Sweet Summer pages 131-198

After having to go to a school the Bebe wasn’t comfortable with she learned how to deal with it for couple more years. But this time she made sure to listen to her mother and her grandmother’s advice to keep herself out of trouble. When Bebe begin her fourth grade year she saw how different her personality and her way of learning were improving. Her family was still on her about the opportunity that she has going to that school. She wanted to prove to them that she was finally doing her work. So when the teacher gave her three poems to memorize she found it as an opportunity to show to her mother and grandmother how well she was doing in school. When she told her mother about the poem project she had the mother made sure that she was doing what she was suppose to do. Later on Bebe went to her room and memorize two poems and left the other one. When her mother ask her to recited the poem for she notice that Bebe only knew the two shortest poem she asked her to go learn the other. Bebe knew that no matter what she did the mother always had a second opinion. However she made sure that she knew her words and study over and over again. When Bebe went to her room she started writing to her father about how she can’t wait about summer to come and tried to tell him everything that been happening.

“Girl you’re getting big. Now you better watch out for these little hardheads, hear me?” (Campbell 135)

In the beginning of the book she talked about her father’s death and all of sudden she started talking about her wanting to go to her father during the summer. That got me really confuse because now I’m wondering is the father dead or she just writing her own letter to herself and writing back to herself.
