Allegory: Working hard, and fighting for what you believe in will bring you success.
Onomatopoeia: "Whap! Thump! Whump!" These are some of the sounds the book states when a group of people are getting beat up.
Foreshadowing: This book foreshadows that after Obama is inaugurated as president that African Americans hard work for fighting for their rights has finally paid off.
Mini Lesson: I would use this graphic novel in my classroom to compare other books in the Civil Rights Movement and to right a paper on some of the different experiences people had during this era. (Rosa would be another book students would read in conjunction to this)
