I experience the argument from and careness of one another. Also I experience the kindness to some other people and try to help each other in difficult times.
This can be similar to my fight when we argue sometimes when we get mad but later we forgive each other and reconcile.
I learned that the mom was too lazy to cook and she would rather paint instead of feeding for her family.

You shouldn´t be in this antiseptic joint

What was happening is that Rex wants to get her out of the hospital so that she can be home peacefully.

This Qoute stands that to me because he cared about her and did not want her to be in the hospital for that long.

Formalist Lens

I chose the event where she is at the hospital after her skin got burned by cuts and bruises. I chose this event because it shows how much they care about her since they want her to heal from the injury she has. These feelings evoke me because it shows how much they show love to a person they care about.

Social Class Lens

The family is unaware that they don ´ t have enough money and are considered poor. They were born in poverty and the sad truth is that the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich which is a sad moment for the family. Their poverty is the state of being extremely poor and being in a lower social class.

Jeannette adapts to be being bullied by ignoring and leaving her children. she adapts by her lack of nutrition by eating food that other people do not want. Jeannette leaves the bullies so that they can stop bothering her so that she can get the food she wants.

Jeannette said, we were always supposed to pretend our life was one long and incredibly fun adventure. This shows she is making fantasies in her mind by having fun. Also this shows she wanted to have fun with others by going into adventures.

qoute

I chose this Quote, where it said, ¨Mom Said Plus we were not allowed to talk. Since it was illegal to ride in the back, anyone who heard us might call the cops¨ (48). This Quote stands out to me because the dad is trying to scare them so that no mistakes are made from them.

Motif

384001878 — 2025-02-19 19:42:20 UTC

The dad drinks a lot and this affects them because he is the head of the family and should provide for them always. The Mom is too lazy too cook and prefers painting instead of cooking for her children and this affects them because they can starve to death if they do not eat any food. Lori said, ¨I don´t think that will be enough,¨ she said.¨ (67).

I do not relate to this section because I have enough, I learned they do not have enough food to survive. They need to have enough more money to survive. I learned that the daughter should become a mature person and get a job to earn money and provide for herself and her family.
