Racine We Were Friends.

“I told you sweetie, she is in a better place right now. She won’t be coming home.” She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. “That’s not fair! Why would he leave us?” “It wasn’t her fault baby girl,” I say tearing up. “I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!” Amelia starts screaming. “You can’t see her!” I shout back.

Page - 51: “I wished that she hadn’t made that stupid U-tur, I wished that I had a dad, I wished that Roxanne Diamond loved me.”

“Off course Momma E.” I smile to her as we finish embracing. I turn to Eli as he guides us towards the exit. All I can think is how everything went down tonight. Nino telling me he loves is just fill with bullshit to me. Marie confronting Eli that her baby might be Eli’s is heart breaking. I’m waiting for us to get home so we can talk it out about this party. I hope Eli tells me about what happen between him and Marie, because that will tell me if he’s really into me, if he really wants a relationship with me.

It would have been unacceptable and annoying”(541). While still completely sane, she admits that her feelings for Robert are nothing more than a friendship but changes her mind once she decides she no longer wants to be tied down to anyone. She becomes extremely flustered when she finds out about Robert leaving for Mexico she states “The idea of Robert starting of in such a ridiculously sudden and dramatic way!”(568). This is where “she recognized anew the symptoms of infatuation”(569), basically admitting that she had no serious thoughts about him, just an infatuation which she blows way out of proportion while he is away, so much so as to think she is actually in love with him when he returns. Possibly though, a big reason as to why she begins to feel that way is because she envies his ability to just pack up and leave on a moment’s notice. She already has begun to long for a change in her life, and something like that would not only be adventurous to her, but also fulfill her longing for something different than the life she is stuck in. She tells a story to her husband and the Doctor while dining one night “of a woman who paddled away with her lover one night in a pirogue and never came back”(589), how so then, would this be any different. She only wants something new, and

Seeing a person she completely looked up to, showing signs of weakness was too much for her to handle. "My father was a strong man who could whisk a child upon his shoulders and go singing through the house. “How could it be that my father was crying?” The world had lost its boundary lines. My mother, who was small and soft, was now the strength of the family; my father, who was the rock on which the family had been built, was sobbing like the tiniest child” Where did I fit into this broken picture?

In the story “Recitatif” by Tone Morrison, it is about two women who have an issue of remembering what happened to a lady, Maggie, who had an accident when they are children. They go to the same state home, “St. Bonny’s” (201), when they are eight. Their mothers could not take care of them because Twyla’s “mother danced all night and Roberta’s was sick” (201). Twyla, who tells the story, has not seen her friend since childhood, suggesting she does not know Roberta like she think she does. Roberta is a confused woman who has not gotten over what happened to Maggie and her mind is creating false memories of the incident.

In the short story Killings by Andre Dubus, Ruth is portrayed as a secondary character. Since Ruth is the mother of Frank, it would seem evident that she would be involved in revenge. Ruth’s sadness over Frank’s death is Matt’s justification to pursue the killing, but she is never directly involved in Matt’s plot for revenge. In the film In the Bedroom by Todd Feel, Ruth’s character plays a much larger role in the overall story. She has substantial influence over the actions of the other characters in the story. When Ruth sees Richard in the market, she is so distraught by the event that she ends up influencing Matt’s decision to kill Richard. Ruth’s emotional presence is Matt’s justification to carry out with the killing, and her physical presence is even more impactful. When she is present, the reason that Matt develops a plan to kill Richard becomes more evident. Her emotions are straining her relationship with Matt, and he can not put her in the background. Matt feels that something must happen in order to mend Ruth’s emotional state, so he decides to take matters into his own hands.

Within 5 years, the couple’s relationship seemed to take a harsh turn. Robert was spending long hours at the office, and Maggie began to get worried. She started to get suspicious that Robert was seeing someone else.

R/s there is a concern that Dannie (13) is being abused by her mother, Latasha. R/s Latasha calls the police on Dannie because she wants the child to be sent off to Columbia.

He told Racine that Roxie had fallen into her trap intentionally. Of course they had spoken in code about it and when Robert made this statement to Racine she wanted to turn back the hands of time. By the first anniversary of Robert’s incarceration, Racine, was already laying the bricks to get him out and she was glad she was able to keep Robert’s spirits up. She told him nobody has the 165 million to buy the business and it was getting harder to maintain the vault. There were more impending charges to sanction against her if she could not unload this business without the help of Roxie and Robert. Tonight the tears had long since dried. Tonight Racine leaned back in the white lazy boy, allowing her long black hair to fall over the white easy chair as the music for Love and Hip Hop Atlanta let her know her favorite show was going off now. Her new boyfriend Juice left her an hour ago after having great sex. Every time she fucked him she thought about what Robert said. Nobody did it to her like him though and Juice had kind of snuck up on her after Robert’s incarceration. Tonight It was raining hard in Piedmont, California as she admired her new emerald green manicured fingers that matched her green eyes. She sipped her OJ actually missing the days when she and Roxie used to watch this reality shit together and had analyzed these sorry ass bitches on a now failed YouTube

When Page got home that night she spoke of Racine the way Racine had instructed her too with only her father. Immediately – Racine became protective of her sister recognizing immediately – she was the only thing she had left in this life now that ICE was gone. With Juice willing to pick up the pieces, Robert Bentley was forever concentrated in jail he was disintegrated by levels of importance in her life– her mother was dead and her sister’s care was ambiguous at best. Racine marked Dana Ann as a true culprit and she wanted to tell her how badly she had hurt

Enough was enough. From her compound in Vacaville, California – Racine wanted to look pretty tonight when she saw Don Jr. and Juice for the last time. She’d had better relations with her father who insisted on helping her clean up her life.

She comes to meet a man named Robert, with whom

She was nervous about Robert
