2. "My father looked.....with Northern plates."
Pg. 37 Par. 2

I chose this passage because the father is explaining to his daughter why the policeman had treated him that way and why they couldn't drink out of the water
fountains or eat in the restaurants.

What does the family wish they could do?

Answer: That they could drive to the south and not see any signs or be stopped by policeman just for having Northern plates and driving a cadillac.
