Journal #3

PART 1: I researched a little bit on Walter Francis White. Walter Francis White was an African-American civil rights activist. He was one of the founders of the Harlem Renaissance. Zora Neale Hurston accused him for stealing costumes from her play, The Great Day. He never returned the costumes, even after she mailed and pleaded him. He led the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Walter White joined this staff in 1918 and led from 1931 to 1955. He recruited a bunch of people and set up the Legal Defense Fund.

PART 3: Story

         Walter Francis White and Biblo (White's imaginary dream character) are in an argument. Biblo is trying to tell Walter to return to Zora Neale Hurston's costumes in the play, The Great Day. He will not return them and found himself arguing with his conscious in his dream.

"Returned you must costumes to Zora." Biblo told Walter while slanting his eyebrows in a concerned manner.
"No, I will not return them. They are mine now." replied Walter.
"Gurted Zora's feelinqus, you are," responded Biblo quickly, " Gurted people's feelinqus do you like?"
"Of course I don't. A man like me, who has been fighting for African-American rights, proves i care for others." Walter said with a face that looked like he just won a debate.
"Cared you did not about Zora's feeliqus fen?" Bilbo asked curiously.
"Must you keep on pushing my buttons?" Walter asked while clenching his fists.
"Yes. Would I," while starring and daydreaming about Zora, Biblo said."Was Zora now currently a lovely person."
"I know she is. I care about her a ton. She is a wonderful lady." said Walter.
"Read the same book you are not. Liked her, if you did, keeped her costumes you did fen?" asked Biblo.
"Fine already!" screamed Walter, "You are driving me crazy!"
"Feeze Walter. Cooled down and fiving your frandma a visit." Biblo said sarcastically.
"Alright Biblo. Do you really want to know why I have taken Zora's costumes?" Walter asked Biblo calmly.
"Yes. Say to me. Fought everybody fat you was alien minded." Biblo told Walter.
"Well, you see Biblo..:" Walter started to explain why he is not retuning the costumes.
"Was fis better be!"rudely interrupting Walter, Biblo shouted while Walter was still talking.
"Okay, be quiet and listen! So, the reason why I have not returned Zora her cost..." Boom! A bunch of members from the Ku Klux Klan broke into Walter's house and woke him up.
"Are you Walter Francis White?" shouted a member.
