One Crazy Summer tells the story of three sisters who travel to Oakland, California, in 1968 to meet the mother who abandoned them. Eleven year old Delphine is like a mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. She's had to be, ever since their mother, Cecile, left them seven years ago for a radical new life in California. When they arrive from Brooklyn to spend the summer with her, Cecile is nothing like they imagined. source: Amazon.com

January 28th - GREAT DAY OF BLOGGING
TODAY IS ONE OF THE THREE "GREAT DAYS OF BLOGGING" How do people adapt to different situations?
Delphine didn’t expect them to be mean because, on the news it said that the Black Panthers are mean and violent but she was kind a right because, when the people came with the bread crazy Kelvin said “that’s the least that the racist dogs can do” to the food men. By: Mary Jane Conant Stocking Elementary 5th grade
What I want to ask you is what Cecile was wearing the day she got them? Delphine descent expected the panther to be nice to them that morning and call her sister. And that they were gone to call her mother nzila.

The three girls Delphine Vonetta and fern were looking for their mother at first big ma said that cecile lives on a park bench next to the winos.....And then when they founded their mother she lives on a green stucco house with a beat up couch.with a little palm tree that is growing.
Delphine takes care of her sisters (Vonetta,and Fern), like a motherly type of girl when they get to Oakland, California. They think their mother who abandoned them, Cecile, is mean and crazy because Cecile said, "didn't want you in the first place, should have gone to Mexico to get rid of you when I had the chance".

One way I adapted to a different station is I would learn how to fit in wear ever I need to like school or if I move to a different country or city. By Dasia Sanders 5th grade Stocking Elementary
How people do that is go back from before they were big. like the three sisters lived with their mom but then their mom couldn’t keep them no more because she did not have stuff for them to do so she just gave them to their dad and grandmother so they can keep them but a couple hours and months they found there mother who banded them and left them with other family members. Now ever since then she has been a night mere to them. Danika Shaw Stocking elementary school
where to get there food How people adapt to different situations When People sometimes get the hang of stuff. Like for example when the girls came to their moms house they didn’t know from then there mom told them were to get there food from so they learned were to go for Dinner.
I think vonetta adapt on her sister fern because fern wanted to play with vonetta but she told her to go because she was playing with the Ankton sisters so she push her sister fern away.
People adapt to new places by having other people that you know in that place that you move to, to help you know the place or tell where a place is. For example when Fern Vonetta and Delphine went to Oakland they didn’t know where a place. But Cecile told them where the center was and Mean Lady Ming was.

Stocking school
People adapt to new places by having other people that you know in that place that you move to, to help you know the place or tell where a place is. For example when Fern Vonetta and Delphine went to Oakland they didn’t know where a place. But Cecile told them where the center was and Mean Lady Ming was.
