mother underground

Recently I went to a writing workshop for my neighbor, Rachel Pollock.  The whole 4 days we were studying the play she originally wrote, Mother Underground. An eventful realistic fiction about a runaway slave named Sophia who leads her journey to a safehouse owned by Ms. Frances Youngblood, a willing soul. While Sophia stays with Frances, Frances teaches her how to sew, and be courageous. 
                     After a few days we started a sequel to the story called On the Run. Sophia finally leaves on her way to Canada, freedom. On the way she runs into anxious dogs, nasty pedestrians, and another safehouse which leads her to freedom.
                    I really enjoyed working on this story for several reasons.
Here are a few

• We got to make new friends
• I learned about how people treated others unfairly.
• We expressed how we feel about treating others the way they want to be treated.

Another big thanks to you Rachel, and Judy ( NCARRD)        bye
