I think that Ma and Pa are holding in their emitions which is unhealthy. According to the text, Jerome said “I worry Ma and Pa will get used to trying not to feel. I think what Jerome said makes it sound like Ma and Pa. Also Grandma and Kim aren’t afriad to share their emitions with eachother but Ma and Pa try not to talk about it and try to forget about it.

I think that Sarah is covering up for her dad. According to the text, she think that her dad shooting Jerome was a mistake. Also, she says that he was just doing his job. The thing that I hate so much about this is she knows that he did it on purpose and just because he is her dad makes everything better. I bet you that she thinks what he did was okay which IT IS NOT and that he mistakenly thought that he was a man and that the toy gun was real. What she is doing makes me angry and that she is just covering up for her dad.

I think that Ma has developed depression. According to the text, Ma was in his bedroom crying while her mom Jerome’s grandma was holding her hand. Also, Ma now sleeps in Jerome’s bedroom. Since Jerome death Ma’s actions make me feel that she is and has developed depression.

I think that Viji was very brave and courageous for going to speak with Appa. According to the text, she said “I’ll see him” and I’m not scared” to Celina Aunty. The way she said that made me feel that she was very brave and that she had a lot a courage. Also, she wasn’t scared to tell Appa to not lay a finger on Amma. Saying that to someone that was and maybe still is abusive shows a lot of bravery and courageousness.

Why did Muthu get sold to one of those “schools?” At the “schools” they would get “taught” how to make handbags. The “owner” would beat them until they bled. When the police raided the place, he got sent to an orphanage. She beat them bad enough that Muthu ran away. Did he hurt do something to his parents or something? Or did his parents need money so they had to sell him to one of the “schools” I wonder if we will ever find out? He didn’t deserve what happen to him.
