Ruth is like the bird who flies because like the bird who flies that her mameh describes, she doesn't like being trapped in her home our in any one place, she was always on the move, even later on in her life in her old age, james described her as always being in the process of moving. It was a part of her personality, and like the bird who flies she was innocent and naive getting in the hands of evil people like Rocky the pimp. When ruth was a child she loved running around, and running out of the house, feeling the breeze flow through her hair.

“They’ve got expensive doctors to cure their hearts of stone” in the book ruths family on her moms side helps her but they only do the bare minimum. They don’t even help their sister (ruths mom) even though they have so much money. Meaning they have hearts of stone (cold hearted). - manpreet
