My favorite character is June because she is straight up. At that period of time I would not like a little "white" girl roaming all around my house. June makes you think of the time period and how racism existed. She probably thought maybe someone was planning something for me (June), seeing how we basically kidnapped a little girl. Not a good idea. I wonder how June will end up treating Lily.

I also like the fact that Lily gets to experience what it feels like to be discriminated against. All of the African-American characters have experienced discrimination, but Lily hasn't, and she is very resentful when she discovers that June apparently mistrusts her because of her race. I think it's good for Lily to be on the other side for once.
ReplyDeleteJune was like that for the sake of her own family. If a white girl was to stay with the Calendar Sisters, conflicts would often rise within the house... at least that's what I think June thought. She's a very stubborn and strong spirited person nevertheless... though her personality and character does not show us that directly.
