Janey Mae, I could never figure out why she 

didn't like me, she liked my brother, but not me. 

I've never been mean to her. I had never been 

rude. She always found a way to ruin my day. She 

always gets me in trouble for things she does. 

Like today she our father fell off of the fronts 

steps, because she left HER shoe laying around, 

but blamed it on me. 

July 2, 1875

Dear Diary,

        I am still in trouble for what Janey Mae did. I got 

whipped. I feel lonely. I have no friends. Being mixed is 

hard. One side thinks I'm stuck up, the other thinks I'm

a faker. I feel like I don't belong any where. I can't talk 

to any one, but this book. Well I can talk to my brother, 

but I still feel bad. Where we live there are a lot of 

prejudice people. People say a lot of things to me and my 

brother when we're alone. Nat doesn't seem bothered by 

the word, but I do.

I try not show emotion, but it's har   I had to stop, my 

stomach has been hurting alot. So I'm trapped in my room in 

pain.

Same day,

 My stomach really hurts, it gets worse by 

the minute. When I think it's over, it comes 

back twice as hard. I tried to tell mom, but  

she says it's just a stomach ache, it will go 

away. I threw up not long ago. i thought 

that would have stopped it, but it hurts 

even more. I have to stop writing, it's too 

much.

 BYE
