 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

-Here, she worked as a maid for white families, but found that the work clashed with her independent personality. In 1948, de Jesus became pregnant. This led to her dismissal by the family for which she was a maid, and her only option was to move to a favela (link article). Levine, Robert M. The Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1994)
-(2nd to last paragraph) De Jesus' newfound fame was found to be brief mainly due to the military dictatorship coming into power in 1964 (citation of military dictatorship), which turned people away from socially critical works of literature, such as Quarto de Despejo. Without a propagation of her status to provide income, she eventually was forced to move back to the favela, making the situation even more complicated for her sick son, João. Levine, Robert M. The Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1994)
-Carolina Maria de Jesus had a great cultural impact on Brazil. Her decision to write about the struggles of the community versus strictly about her own struggles was something unprecedented in Brazil and was a perspective that was appreciated internationally. https://www.palmares.gov.br/?p=31849 + Levine, Robert M. The Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1994)
*Remove the contradictory and false statements that José Carlos and João are her youngest. The order will also be corrected according to seniority (João, José Carlos Vera). Additionally change Zé Carlos to José, because Zé is his nickname.

*Insert citation and correct the wording about what she says to the men that tried to run people out of the playground opening. "If you continue mistreating these children, I'm going to put all of your names in my book!" - Cautionary Tale of Carolina Maria de Jesus (pg 55)
