Chapter 9 – Marita’s
Bargain KIPP Academy is a middle school in the Bronx that gives students a more structured learning environment.The smile, sit up, listen, ask questions, nod when being spoken to, and track with your eyes (SSLANT) protocol is a good practice that many schools should have in place. Marita’s bargain is one that she felt was the best for her future of success.Marita has to make many sacrifices in order to attend KIPP Academy.She had to get up early, return home late and stay up late to complete homework.Most of all Marita lost a good friend, because her friend wasn’t willing to make the same sacrifices to get ahead.Marita wants to be successful, so she is willing to take advantage of the opportunities that KIPP Academy has to offer her.Marita knows if she works hard at KIPP Academy, she has the opportunity to be successful in high school and go on to college.KIPP Academy will open doors for Marita’s opportunities for success. I did not understand the beginning part of the book when it was talking about the ancestry. I don't think it was fair that his mother died at a young age.I also don't think it's fair that he could not get as much education as the white people.He could not read or do anything like that because it was illegal.I don't think it was fair how the blacks were treated in those days.
