The neighbour remembers that the mother informed her that her, “child smacks his cheeks on the floor” (15) yet he does not look clumsy. It is not possible for both cheeks to be hit on the floor at the same time while falling on the floor therefore the mother is lying. It represents her dishonest and how she would neglect her child to fabricate a suitable image of herself and family in front of others to protect her reputation. Not to mention, the mother veils her son’s burns by stating, “sparks burn starts in his skin” (22). Sparks cannot burn star shapes into skin and it shows the destruction of a vulnerable life. The abuse does not benefit anyone and will influence the child emotionally and physically yet she is not doing anything to support him. Moreover, things are not always the way they seem, which is proven through, “the cast that holds his small bones” (24-25). The injuries that the mother utilizes to conceal the abuse would not break his bones, but damage his skin. The mother does not give her child the proper care to heal from the abuse nor does she show concern. The description portrays his weakness and innocence because he does not deserve it yet other children are supported by their kinds mothers. His mother chooses to act as if there is everything is perfect and ignores her child and mistake of abusing

Ms. Barbay stated Mr. Sterling’s father has stated in the past that neither one of the parents deserve the

They were to ignore him when acted out or became disruptive and praise him when he behaved in an acceptable manner. In a sense, this made every one of the kids in his class one of Sean’s teachers. They were forced to accept that Sean could get away with doing things that would have landed them in the principal’s office. Kathy would have to spend significant amounts of extra time working with Sean when teaching him how to do something the other children had learned in five minutes two weeks ago.

Adeline comes home from her first week of kindergarten, all smiles because she had been chosen to lead the class and has received a medal and a certificate for her achievement. Her aunt Baba is full of pride and files the certificate and medal in her safe deposit box. She described the certificate as “some precious jewel impossible to replace” (page 2). Adelines academic achievements are how she eventually gains acceptance within an uncaring family. She had a lot of pride over the metal it shows the sadness she is facing everyday, with her siblings hating her achievements and her dad only caring when she receives them. “I was winning the medal every week and wearing it constantly. I knew this displeased my siblings, especially Big Sister and Second Brother, but it was the only way to make Father take notice and be proud of me” (page 15). Adeline starts to mature when she starts to realize that her achievements should only matter if it makes her happy, not just her father. Adeline's parents threaten to move her to a far away school. Adeline is elected class president. Everyone is excited, her classmates and more importantly her. Her classmates decide to celebrate at her house and this is when her parents lash out and get
