Hi there!I'm Renee Watson the author of Piecing me.
Jade is the protagonist of the story Piecing Me Together. Jade is a young woman who feels that if she wants to thrive, she must leave her impoverished area. She is leaving her pals and attending a private high school in order to take advantage of all the chances that come her way.
But she still feels like an outsider, she can sense the socioeconomic divide between her and everyone else at her school, she just can't relate to anyone, and her skin color is another factor.
Why don't you tell them what happened next, Lala?
Boo! Thank you, Ms. Watson. Why don't we let Jade and Sam speak for themselves right now?
Do you mind take your bag hold it behind the counter.You bag is quite larger than theirs
I'm sorry but if you don't cooperate,I'll have to ask you to leave
Don't worry about asking me
If your not taking their bags then you are not taking mine
five minutes later...
Why were you waiting outside?
No way
But I wouldn't call that racist. I Don't know. She was just trying to do her job that's all
