Week 5 Post A

There weren't really new cultural differences in this section of reading, there were just re-occuring differences, which I have already talked about. For example Sade is still getting bullied by her trouble-making classmates, yet she continues to study hard and succeed. "You reckoned I wasn't serious, right? Well, let me tell you, girl, I mean what I say. When I said no one was going to do that homework without my say-so, I was talking about YOU!{...}Whith a flourish Marcia ripped out the first two pages in Sade's book. YOU ar NO ONE. Get it? No one" (134). This is very unfortunate for Sade, especially since she is new to the city and it is bad enough to be that far away from home and it makes it much more difficult for her when her classmates not only don't accept her, but also terrorize and tease her. Hopefully, Sade will be able to keep her head up through all of it.
