Fri, 08 Jan 2021 19:35:30 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2266986 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2266986 Sharon wasn't giving her false promises, but was giving her advice. she was telling her that the only way anything ever gets done is when she makes up her mind to do it, to do everything she can, instead of sitting there hoping everything will be ok. Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:16:56 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2266982 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2266982 I think Fonny is just upset about his situation and how helpless he feels that he cant't do anything about it. I bet he appreciates Tish and her family a lot, but he's just really stressed out in jail. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 17:46:44 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2264756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2264756 Maybe he's scarred of what people in power were able to do to him, to get him to pay for a crime that he never committed. and maybe he's scared that it could happen again. Thu, 07 Jan 2021 19:35:00 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2264754 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2264754 is he saying that the police have the power to do whatever they want and get innocent people locked in jail for a crime they never committed? is that what happened to him? and also what will happen to Fonny? Fri, 08 Jan 2021 09:37:14 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2262598 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2262598 does she mean that he doesn't often see people he recognizes? that he doesn't often see his old friends or people he grew up with when he was younger? is that why he was so happy to see Fonny? Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:07:08 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2262590 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2262590 are they talking about Mrs. Rogers? or are they talking about her family, someone related to her? Thu, 14 Jan 2021 08:00:57 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2260811 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2260811 why are the people responsible, trying so hard to change the truth? why are they trying to change what happened? what will they benefit from putting an innocent man in jail? Thu, 07 Jan 2021 21:25:30 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2260662 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2260662 What were Joseph and Fonny talking about that they had to go to a different room? were they talking about Fonny's plans of how to take care of Tish? Was Joseph giving Fonny advice? Wed, 06 Jan 2021 13:42:13 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2254289 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2254289 What about Fonny’s tone of voice made her look at him sharply and come full awake? Was Fonny’s tone very serious? Did he sound as if he was planning to say something life changing? Wed, 06 Jan 2021 13:42:13 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250169 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250169 Ernestine truly cares about Tish and protects her from Fonny's mother and sisters. she is trying her best to get Fonny out of jail, even though she won't have anything to benefit from it. Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:36:09 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250168 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250168 maybe Sharon and Ernestine wanted to stay up to discuss what they should do especially because Fonny's family doesn't care about him. and If Tish is there, she would feel stressed out and mad at how Fonny's family doesn't care about what Fonny's going through and won't help to get him out of jail. Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:31:51 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250167 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250167 I'm saying this because she doesn't really care about Fonny, she doesn't care that he's stuck in jail, and in the paragraphs before this, she'd rather worship her religion then make sure Fonny is safe, she doesn't care what's happening to Fonny or where he is. Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:22:13 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250166 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250166 why can't she explain why she is so against the baby and why she refuses to take care of it? she keeps on saying “That child,”, but what about that child? Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:17:00 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250164 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250164 Ernestine helps to put alcohol on Mrs. Hunt's temples and forehead to make her feel better, the very thing her daughters Adrienne and Sheila should be doing, instead of just standing there and blaming people. Ernestine helps instead of treating her badly even when she just cursed her family. it's evident that Ernestine doesn't hold grudges and treats people the way she wants to be treated, the very opposite of Mrs.Hunt. Sun, 20 Dec 2020 17:14:25 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250145 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250145 Ernestine is warning Adrienne, that if she touches her sister, she'll beat her up. I don't think she's specifically talking about her Adams apple, but is just using that as a way to say she'll hurt her really bad. Sun, 20 Dec 2020 16:00:23 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250144 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250144 is she saying that it's Fonny's fault for being in jail because he didn't study? but how would reading and studying when he should have stopped him from getting locked up? if he did read and study when he should have, then where would he be right now? Sun, 20 Dec 2020 15:53:26 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249993 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249993 What does she mean by “Holy ghost”? Is she referring to Fonny’s mother’s God? And what does she mean by “She was frightened: in spite of the power of the Holy Ghost.”? Is she saying that even though she trusts in her God she still can’t shake off her fright? Tue, 22 Dec 2020 10:53:52 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246141 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246141 Fonny has a lot of imperfections, and many things about him that wouldn't be considered beautiful, but Tish still thinks he's the most beautiful person she has seen in all her life. Tish looks beyond his imperfections and doesn't judge him based on his looks. She loves Fonny for who he is. Wed, 16 Dec 2020 08:42:09 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246138 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246138 Tish and her family were jokingly talking about how Fonny's mom and sisters always dress fancy, and the reason why they didn't have much clothes was because Joseph didn't run a tailor shop. but then Tish started to think about her relationship with Fonny I wonder what made her thought of that because it didn't have anything to do with the topic of the conversation. Wed, 16 Dec 2020 08:35:36 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246050 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246050 I felt this way because Tish says, “ I look as though I can’t make it, she looks like can’t nothing stop her” she’s saying her dad may have protected and helped her more because she is more fragile. He didn’t do that to her sister because he knows she can stand up for herself. Tue, 19 Jan 2021 10:34:29 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245254 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245254 I could tell that they are great friends and great people, because of the way they took care of Tish. They made sure she ate and stayed healthy. their main motive wasn't to gain something for their own benefit, but to truly take care of Tish. Wed, 16 Dec 2020 14:39:19 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245239 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245239 the waiters gave Tish a friendly vibe maybe because they knew Fonny, and they didn't seem like