Explanation:

''Flygirl'' is a novel by Sherri Smith and it is following a life journey of one young black woman called Ida Mae Jones. Her father was a pilot and her dream was to fly but she always taught that she does not have a chance for that. She got her chance when America entered World War II and she passed the pilot test of the WASP which was Women Airforce Service Pilots.

  • The biggest poverty in the book and in all beautiful events that happened to her since she passed the pilot test, got two friends and lived she dreamed that she was able to do that only by pretending that she is a white girl.

When her mother wanted to visit her she was pretending that she is a maid so the other people would not notice that she is actually a black-skinned girl.

  • In this novel, the main character is not experiencing absolute poverty, she is experiencing relative poverty. If she wasn't pretending that she is white-skinned she wouldn't be able to fly, met new friends there or be educated.
