ENGL 2005 Chapter : Knowledge Is Power
Document Summary
Despite the weatherman saying it would be sunny, katelynne felt cold. She stood outside the front door of mommy"s house, trying not to shiver. Even when she heard the bus cough its way back down the street. Katelynne can read at a fourth grade level, mommy"s voice said. She would always tell her friends that, sipping her triangle glass and explaining how katelynne anne parker was going to make it just like her because she was so smart, unlike her son. Knowledge is power, she would say, and between katelynne and bobby, katelynne was always more powerful. Big, clunky pencil letters were buried underneath sharp red marks instead of the soft green ones she"d always gotten. Bobby was the one who got the red marks. Katelynne tried not to remember the screams from his room when. Mommy saw his papers, nearly covered in red ink. She didn"t want whatever happened in bobby"s room to happen in hers.
