In chapter 10 Maya talks about a situation that happens with her mother and Pat Patterson. She speaks about how one night Mr. Patterson mad a mistake on cursing at her mother. After the incident Mayas mother mentions it to her siblings (Mayas uncles) and grandfather. Mayas uncles were known for being protective and mean when it came to their family. Maya never seen her uncles and grandfather furious which thrilled her to see how mean her family really was. Her uncles and grandfather run into Mr. Patterson which wasn't very good. They beat him and let him know that he has made a mistake by cursing at their sister.



Response: I loved this part even though it was violent. It showed me what the meaning of family is and how protective they were for one another. I like that, because I my self have a family that is protective over one another. Their mean also but don't harm anyone. My siblings and I were raised knowing family is always first that their isn't anything compared than family. So I actually liked the fact the Mayas family weren't scared to stick up for their own. As I myself am the way Mayas uncles are I don't like anyone messing or cursing at my siblings they mean more than anything whether they are older or younger than me their my blood but most importantly my family.
