The reader feels a connection with her pain, yet realizes redemption lies close at hand. Whereas Walker tells how she was confronted by her parents, Angelou explains,” she [mother] picked me up in her arms and the terror abated for a while." There is no impression of combativeness.

“I know I’m a fool. But I cannot help it. I haven’t the courage to live for myself. My own life is knocked out of me. No wonder Father called me the burden bearer.” This was regarding Bessie, this shows how Bessie’s life was shaped through the influence of religious teachings, forcing herself to stay loyal to the societal expectation and giving up her personal pursuits. She calls herself the “burden bearer” because it was the religion and/or societal teaching for females in Judaism should dedicate their lives to men’s.

As I read through the beginning of the book, I was continuously vexed by how careless Julio and Romiette behaved around gangs. By analyzing the pair's’ actions, we can infer that they don't see The Devildogs as a serious threat. This excerpt is a magnificent example of that. This passage describes how Julio and Romiette respond to a potentially dangerous situation with careless actions.

Not only would common sense tell them this is not a good idea, but also the fact that Julio moved away from Texas to escape gangs. You would think that these combined factors would encourage Romiette and especially Julio to take gangs as a serious threat.

She answers the question, but she doesn’t think about the depth to the question. She just skims to find the answer.

The story is showing Sophie on her way to finding the answers to the world’s most unanswered questions. Whether or not she will find them, who knows? There will be sad things passing through your life, but that doesn’t mean that you will become a sad person. Your life does not become sad because of sad moments. If you think about how the past has dealt with bad situations, you can find better ways to get through them. If you don’t ever think about the past, you are determined to repeat it. You will only focus on what is right in front of you, instead of looking past your comfort zone into the world. Passage: I don’t want you to end up in such a sad state. I will do what I can to acquaint you with your historical roots. It is the only way to become a human being. It is the only way to become more than a naked ape.
