Members Present: Judy, Luneil, Patty, Karen, Joyce S, and Hardarshan Valia
Zoom meeting started promptly at 6:30 PM.
PATTY, read Chapters 26. Chapter 23. This chapter
described her everyday trip to Montmartre, the place she hated. However, on her
way she would see horse-driven carts with pre-fabricated panels heading to
Eiffel Tower that would give her strength. After all Eiffel Tower was the Iron
Lady that instilled iron-will power in her too! One practice she developed was
taking food for Rene, Amelie, and Rat. Vienne was able to convince the carriage
driver to take carriage through her old street where she was thrilled to see
displays dedicated to her on her favorite window shops.
LUNEIL and JUDY, shared Chapters 8 and 9 entitled
“Enter the Bullies,” “Feelings.” In these chapters, Ryleigh and Lottie tried to
get information about the incident at the tournament that affected Michael’s
behavior. They came across boys who were friendlier with Michael but their
conversations did not provide any answers. Then they encountered some other
boys named Jacob, Tom, and Smitty who were not only mean but spoke with racial
overtone. When Tom grabbed Rayleigh’s hat off, that made Ryleigh pretty mad.
She also did tit for tat by pulling off Tom’s red cap. Soon after they both
fled to Rayleigh’s home where her brother Brain and her two friends who were
playing basketball were good enough to force the three boys to retreat back to
where they came from. One thing is commendable in how Luneil and Judy
introduced the sensitive issue of race in a non-preachy way.
HARDARSHAN VALIA read his poem entitled, “Exodus at an
Alzheimer Care unit wherein the newly admitted preacher ends up giving sermon
to fellow inhabitants of the care unit.
JOYCE S., who was attending Memoir Writing class by Judy first time attended Magic Hour Writer’s meeting. She is interested in developing writing skills with confidence.
