Now it is your turn to develop questions and make connections between the film and book! With a partner or individually, post five questions you realized you had about Marguerite's story from viewing the film--a question can be formed from something you were wondering about. After you have developed your questions, find the answers in the book! Challenge: Cite quotations to support your answers. Include page number.
1. Q: Why does Uncle Willie walk with a limp and what's with his stutter?
A: A babysitter dropped him as a child, but Momma says it was God's will, so she's not mad about it.
2. Q: Why aren't Bailey and Maya enthusiastic to meet their father?
A: Neither of his parents had ever written them or bothered to visit, so they felt offended that all of a sudden he shows up. They were also confused because Bailey Jr. thought that he saw his dead body the night before.
3. Q: Were "the boys" apart of the KKK?
A: Yes, even though they weren't dressed in white hoods, they were still part of the racist group.
4. Q: Why were the children upset that their parents sent them gifts?
A: They felt that their parents were showing off their big city lives while Bailey Jr. and Maya were left to live on a farm, forever abandoned by them.
5. Q: When did Maya's parents seperate?
A: Maya was only 3 years old.
