But can true love forgive every mistake made? When all seems lost and hope is seldom seen, She believes City is strong and will stand up to the scene. So instead of needing approval, don't let your feelings play. Trust that your courage will lead you away. Just listen to your heart and find your own way, And belief in the power of love will light up your day. Love may not fix all your problems and fears, But having it nearby will always keep your spirits near. It will bring a smile to your face when deep sorrow nears, Though your journey may be tough, with love you have no peers.

A lot of the interactions that Lavander has especially, with City include lots of satire.

I feel that Kiese Laymon used satire to reveal characters and their character traits.

For example, “One Sentence” introduces City and Lavender. It speaks on the aspects of the relationship and tension between City and Lavender. It also reveals how satire is used to reveal the very negative behavior and attitude Lavander has. To add, “Chitlin City” mentions Shalaaya. Shalaaya and City turn out to actually have a lot of things in common.

What if 1985-2013 represents a date of death?
