ReplyDelete1. What reason does the doctor give for Phyllisia’s not eating? What reason does Calvin
give? Why do you think Calvin begins what Ruby calls “operation foodstrap”?
People said she couldn't eat because she was grieving. Calvin begins "operation foodstrap" because Phyllisia can't eat anymore. There for he scares her into eating, which later works.
2. What news about Randy does Phyllisia hear at Marian’s party? What reason does Phyllisia give for not seeing Edith? What do you think is the real reason?
Phyllisia hears that Edith's brother, Randy, was killed. Phyllisia's reason for not seeing Edith is that she is scared. I think the real reason is that she feels ashamed about what she said when Edith came over to visit her mother.
3. What happens when Calvin sees Ruby with Orlando? How does Phyllisia react to Calvin’s new rules? How has this incident changed her view of Calvin?
He beats Ruby and hits Orlando. Phyllisia doesn't care about Calvin's new rule. Phyllisia knows now that calvin is not always right.
4. How does Phyllisia discover Calvin’s true feelings toward her and Ruby? How does she use this knowledge? At this point, what emotions seem to be controlling Phyllisia?
Phyllisia discovers Calvin's true feelings towards her and and Ruby when Calvin has a discussion about the 2 girls with Mr.Charles and Frank. She uses this knowledge to spot somewhere in him where she can touch and hurt. The emotions that seem to be controlling Phyllisia her anger towards her father and love towards Jose.
5. What does Phyllisia see her father doing at his restaurant? What important truth does
she face after this visit? How does it represent the climax, or turning?
Calvin was very busy at the restaurant. Phyllisia faces the truth that her and her sister will be shipped back home if he doesn't kill Phyllisia first. This represents the climax by leading us on what will happen next.

ReplyDelete1. Doctor said phyl is grieving. Calvin thinks its non-sense. Calvin cares about Phyl so that in order to make her eats, he begins what Ruby calls "operation foodstrap".
2. Phyl heard that Randy was shot to dead by the policeman. Phyl said she doesn't want to see Edith because she was scare of someone in Edith dark hallway might rape her, inject her dope and ruin her life, above all, she was scared Calvin might found out about the visit. But I think she is giving all excuses and lying about her self. The real reason she didn't want to go visit is because she doesn't want to face what is called "shabby" house and Edith.
3. When Calvin sees Ruby with Orlando, Calvin gets so mad and beat up Ruby and hurt Orlando. Phyl. thought new laws are not fair and Calvin didn't listen to them at all. The only thing Calvin doing is making them prisoners. She rebelled against the new laws but it actually makes her find out underlying part of Calvin that he cares about Phyl and Ruby.
4. Phyl discovered that Calvin's feeling are sincere. Calvin wanted to protect them an be his side. But because she know he won't sent them away, Phyl starts to rebel against him. Phyl questioned how can a father be that cruel and mean toward his children.
5. Phyl saw her father serving foods to the people in his restaurant. She finds out that she has been drawing conclusion by herself about Calvin being owned a big restaurant. It turned the point of view and conflict toward Calvin she had had earlier in the book.

ReplyDelete1)The Doctor says that "the spirit" isn't allowing her to eat, Calvin says that it's greif. Calvin begins "operation foodstrap" to get Phylissia to start eating and be healthy again.
ReplyDelete2)He was shot and killed by a police officer, and Phylissia would make up bad scenarios that could happen to her like getting shot and raped or injected with drugs, I believe the real reason she doesn't see Edith because she feels guilty for not seeing Edith for so long, and she is afraid of what Edith's reaction might be.
3)Calvin beats both Orlando and Ruby, and Phylissia didn't care what his new rules were because she can manage them andshe now views him as mainly angry toward Ruby.
4)She duscivers his true feelings by him telling her in a talk, and she uses this knowledge by now taking advantage of his weakness and intending to hurt him, and it seems like Phylissia feels rage and rebellion.
5)Phylissia sees her father serving working class people and drunks, and it made her realize her father was a hyprocrite because he bashed her for being Edith'sfriend and yet allows poor people in his restaurant. This is the turning point because it made her realize she was like her father, in the way that she puts her pride first for good image.
