Ellie Simmons said...: I agree with Brant, none of the children look happy, but it also took 10 minutes to take a picture, so smiling would have been difficult. Also you can see the military style dress making the students appear like prisoners.; March 9, 2009 at 3:09 PM

Maryclaire said...: do they ever say in the book if the kids at Willie Sherman have to wear uniforms?; March 10, 2009 at 12:41 PM
rbreaux said...: it might be applied. they are all given clothes it sounds like. i don't know if they are uniform or army surplus.; March 10, 2009 at 3:06 PM
Emily A said...: I think its pretty interesting how the boys and girls are seperated, as Rachel said, just like at Willie Sherman; two lines, one of boys and one of girls. It reminds me of Catholic school.

I don't know if they wear uniforms at Willie Sherman but I think they just wear whatever they have and if they don't have any clothes, like Edgar, they wear whatever hand-me-downs they get.; March 11, 2009 at 10:21 AM
Jessica Deckard said...: Government run schools often have uniforms because they are cheap, so that's a good thing to wonder about. Edgar doesn't have much of anything, but I think his clothes come from Art exclusively.; March 12, 2009 at 1:55 PM
