The Vanishing Half
Storyboard-Text
- Shortly after getting the picture of Stella from Jude, Kennedy brings it to her attention. In the text it says, "Kennedy would remember this later, how she could have said nothing, could have lain out there in that sunlight forever. Instead, she handed her mother the photograph. "Whats this" (Bennett 297)? This is a very important part because later Kennedy may regret bringing the photograph to her mothers attention. She didnt know what to expect and was in disbelief, so she was hoping that giving her mother the photograph would make her tell the truth for once.
- Do you want to finally tell me the truth?
- What Kennedy Thinks about
- Don't call me a Negro
- Soon after giving Kennedy the photograph Jude and Kennedy got into a bit of an argument. In the text it said, "I'm not a Negro," she said, Jude laughed again, this time uneasily. "Well your mother is," she said. "So?" "So that makes you one too" (Bennett 296). This interaction is important because it shows how in denial Kennedy is. After all of the years being lied to by Stella, she may have started to believe what was being told to her, and it is now so much that she refuses to believe it now.
- For sale!
- As Kennedy began working in real estate, where she did great she constantly got the feeling of her being back stage again before an open huse. One time when she got this feeling she began to think, "Imagine your life here," she said. "Imagine who you could be" (Bennett 300). This is important because Kennedy is thinking about the decisions she has made up to this point. This quote also makes you wonder if she will follow after what Stella did considering what Jude recently said to her.
