For session 2 of the blog post we are told to read from pages 63 to 142, in these pages we see Jaquira’s life take a hard turn. We see her father and mother’s relationship turn even more bitter as her mother’s schizophrenia starts to effect the whole family. Her mother and father are always fighting, now to the point where her mother is physically. The reader can see Jaquira become terrified for her and her sister’s own safety especially as Jaquira learns more about the baby lolipop case. Where a deceased 3 year old baby boy was found hidden in a bush. More information about this case comes out and Jaquira learns from the news that the own baby’s mother murdered him(p128). She becomes fearful of her mother especially as we see her mother talk to herself and even get more physically abusive. However when she turns to hee father for help, the one Jaquira looks up to and puts on a pedestal, he simplies turns a blind eye. Heartbroken, Jaquira realizes that her own father will not fighting for her or her sister for custody and she has to eventually go back to fearing for her and her sister’s own safety.
Good summary about Jaquira family problems. It’s tragic to see how she suffered from her family and how it affected her. And that her father became less caring for her is sad since she looked up to him but know he is just some jerk and she will never forgive him for it.
Hi Julangelin,
Thank you so much for the summary. As the title shows you focused more on her family struggles.
Can you share a bit of what you felt while reading? Any thoughts/opinions/questions?

** I love the image btw!
** btw very cute picture!
Really loved your paragraph, I really liked how you wrote about a lot of things from the reading and you managed to tight them all together. But how does this make you feel, maybe write a little bit about your reactions when reading the pages. Love the image as well by the way.
Based off of this well written summary, it seems as if things are getting Domesticaly Violent in Jaquira’s life. Jaquira comparing her life to this case shows that there must be similarities at home even though she’s just a young girl.
