In this reading My name is Margaret a 10 year old black girl named Margaret works for a white owner. Margaret realizes that her boss keeping shortening her name and she doesn't like it. She realizes that her mom won't let her quit so she tries to get fired. She drops a a two glass cups and a casserole dish which shatter. I do agree with Margaret decision to break the items. Imagine being in a place where you have to work everyday and the conditions are unpleasant. She doesn't like the fact that they called Mary and she knows no one will stop unless they want to. She can't quit because her mother won't let, so what other option does she have. She needs to make it seem like accident, but enough to get her fired. I would have done the same in order to get out of a situation. During high school I had this biology teacher who I believed hated life. She was always on someone's back for something, especially mine. One time I was joking around with my friend and she over heard me. He started by talking trash, so I reciprocated. I wasn't aware she was listening and when she heard me she told me to go to the office. I decided that I was leaving. Why you ask. Because she didn't say anything to the other student and it was obvious she was picking on me. I decided to stop taking her bs and I took a stand. She then had me instead wait after class. We discussed the problem and she realized that I wasn't at fault.
