Our lives are like tapestries. The colour and beauty of the designs all depend on the people we’ve known and the things we’ve learnt.

I was thinkin’ to myself…Elvadeen, what’s you gots to write about?
But in your whole good for nothing life, ain’t got no daddy, only money
ever belongst to you was 20 dollars you got yourself in a birthday card
from your uncle last year. But it really wasnt for your birthday. It was
for layin’ over his lap, and lettin’ him spank you with your underpants
down….(pause)…Now here you come along. Shovin’ me in the back of the
room, when I can’t even see good, which means I’m probably not gonna graduate
this summer neither, just cause you read how some white man’s life be like
a bowl full of cherries, I gotta come up with a fit here saying…well, fine
I’m gonna write how happy I’m gonna be to get 20 more dollars for my birthday-

new man my momma’s seein’ might stop drinkin, and treat me nice, and maybe
he’s gonna take us off the welfare, and in the end, we’re gonna be good as
puddin’ like sure is a bowl fulla cherries. But to tell you the truth, Miss
Stratford? I think you, that book, and this whole class be a bowl…fulla…

Lidia: She told you the best truth she knows and you ain’t got no right to put her out and call her a liar neither. My mama says folks who treat people bad only do it because they’re ignorant. So I’m gonna help you. She’s gonna sit up front where she can see from now on. And she ain’t gonna go by colored girl no more neither. You’re gonna learn her name. I do’t know about you, but all my friends have names and this just so happens to be my best friend. Her name is Elvadine.
My life be a wreak
No one ever said hello in our family I guess it was kind of our way of never having to say goodbye
Phe-ew, it smells like butt down here!
