Zakaria's 7th Post

I have found a connection; the war in this book reminds me
of the war that was going on at the end of the book Fahrenheit 451. She and
some of the other people don’t seem to care that much about the war but more
about themselves, just as the way the people in Fahrenheit 451 acted when the
war was started. Something else that is crazy is that she is starting to feel at
home with all the chaos that is going on. But that seems to fit here pessimistic
life style. I found it crazy that Maya would side with the con men with Daddy Clidell
just because they conned white people, it just adds to all the racism in this
book. Because of the way the author made Maya’s dad seem at the beginning of
the book I thought that he was going to be like some big businessman but he is
actually just a guy who goes to Mexico to get drunk. Something that occurred to
me is that Maya’s mom and dad are exact opposites. No wonder why they had a divorce.
Another connection that I have found is that Maya seems to have problems with
her parent’s girl and boyfriends. She had a bad experience with Mrs. Freeman
and with her dad’s girlfriend. It is sad that her parents’ happiness sometimes destroys
her happiness. What do you think Zak? Do you think she always has problems with
her parent’s friends? I need to know what you think.
