Fictional Narrative: How Cassie Learned Her Place In The World
Fictional Narrative
Final Assessment

Winter was just starting in Mississippi so the sun wasn’t shining that much. But all I was glad about was that Cassie learned her place in the world, (ya know cause she's a little black girl). A couple days ago down in Strawberry Cassie bumped into me. I told her to get off the sidewalk but she wouldn’t so my daddy had to step in and push her off. But when her grandmother comes she makes her apologize to me. It felt good when she said Miz Lillian Jean instead of just Lillian Jean. Me, Cassie and my little brother Jeremy were walking home on sunny day and Cassie was carrying my book down on past the railroad tracks. As we walking up towards the bank Cassie tells me she’s got a little gift for me. So we

It made me so mad that I just went up to her and slapped her across the face. I guess she did not understand that I was only trying to make her pick up my book and continue walking but she built up all this rage and anger that she just tackles me and starts pulling my hair!! I am laying on the ground fighting with all my might but she was so mad that she starts tugging on my clothes. I soon give up and let her pull my hair and tug on my clothes but I keep screaming at her and calling her names. But soon after that she slows down the tugging and pulling and starts trying to make me apologize.I felt like I did not need to apologize for the things she did to me but no she was trying ot make me apologize for making her get off the sidewalk and for making her carry my book and for making her find her place in the world. I thought I was just trying to help her so when she gets older she does not have to go through trouble to get what she wants. So of course I was not going to apologize to some little black girl who just beat me up. So I refuse. She said, “ Do you want to be bald when you go home girl?” So I mumble, “ I’m sorry Cassie.” She just stands there accepting my apologize probably thinking how cool she was but little did she

    I moved from Detroit, MI to Ypsilanti, MI, for a better living. It was December 29, 2008. I had just given birth to my daughter. My daughter was born at 9:45p.m, weighing 5lbs and 3ounces. I named my daughter Saphira Parthenia Franks. Saphira died at 36 weeks, due to still born. The doctor told me” Sometimes this happens without a reason and you will be able to have more children”. I already had my mind made up, that I would wait until I turn thirty to have another baby. I was heartbroken and disgusted with myself. I was already going insane from the deaths of my father in November 2006 and my grandma in July 2008. Therefore, I was not able to cope with their three deaths at once.…

    It was a casual August afternoon in Minneapolis, people walking the down the sidewalk, strangers passing by. We were visiting my old hometown. I was walking with Beth, and we were messing around. I used to have an inside joke with one of my friends from fifth grade, “Girl you need to chill.” It stuck once I moved. Anyway, Beth had just told me to chill, so, I walked into the nearest cold building. Which of course, ended up being a meat locker… 15 minutes later I was coming out and saw an all too familiar pair of square glasses. Before I could see her face, she turned away. Her bleached tip hair swung across her shoulders. The dark skin, the hair and glasses, it had to be Miracle Brown. This is the girl who was one of my best friends in sixth grade. She started heading down the street, so I told Beth to meet me back at our hotel.…

The game was to throw wooden ball at medium size ring of fire. I wanted to win Mildred a stuffed animal as I had promised her when I asked her out. The man asked her what she wanted she said “I would like a stuffed animal of a panda reading a book. The man typed it up on his tablet and it appeared. I don’t know why she wanted a panda reading a book, I myself would have chosen something cool like a phoenix or something but whatever made her happy made me even happier. The night went on, she was amazing she was funny and so sweet, I hoped the night would never end.. Then she asked if I wanted to go on the ferris wheel, I told her that I was afraid of heights, but she said don’t worry I am here for you. I couldn’t refuse an offer to sit so close to her in a cramped seat so I trusted her. When we got on she saw how scared I was so she grabbed my hand and started singing “L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole, that forever became our song. I saw that it was cold so I gave her my jacket. After the ferris wheel we decided to walk around, she was still holding my hand. We stopped by the pond looked at each other, I pushed her hair to her ear and went in for a kiss, as soon as I did the annual fireworks went off. It was a moment I’ll never forget.

    I remember when I was young and my grandmother decided to take me to the library with her. She put me into “The Little Readers Club” while she went off to look for books to read. In the club we were told to look for a book and read it and then share what the book was about. I remember getting up and look at all the shelves filled with thousands and thousands of books. I remember thinking, “how could a person write so much and not run out of words?” putting aside my curiousity, I searched for a book and found a book called “Spaghetti in a hot dog bun.” After I picked the book I came and sat down and saw all the other kids smiling and reading their books like they were professionals as I sat there not knowing how to read at all. I felt dumb at the moment and unfit, so all I did was look at the pictures and try to come up with what I thought the story was about. When it came to sharing time; I was too embarrassed to tell the club leader that I didn’t read my story because I couldn’t read. So when it came to my turn to share my story I stood up and said, “My book is about a girl that likes….uh…” I just stood there and froze; I realized that I never knew what the characters in the book liked or what. I stood there as everybody stared at me as I slowly felt myself tearing up. When I finally couldn’t handle the embarrassment, I ran and hid myself behind two big shelves and didn’t come out until I heard my grandmother calling…
