When she arrived at school she was greated by a large mob of people. This mob of people was holding up posters saying things like "white only" or "white school". She sat in the pricipals office for most of the day. There were people walking in and out of the office all day long. While they enter the office the parents say things like '' She's not really going to go to school here is she." They say these rude words loudly in front of ruby probably trying to bring down her confidence.
When ruby left school people tried to hit her. Everyone shouted at her and called her names. She turned to them to say a prayer to god. She asked for him to forgive these people has he did to others in the past. Every day was just like the day before although ruby was a bit scared she still put on a brave face and went to school every day.
