Letter to Cecile

We read and had a great discussion about the chapter Your Mother, NZila.  In this chapter Cecile wrote to Delphine.  If you were Delphine, how would you respond to Cecile?

    Dear Cecile,

    I understand what you mean, but I don’t understand how one day I’ll see the truth in things. Everything is changing so fast and I’m slowing down.

    Yours truly.
    Delphine

    P.S. Darnell is home.

    Dear Cecile,

    I know what you mean by saying that your name means
    what you want your name to be because we did this in
    school and it was fun. But why didn't you just tell me the
    truth so i can understand better and not always ask you
    a question on what you mean.

    Sincerely,
    Delphine

    P.S. I will stay eleven. I will stay eleven while i
    still can.

Also I thought you weren't going to send me a letter so are you mad at me do you still love me as a daughter?

    Dear Cecile,

    I am glad you told me the truth but why didn’t you just tell me the truth when i asked you what your name meant but it’s okay. Anyway I’m finally in sixth grade but me and my class aren’t happy with what teacher we have because we were supposed to have Miss honeywell as are teacher but instead we have Mr.Mweli he said that him and Miss Honeywell switched places so Miss Honeywell went to Africa to teach his class and he came from africa to teach us at are class. Mr. Mweli is the one who told me what your name meant and that’s why i got mad and
    wrote you that letter.

    Love always, Delphine
