36. From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun by Jacqueline Woodson
Fourteen-year-old Melanin Sun just found out his mother is in love with a white women. He's emotions are mixed. He doesn't want his mother to be "queer." Melanin starts to question everything his relationship with his mother, friends, and girls. He expresses himself by writing in his notebook.
Write the names of the most important characters in the story: Melanin Sun, EC, Raphael, Sean, Angie, and Kristen.
Was the main character in the book good or bad? Defend your decision with
examples from the book: Melanin Sun is neither good or bad. He loves his mother but treats her terrible when he finds out she loves Kristen. He's young an acts immature when presented with the information about his mom.
The notebook and the miss amphibians are unnecessary but a guess it adds depth to the characters.
