I'm currently reading A Friendship for Today by Patrica C. McKissack. In the book, the main character Rosemary, is the first African American student in the town to enroll in an all-white school. When the new law was made that there was no segregation. Rosemary has to deal with all of the racism that was thrown at her. I feel for Rosemary. Being bullied isn't easy. Especially when you're definitely don't need it at the worst time.
Rosemary is having some tough times. For example, Katherine Hogan accused Rosemary for stealing her sweater. Katherine's sweater was found by the hall monitor. Katherine didn't care about the sweater. She wanted to blame Rosemary for something she didn't even do. I feel for Rosemary. Being blamed for something you had nothing to do with sucks. You know you didn't do anything. But no one believes you. That feeling of hurt. Rosemary has to deal with this almost everyday from Katherine and Grace.
Rosemary knows all of the roumours aren't true. But you never know when one can break. Rosemary is a very strong girl. Any other girl would of run off crying. Rosemary tried not to get to angry. People can be just so horrible at times. Sometimes enough is enough. Katherine should've never lied.
I think Rosemary was smart to stick up for herself. She is a experienced girl with everything. She knows how to hold it all in. She's been doing it all her life. Even though she has been through a lot, she has a lot to live for. Rosemary was broken many times. She can always find her way back home.
