Myrtle. The conductor reminds Mr. Martin that is Virginia law, and he must follow the law or risk being arrested. We also learned that Mr. Martin received his scar because of child labor and was part of a huge protest with mother jones he was younger. The theme of this chapter is don't judge a book by its cover.]]> 2023-04-17 13:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2557013962 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2563469167 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 what not include colored women. Myrtle is very stubborn and determined that colored women will have the right to vote.]]> 2023-04-21 16:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2563469167 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2565800771 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, they question the suffragist about him and accuse the women of not being very intelligent because they are female. The two men treated the women like they were dumb. We see examples of inequality with the Jim Crow car and Myrtle being inequality is between men and women, we can tell the agents don't think women should get the right to vote]]> 2023-04-24 14:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2565800771 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2567592314 Violet helps a woman who had fallen and was upset about losing her son in the war, and Violet gets angry about the way the women have to sit in silence while men make decisions that affect them. It is unequal and unfair that women are not allowed to participate in the decision-making process. We meet Miss Charlotte Rowe and she companies Violet from the train station to the hotel where she is staying. When Violet walks toward the entrance of the hotel, she is told by Miss Charlotte Rowe that women use a different entrance at the side of the building. It is unequal that women and men cannot enter through the same entrance, and it is unfair that women have enter the side of the building as if they aren't important enough to enter at the front.]]> 2023-04-25 17:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2567592314 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2570421155 In Chapter 11 we see the theme "inequality is injustice. " Violet is hungry and wants to find somewhere to eat, but she is told she can't in one of the hotel restaurants because 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 just for women. She also realizes that the woman who pinned a red rose on her on the train was an Anti, and she was staying an in Anti room at the hotel. She finds out she can eat sandwiches if she goes to the Anti meeting. As she listens to them speak, she learns how they are getting men to change their minds about voting for Susan B. Anthony Amendment. Violet overheard some people talking and they said, "Mayhew and she got really excited to finally see Chloe! Chloe and Violet finally see each other and Violet told Chloe she ran away from home to find her. Chloe is really tired and doesn't seem to be much help to find Myrtle or Mr. Martin.]]> 2023-04-27 14:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2570421155 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2571783488 Violet woke at the Tulane Hotel, ate breakfast, and realized while she was at the Hermitage no one paid any attention to her, so she was able to hear everything the Antis were saying. She thought about how maybe she could be a spy and tell the staff what they are doing. She then went looking for Mr. Martin and Myrtle and found them very dirty looking like hoboes in the train yard. Mr. Martin and Chloe had a heated discussion at first but then you can tell they were happy to see each other. Myrtle is being treated unfairly, the desk clerk telling her she cannot stay at the hotel.]]> 2023-04-28 13:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2571783488 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2573715661 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 go sit at a counter. Instead of serving them, the boy working there calls the police because Myrtle is African-American. Segregation laws and opinions 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 isn't allowed to eat anywhere else. We also see this theme on pages 155-157 when Myrtle isn't 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 13:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2573715661 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2575227252 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 why the colored suffragist is being asked to stay hidden. Mr.Martin and Myrtle show up at the pharmacy. Then, Mr. Martin and Chloe get into an agreement because he is jealous of her spending time with legislators to convince them to vote for the amendment.]]> 2023-05-02 13:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2575227252 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2591533195 2023-05-15 15:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2591533195 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2591535708 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 , drive through town, and talk about politics. People are switching sides a lot and it is becoming tense. They go to the Capital and they learn that 2 legislators have ran off. This is important because they need to vote ( they are on the Suff side). Myrtle and Mr. Martin are back at Dead Hores 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 for her to go and Myrtle is scared and not nervous.]]> 2023-05-15 15:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2591535708 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2593059053 Violet has to find two legislators who "run away" instead of changing their vote. The suffragist needs them to vote for the Susan B. Amendment. In order to find them, she has to drive the Hope Chest (car) and it gets pretty crazy. She does it through! She finds Mr. Credwell and makes him back, and Mrs. Pollitzer finds Mr. Boltz this whole time Violet cannot find Chloe, Myrtle, or Mr. Martin. At the end of the Chapter, we learned that vote ended in 10-8 so finding those two guys was super important.]]> 2023-05-16 13:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2593059053 jh54991 https://padlet.com/jh54991/mzw89hw3ag2hgxxi/wish/2597852704 In this chapter, the women are given the right to vote! after the vote is being delayed, people are pouring into the Capitol to see this special day.
