I think that Maya was a little more intimidated by being in a new city with new people then hopeful. Also it occurred to me that this is the author's childhood because the main character has the same name as the author, coincidence?... I think not. Also I do think something bad will happen as sexual molestation is mentioned a couple times through the book, so maybe something like that will happen. Also it is mentioned that Maya was adopted so I think that is probably why she is a little bit more intimidated than Bailey who is the "blood child" (it sounds scary but I just mean that those are his real parents). I have to say though that I am a little disappointed in the book so far, it just seems to me like another coming of age story, I thought that it would be cooler than this. The title "I know why the Caged Bird Sings." kind of implied to me something like a jailed story or something like that, but when it was about a girl growing up. I get that she is trying to explain the hardships of black people back then, it is just that this is not my kind of book.
