I find this story very mysterious. It is because of how the
writer starts the opening. First my thought about this story is Papa were having an affairs with Auntie May behind Mama knowledge. But no actually. Papa just wants to
help Auntie May family problem because Yem which is husband to Auntie May and
he is Papa’s older brother too. That’s why Papa gets involved.
Also I like how the writer plays with the character. They have
bad and good character. For instance, even though Papa was willing to help
Auntie May, he has another character that I kind of not like. He’s like another
different world when he with his family. Papa is reserved and doesn’t talk
much. Which is true: Whenever Grandpa, Mama’s father, comes to visit Sasha’s
family for a few days, he and Grandpa can sit in the living room together for
hours and not say much to one another.
But then again, when his friends come by, Papa is not reserved at all
and is often the most talkative in the group. Weird isn’t?
I dislike Yem’s character because Yem is doing a lot of
wrong towards Auntie May and his sons, Kassim. First by marrying Auntie May
without Jah’s knowledge (Yem’s first wife). Then by pretending that he hasn’t a
second family and even worse, neglecting this second family. This shows that
Yem is not responsible husband and Auntie May is patient woman because she pays
for everything. The house and their food.
I adore Mama’s character because Mama is a very correct
person who gives a lot of thought to what she says or does. She who keeps
informed about plans for the family, what they are to do over the weekend and
where we will be going for their holiday. This shows that Mama was very
responsible mother toward her husband and daughter, Sasha.
Last but not least, I like how the writer ends the ending.
“I
(Auntie May) didn’t invite you (Sasha) into my (Auntie May) house the last
time. It’s late now so I (Auntie May) can’t invite you (Sasha) in this time.
You (Sasha) must come again and get to know Kassim (Auntie May’s son) better”
“Mama turn her head in my (Sasha) direction and one of
her (Mama) eyebrows is lifted in a question-mark”
