Chapter 20 Journal
Dear Journal,
Jus when I thought everything was gonna be better, it ain’t. Everything goin’ downhill. We finally reached California an’ it ain’t nothin’ they said it was gonna be. Everyone livin’ in tents not knownin’ where they at. Mr. Knowles told us that they ain’t got no jobs out here. Everything that was written in the handbill was a lie. I can’t believe this; all of our dreams are crushed. For some reason I feel like I might get caught. Someone might find out that I wasn’t ‘pose to leave the state. I’m getting kind of worried. I’m also worried about grandma’s body. She died unfortunately an’ we ain’t have money to bury her so we left her body at the coroners. I think everyone knew that she wouldn’t be able to live without her husband. Casy got arrested for something I did. I can’t believe he sacrificed his life for me. Now that he’s gone we all feel sort of weird without him. Even though he wasn’t a priest, he still have us a sense of hope. Connie jus’ left; nobody knows where he went an’ he left his pregnant wife. I hope he come back. I really believe that nothing is going to turn out good, but all we can do is hope for the best.
- Tom
