Project Mulberry

When reading Project Mulberry I thought it was interesting how much Julia did not like being a part of her heritage. Everything her mother did that had to do with her culture would make her angry. She did not want to eat the food her mother cooked and she originally did not want to do the worm project with Patrick because she thought it had too much to do with her family back home raising the worms. I also thought it was interesting how the thought of racism was brought up. The mother seemed to have a problem with the fact the Mr. Dixon was a black man and Julia thought she had a problem with her old teacher that was also black. It bothered my though that this was never answered whether or not she was or was not racist. When I got to the end of the book I was a little disappointed that no answer was given and it remained a mystery. I did not like being left in the dark about that situation because I didn’t think there was any point in it.
