4th block pg. 10 "All our stomachs twist up from no food since Mama and Daddy left a week ago." This is saying that Juney, Sister, and Olivette were left alone for a week, and they were starving from no food. pg. 14 "Sister, what you doing showing J.C. your privatecy." This is important because to me this symbolizes something. It's telling me that sister is growing up and she could possibly had been getting ready to have sex at a young age. pg. 15 "She pulls the gun on him and he leaves." Aunt Beauty pulls a gun out on Baldy and forces him to leave. That turns everything around because there's no man around anymore. pg. 16 "Juney, buck up." This quote is important because Juney is telling herself to step up and take responsibility.

 * //Angelia Ellis 4th block

“**I’m so mad. Mad as a pig on a stick”**
 * -**The quote is saying someone is just as mad as a pig would be if they were killed and put on a stick. The eight year old is mad because sister traded her loskee for a plate of fried mullet, collard greens, and cheese grits. And she’s also stressed because of the fact that she’s only eight and she’s having to **raise** her sisters and they get her upset and worked up for no reason.


 * “Come on Juney. Its time for a change.”**
 * -**Aunt Beauty is saying that they needed to make a difference in their lives, this way the 8 year old can go back to being a child and she would take the responsibility of raising them, so everything would go back to normal.


 * “I glance back at our house that looks like it’s on its knees in prayer”**
 * -**The eight year old is saying their home looks silent, and dark. Just like a human because humans pray on their knees and in the dark and are silent when they pray (well some of them anyway)


 * “Sister, me, and Olivette** all **hang on to one //another// and wait. That pig just loses his mind, bashing and beating and blundering his head under the rumbling house.”**

//**-**The girls are already terrified that a earthquake is occurring, but on top of all of that the pig is underneath the house went crazy because he’s startled by the earthquake and of course scared, but he caused the floor to rumble which terrifies the girls even more because now not only is the house falling apart and shaking so is the floor.//


 * “My nose stops stinging, and I think of what I’ll do because Olivette is my baby now.”**

//-The eight year old is saying she’s having to think of what she has to do now, because the mother is gone and since she’s taken on the responsibility of raising Olivette that’s no longer her sister in her eyes, she’s her baby(daughter)//
