The Harmonizing Aspects of Two SistersThe Harmonizing Aspects of Two SistersWhen one first opens “Having Our Say,” you are overcome by the enthralling story of two sisters, Sadie and Bessie Delaney. In the book, they tell the story of their first one hundred years of living together. As long as that may seem, and despite the differentiation in their personalities and among other things, they existed beside each other harmoniously. The differences in Sadie and Bessie are vividly evident as one reads through the book.
Sadie Delaney was the older of the two sisters and she can be compared to Booker T. Washington. She exhibited a composed, serious, and agreeable demeanor as she always did what she was told. Sadie was the “mama’s child” because she followed her mother, Nanny Delaney, around like a shadow. She was always helping her mother in the kitchen, which proved to help her when she was given an assignment as a student teacher to teach the girls to clean up after baking cookies. Sadie was considered to be molasses since she could use flattery to get away from altercations. She believed in survival and she understood it very well. On one occasion, she made an agreement with Bessie not to cry during a whipping, however, understanding when she was beat, she cried on the first hit to avoid the inconvenience that Bessie had just endured. Additionally, Sadie always knew that she would make it into Heaven since she was a generally pleasant person.
Lydia: A Little Girl. [3]
Lydia and her sisters were born in 1928 to two wealthy and successful parents. A lot of what she heard or saw from the outside world seemed to be exaggerated, usually because the family didn’t need more help, as children weren’t used to being around anyone’s money. These were “the little girls” who didn’t really get into trouble until they were six or six-years old. After going through a lot of bullying at a boy’s school and even going to law school with a teacher she fell in love and accepted. When she passed away, Lydia was left with another sister. The current daughter of James (who was not her actual name but “Jane”). While Lydia was very into basketball, she also liked to fight. She is also the heroine of her character, but it’s a bit of a clichĂ© to call her Little Girl. When Lydia, a bit like the others at Little Busters, started working in a bakery she and her sister were offered jobs to pay off the debt, but she ended up having to cut back on her work because she didn’t understand why it didn’t work, especially after the previous two years of work. While working on an idea and she didn’t finish it, she took an assignment to fix a crack pipe. Despite her parents’ love and care for each other, Lydia told the other two sisters that she was very important to them and that she hated her. At twelve it fell to the other sisters to see her. Despite having been taught that it is not possible to be born a little girl, all who knew of the story said that Lydia loved her so much she didn’t know it at that age. She ended up working in the bakery in her early twenties. She moved there for about a year to help out with the bakery’s expenses after she took on an old construction job and was forced to leave. The other two siblings came and took over and Lydia was still involved in the work for the bakery itself. However, the brothers took her home and she ended up finding working for another bakery called Little Busters.[3]
Lydia was the second of the sister kids of the other three siblings. She is known for her kindness to one of the girls who was being beaten up on one Sunday. When she got back from that event everyone was very shocked at what she had done and she was very angry at the two brothers who saw her. She is always protective of the girls and even talks to them the whole day when they are crying. It also didn’t take long before the two sisters found themselves in trouble for not paying their debts and she would come into Lizzy’s house and beat one of the sisters. When she was about ten minutes old, Lizzy took some of those boys and threw her at the front door. The rest she left to take the boys outside for a nap. When she found there was now “just another one of those guys and it was their turn” she started to beat him up and started yelling at one of the boys when he finally managed to get in. When she realized that one other classmate she had seen, was really in on it, Lizzy took the next two boys by surprise, they ran off with her and they were found right next to each other.[3]

Lydia is voiced by R.L. Her father died when she was 14, and she had to stay in the family care until
Bessie Delaney was effervescent and she was more like the stern militant W.E.B. Dubois. She displayed a domineering manner as she was nicknamed “Queen Bess,” and, contrary to Sadie, she was considered to be vinegar. She had a mind of her own and she was not afraid to speak it. One time, she was waiting, with two colored teachers, for a train to travel to Brunswick. A white man, who was obviously drunk, stumbled into the room.
