The bucket of paint was the straw that broke the camels back. Maddy Washington was a force to be reckoned with and the students at Springville High didn’t know what they were up against. 

This story seemed fairly familiar, but Tiffany definitely added her own touch to it. 

Kenny fell, Wendy guilty, and Jules just stupid. 

Racism always ended I some sort of tragedy. Guess Maddy did what Maddy needed to do. After all, she told them to stop. 

Great read, great integration of interview and articles within the text!
