And it help understand what's going on more because its as if your almost there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314962 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314962 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 21:02:34 -0500 She seems to be comparing what she is taking about to the women she seen where she lives. And even comparing to stray cats. and she says no offense although it seems like a hurtful thing to say. https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314785 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314785 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 18:25:14 -0500 Seems as if she is describing something she sees daily. Letting others imagine what she sees and smells. And showing where she lives which is not fancy and full of rich people but quite the opposite. https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314783 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2314783 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 18:16:32 -0500 I enjoy how specific she is she explains it in a way that you can imagine it.

You may never know why they ask but there is always a reason. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268111 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 02:22:06 -0500 you can tell that Fonny is family to them because of what's stated here she was relived and that's just sweet. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268110 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268110 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 02:19:30 -0500 Fonny is so sweet and caring that you can tell he cant hurt someone i mean everyone can including him but he wont because he cares. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268109 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2268109 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 02:18:17 -0500 Fonny is protective over Tish but not in an over exaggerated way. but in a loving way in the way he doesnt want anything bad to happen to her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2251508 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2251508 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:31:51 -0500 I agree Mrs. Hunt never really liked her or was very fond about her and her son so she wouldn't like this news. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246823 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246823 Wed, 16 Dec 2020 13:27:38 -0500 Fonny and Tish have a sweet relationship especially knowing how they both feel about each other before them getting together. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245067 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245067 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 14:03:31 -0500 Its sorta funny and sweet how both felt that way.

They didn't love each other for sex and only sex which they haven't had yet but because they truly and deeply loved each other, it was more than physical attention but that they both were connected in a way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245062 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245062 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 19:30:54 -0500 I guess that she meant that she imagined that they were gonna have sex together. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245061 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245061 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 16:42:12 -0500 What is Tish talking about? what exactly "Worked"? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241630 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241630 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:54:09 -0500 I'm guessing that she came to the realization that it is actually happening, that her and Fonny are having a baby, https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241629 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241629 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:52:47 -0500 Its very sweet how she considers him family. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241628 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241628 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:50:39 -0500 the justice system was very messed up and it still is messed up and it should change, innocent lives being locked up, dying, while the guilty lives are living freely. I don't see anything right about that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241627 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241627 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:49:52 -0500 My question is we know the reason why he got arrested but what is the fully detailed reason, what exactly did he do? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241626 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:47:53 -0500 I could never do a job like this besides the fact I'm not much of a people person the job seems tiering and I giver her an applause for that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241625 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241625 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:46:23 -0500 Seeing things, sad, or happy can affect where you are later on in the future. the littlest things can impact how things look like in the future. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241624 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241624 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:44:49 -0500 so Fonny was arrested for being his own person. What's sad is that I can believe it and not only because I've learned about racism in these times but because I see it now in days too which is ridiculous considering that were all our own people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241623 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241623 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:42:22 -0500 For being a religious women Mrs. Hunt isn't wat you call holy or a saint because she isn't as good as a mother she may think she is. its disgusting how she thinks that she is raising them the right way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241622 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241622 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:39:55 -0500 Fonny seems like the kid who wanted more didn't do what the others were doing but stuck to himself. So why is he in jail? what did he do that was so bad that they needed to put him jail? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241621 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:38:01 -0500 that's just disgusting how could you tell kids that, kids, and just not feel any remorse everyone is worth something. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241620 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241620 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:36:16 -0500 This is wrong every child deserves to get educated kids are the future if you limit the amount of education a kid gets then what is the future. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241619 Thu, 17 Dec 2020 05:20:38 -0500 I really love how supportive her mother is with telling her to focus on her child and how they will do everything about all the things going on, because that child has to be her first priority now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241618 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241618 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:31:27 -0500 Its sweet and so heart warming to see how supportive her mother is because some don't always get lucky in the mother department and this here shows that there are good moments you just haven't seen it yet. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241617 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241617 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:29:15 -0500 A mother has more than one look they have the, what did you do look, the I already know look, the I'm pissed at you look, the I'm disappointed look, an the I'm proud look. And with just one of those looks you know how to respond or whether you should https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241616 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241616 respond. Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:27:10 -0500 I feel as if a mother always has a feeling that something happened or is going to happen with there kids its almost like their superpowers almost like spiderman cause they always know something before you get the chance to tell them which is funny. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241615 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241615 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:27:04 -0500 It seems that she hasn't told her mom about her being pregnant yet and based on how things are looking at the moment I understand why. Fonny the father of her child is in prison and she's pregnant that's a lot to handle especially for her right now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241614 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241614 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:22:19 -0500 It crazy how they went from not being friends to being best friends to being together to then moving in together.

It just goes to show how fast things can change in a span of time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241612 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2241612 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:16:39 -0500 Baldwin uses his words to where I can almost hear what's happening because we already know that Mrs. Hunt is very passionate about church so him saying that she started crying out makes you understand how she cried out. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234306 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234306 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:23:55 -0500 How come Fonnys mom wants him to be in church and doesn't give him a choice whether he wants to go or stay but doesn't wake him up early to make sure he goes to Sunday school https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234021 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234021 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 13:03:31 -0500 It seems as if the women are scared of the men actions when under the influence of weed and alcohol.
