Mrs. Michelle starts to cry. It is late at night and Martha comes into Mrs.Michelle's room to see what happened. Martha: What happened mom? Mrs. Michelle:I just got a letter form your father about D-day. He says there were a lot of gun fire. He got shot on the left leg. Martha: WHAT!!! Is he okay?! Is he still alive?! Will his leg be amputated?!Mrs. Michelle: No his leg will not be amputated. He just won't be able to walk with it for a while. He says he's okay. Martha: So what happened on D-day? Mrs. Michelle: Well our army invaded the mine-strewn beaches of France because it was a rainy day and it was a weekend many Germany soldiers were asleep. Narrator: Just then Amina woke up and heard whispers coming from Mrs. Michelle's room. So she went to see what was going on. When she entered the room Mrs. Michelle stopped talking. Everything went quiet. Amina looked at the tear- stained faces of her sister and her mom. Then she asked quietly. Amina: What's wrong? Mrs. Michelle : Nothing's wrong. Right Martha? Martha: Yea everything's okay. Mrs. Michelle: Let's all go to sleep. Amina: What are you hiding from me? Mrs. Michelle: Nothing sweety, lets go to sleep. I have work tomorrow. Narrator: Later that night Amina kept bugging Martha to tell her what was wrong. After a while she gave up trying. Amina: Our Victory Garden has finally started to grow tomatoes. Martha: Well that took a long time. Amina: At least our hard work finally paid off. What time is Mama going to work tomorrow? Martha: 8:00 p.m. but she might have to go earlier because the other Rosies need more help. Amina: What does she do all day long? Martha: Mama is a bus driver but she goes to the factory to help the other Rosies to rivet things such as airplane noses. Narrator: Soon Mrs. Michelle came into the girls bedroom and told them to close their eyes and go to sleep. ||=  ||

The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote and saw a drastic change in women's fashions, actions and attitudes. Prohibition marked the decade with violence and crime. New inventions such as the radio made it possible for all citizens to listen to jazz, Babe Ruth hitting a home run and radio dramas. ||=   ||
