Every Good-Bye
Pick one of the characters that we said good-bye to in this chapter. Why do you think they left? Also, have you said good-bye to someone in your life?
One reason why Big ma left because Darnel had left. One similar thing that happened to me that was similar is when my mom and dad got into a fight and my dad walked out on us
P.S Be Eleven I think Darnell left because he need’s to get some fresh air and get away. Somebody that i had to say goodbye to was my dog jaida. she died in peace.
why i think think big ma left is because she was just tired of all the stuff that was going on and i think that this is going to just be a little break for her to refresh her head.
Think Big Ma left because she went to get a new house or to look for Uncle Darnell and I think Uncle Darnell left because he might have heard Pa say he has to leave and he has to get a job. Someone I have said goodbye to is all of my teachers when I go to a different school or class.
we said good bye to big ma and i think they left because there gonna look for uncle darrell or they're going to pray for him at church. and when i was little about 3 or 4 years old my dad left for 2 years and came back when i was 6 or 7.
Uncle darnell is one of the person that left because everyone in the family said that he was on drug so he left and he hasn't came back home with big ma so that is why Uncle Darnell left and so did Big ma. someone i had to say goodbye to my uncle because we went on vacation to go see him in chicago illinois to visit him . when we were getting ready to leave we had to say good bye and its was sad. but we will go back and visit him.
I think Darnell left because he wasn't thinking clearly and stole the girls money to take care of himself. A very similar thing happened to my family my step dad was going crazy because he had schizophrenia he jumped out of our car and ran when we were driving he had to take drugs to make it better. Two weeks later we found out he moved to Wisconsin to live with his mom. This happened two years ago.
Some reasons Big Ma left the Gaither house was because Pa and Big Ma got into a fight and that`s probably when Big Ma said she's leaving.Another reason Big Ma is Leaving is because of the note that Uncle Darnell left for Big Ma, but she didn't want to read it si Delphine did and it said he's going to be gone for a while.
Why i think Uncle Darnell left Is because he felt bad because he took the girls money mrs. was mad to i had said goodbye to my great grandpa' a couple weeks before he had died.
Big ma is the one who left.She left because Pa was being mean they were fighting alot and Pa payed no attention to Big ma because he got married with Miss Marva he changed because before he was married he was all lonely and sad all the time but know he’s not even acting like a real dad anymore.One day when i said bye to someone it was my cousin she was going to north Carolina with her dad for a long time but then she was being bad in north Carolina so she got sent back to grand rapids
