Summary
As Marguerite had predicted, her father did take her and her brother Bailey to St. Louis to live with their mother. With going to St. Louis, Bailey really grew close to his mother and made her a nickname. Marguerite on the other hand, had a hard time connecting to her because they looked nothing alike, which made her come to the conclusion that she was adopted. An unfortunate event happened to Marguerite when she was living with her mother in St. Louis. Marguerite was raped by her mother's boyfriend Mr. Freeman. In court Mr. Freeman was released that same day, but was killed a couple of days later by someone unknown. With no warning Marguerite and Bailey were sent by to Stamps, Arkansas because of Marguerite's condition after being raped. In Stamps, Marguerite meets a new friend Mrs. Flowers who introduced her to poetry, and would forever have a profound impact on her life.
Quotation
"Words mean more than what is down of paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning"(Angelou 95).
Reaction
This quote really got to me because I felt it was true and I could relate to it. When I write words , it doesn't really mean anything I say them aloud. It is kind of like the freedom of speech, if you have something to say, it is better to say them, rather than expressing yourself on paper.
