Hardly the most exciting job, but the salary was nearly double my paycheck at the library." This quote reminds us that Mona is looking for a brighter future for her and her kids, looking for a job that would bring closer to her family and away from the gang life. this is an example of the theme because Mona was a single mother and abused with a gang background and everyone looked at her poorly. She had second thoughts if she would ever be anything, but Mona proved herself, working 2 jobs and training nightly. She became a meter maid and is now working above her own expectations.]]> 2022-11-16 06:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386123983 4248501 https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386132925 This quote "All our money was being used to feed his drug appetite, and I was worried I'd have no money to buy groceries." It reminds us that Frank is not using the money he is making well and spending it on drugs instead of providing for his family. This is an example of the theme because Frank when he first met Mona was a very well put together young teen, smoking occasionally and drinking with his homies. But as they continued Frank got worse and got his hands on bad drugs and made him lash out and become abusive. ]]> 2022-11-16 07:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386132925 4248501 https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386137206 this is an example of the theme because Mona is an outlier in her life. She came up from a different starting point then most people in the narcotics office. But even with Mona's upsets she still pushed to get to her dreams even though she came from the absolute bottom she made it. ]]> 2022-11-16 07:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386137206 4248501 https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386153504 2022-11-16 07:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4248501/mzxdpbhofivl61ld/wish/2386153504
