In chapter 11, Mrs. Tibbits and Ben just get back from toad watching because it was raining. Mrs. Tibbits tells Ben the reason why her sister-in-law wants to sell the house. Developers want to purchase the property to build on it. Ben realizes this is not good because the Spadefoot toads are endangered and if developers indeed purchase the property and build there, the spadefoot toads will no longer be able to lay their eggs and will probably become extinct. Ben is trying to hatch a plan to help Mrs. Tibbits in this situation.
Discrimination in work places/ school. Passing laws that black children cannot wear their natural hair in its natural state because it it seen as too distractive or unprofessional and untamed. Also making rules that black girls cannot wear braids because they “aren’t professional”. Cutting dreads out of little black boys hair because they “aren’t appropriate” or telling them they can’t walk across the stage to receive their diploma unless they cut their dreads off
