Quote one: "Okay," my father said, "but don't frighten the others in Haiti. Don't tell them about the hospital and the oxygen. Don't make it sound like I'm on my death bed." -Edwidge's father.


Charecter judgment: This really shows what kind of a loving and caring person he is. He doesn't want anyone to know that he is dying and even though it's not actually like a death bed, he has the possibility of dying and does not want anyone to worry about him. He puts others feelings first and you can just really tell here what kind of a person he is.

Question one: When Edwidge's father told Edwidge to walk Uncle Joseph outside do you think that it was to keep her from seeing him cry like she assumed?

Quote two: "Tell Ferna not to worry," he said. "God is with me." -Uncle Joseph page 178

Charecter Judgement: I think that it shows that even though people want to kill him he doesn't worry or care and he knows he is going to be okay because he's keeping his religion close to him.

Question two: Why does he turn his voicebox down?
