- Annete seems like she uses food as a mending drug.
- I think its rude that Annetes mother would feed her child raccoon soup if she knew that was Annetes pet.
- I wonder why Annetes family is always moving.
- Just because it is someones birthday doesnt mean you have to spend money on a luxury gift. It is not worth piling in debt for.
- How daoes the family take care of their debt?

- Why does Annete want her mother to get another husband?
- Does Annetes' father really behave that way when it comes to white people?
- Why is straight hair an enemy to all colored women?
- Is it really a mistake when you have a child at the age of 30 or is it just the circumstances they are living in that are just not well to welcome a child?

1overview- Annete is the speaker in the first two chapters I have read. She does not have any real friends she can confide in and is really on the verge of binging to death.
