Zak G's third post chapters 10-(through)14

I think that she has really no opinion of the city, it is just another canvas that she walks the length of every day.  I think that her main focuses are in books as she says that at one point they even out way Bailey, her own brother and the one she loves most.  One thing I want to point out is the explicitly drawn out details of Maya's encounters of Mr. Freeman.  Most importantly a simple, I was raped and it sucked would have sufficed, but no, the author had to lay out every single agonizing detail in front of the reader, I wanted to just put the book down at the first encounter and never even acknowledge it again, and If this really is an autobiography than I feel really sorry for the author, but I mean come on, she could have left out the details of the "thing"!   I was glad when Mr. Freeman died, sick bastard got what he deserved!  Sorry for the rage, that part just really got to me.  Anyhow I also thought that it was really wrong that Maya and Bailey were sent back to Stamps just because Maya would not talk, even the whippings she got were way to harsh, she had just gone through something horrendous, and even if she hadn't it is her own business why she does not want to talk, plus they are family so that was even more harsh.