strangers. the waiters may have been friends with Fonny, and they must have treated Tish like she was a friend of theirs too. Tue, 15 Dec 2020 16:38:19 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245216 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2245216 Tish's father is there to support her no matter what decision she makes. her father is proud of her and loves her a lot. Wed, 06 Jan 2021 13:42:12 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243281 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243281 what does Tish's sister mean when she said "I do admire the way you persevere"? Mon, 14 Dec 2020 18:16:03 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243267 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243267 what way will the lawyer talk to Tish's sister that she wouldn't to Tish? Mon, 14 Dec 2020 18:13:16 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243255 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243255 Tish's family are trying their best and spending money to get Fonny out of jail. they're doing the things that Fonny's family should be doing. I also believe that Fonny's father would have helped if he can, but he doesn't have the money to. Mon, 14 Dec 2020 18:09:11 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243249 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243249 I wonder what lead Fonny to go to jail. and what can the lawyer do in his situation? Fri, 01 Jan 2021 17:00:45 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243247 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243247 I felt that her mother is very good at being a mother when she said "I do not know what you thanking me for" she felt that it was part of her job as a mother to respect Tish's decisions and to help her feel comfortable. Wed, 05 May 2021 10:21:42 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243246 how did Tish's father get her mother to marry him? especially when they just met and when her mother, to me, seemed a little uncomfortable by his presence and was planning to get rid of him before they got to New York. Mon, 14 Dec 2020 17:35:47 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243245 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2243245 maybe Tish is saying that her mother doesn't fit the society's standards of a beautiful woman, but she's beautiful regardless. she's calling the people who believe and agree with that standard blind for not seeing her true beauty. Mon, 14 Dec 2020 17:30:20 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2242312 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2242312 Are they drinking to celebrate? Sat, 23 Jan 2021 14:18:38 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2240961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2240961 is the church and the people in it terrorizing to Tish? or is she referring to the lady with the white rose as the terror that surrounded her? is she trying to say it was funny that her solution to get through that terror was grabbing Fonny's hand? Sat, 12 Dec 2020 17:28:32 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2240960 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2240960 does that mean that the pulpit looks bad, and she didn't like the way it looks? or does she mean that she doesn't like the vibes it gives her, or she just isn't used to it? Sat, 12 Dec 2020 17:07:37 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2233450 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2233450 since Fonny knows that Tish knows how much he loved his mother, and how much he wanted to be allowed to loved her, maybe he hopes that Tish would love him back even if his mother failed to do so. he is comparing her to a person he loves very much, proving that he cares and loves her too. Tue, 08 Dec 2020 11:59:26 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2233438 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2233438 I think that Fonny's mother may have just been happy that Tish came to church, and that's why she complemented Tish, for looking pretty that morning. that was her way of showing her appreciation of Tish taking the time to do things Fonny's mother enjoyed, in this case "coming to the house of the lord". I don't think Fonny's mother meant to insult her of her looks but that was just what Tish interpreted it into. Tue, 08 Dec 2020 11:44:57 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2230416 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2230416 how can Tish be not good enough for Fonny, but at the same time exactly what he deserved? does the author mean that both Tish and Fonny could do better, and that's why they deserve each other? Mon, 07 Dec 2020 08:07:16 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2221058 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2221058 What did Fonny go through that made Tish proud of him? what things did Fonny endure that made her proud? Why is Fonny even in jail in the first place? Fri, 11 Dec 2020 12:52:59 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2213503 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2213503 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 19:08:22 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2213498 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2213498 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 17:45:25 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168773 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168773 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:44:52 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168770 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168770 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:43:19 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168763 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168763 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:51:31 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168749 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168749 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:35:41 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168719 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168719 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:25:12 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168708 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168708 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:54:18 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168695 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168695 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:33:58 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168670 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168670 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:00:42 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168654 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168654 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 19:51:18 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168632 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168632 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 19:32:12 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168546 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2168546 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 18:27:20 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2165733 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2165733 the fear in his parents' voices, are capable of destroying all his hopes of being indifferent, and constantly remind him of this poor reality. that's how they protected him, they made him understand that he's different. he doesn't understand very well or knows what it is, but he is aware that there is a line he must not cross. Wed, 28 Oct 2020 05:33:58 -0700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2165680 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2165680 it would have been extremely hard for him to live the life he wants if he didn't have any special talent, because he wouldn't be useful. no one would take him seriously if others can't benefit from him.

He probably wanted his nephew to know every important detail about the past, to better understand it, and to learn and benefit from it. James wanted to help his nephew to understand why his father is the way he is.
